This is an attempt at an Elves Tribal for Standard when Origins comes out. Thoughts and ideas are always welcome.

So this is my battle plan so far:

T1 we need that ramp so mana dork is important this turn, we are shooting for a swamp and a Gnarlroot Trapper because not only does he ramp in my elves but he gives a disincentive early game to blocking them.

T2 we need another land and something to thin the deck out Nissa's Pilgrimage will do this for us, if not that then we want Elvish Visionary for card advantage and maybe another mana dork.

T3 at this point we should have four open mana or more to play with and we want to pull out Sylvan Messenger to try to pull out as many elves as we can (which is why it is important to thin the deck last turn).

Dark Dabbling regenerates an elf or all of them.
Gravepurge brings back all my (important) fallen elves including my planeswalker

At this point we use Nissa, Vastwood Seer   and Sword of the Animist to further thin the deck, Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen to pump up the guys and heal some, and Shaman of the Pack and Foul-Tongue Shriek as finishers.

Sideboard consists of reclemation sage to deal with pesky enchantments and Gilt-Leaf Winnower to deal with pesky creatures like seige rhino .
