So I as well have been playing Elves, basically since I really got in to MtG (about the release of RtR, so not terribly long).

There is an infinite mana loop w/ Ezuri, Renegade Leader and Devoted Druid x2 given you can get 5 mana total into Ezuri without killing either elf (So basically you have 3 mana of some kind plus the 2 Druids), Ezuri gives them +3/+3 each, making it so they can tap for a total of 6 mana, dump 5 of that in to Ezuri and have a net-gain of 1 G, rinse and repeat until all your creatures are infinitely strong (with trample) except for the two druid (which die after end phase, but you pretty much are banking on winning w/ infinite mana).

It's not out yet, but a card I would like to try in my Elves (I DO have Collected Company, which I got on Khans Release for like $2 paper) is the new 2 drop that nets a token as well - Dwynen's Elite. This card, paired with Heritage druid, should net some serious tempo since you get a bear +1 and can tap for 3 more that turn with only one more card (Instead of the normal double dorks).

I would probably take out a couple of dorks for this and with your build put in at least one other Ezuri in you build.

Also a note, I believe the Elite goes infinite with Cloudstone Curio + Nettle Sentinel +Heritage Druid (the druid just has to be on board for the Tap 3 for GGG). Netting you infinite mana and infinite ETB (Essence warden? Or for those who play the U/G edition for Beck.

Note: Didn't see you having Dwynen's Elite until after - however what I said still holds true.

Only problem I see so far is that we're pretty weak to removal early that will set up back a lot, and our combos rely on a lot of pieces, that can be relatively tricky to not get out. If people can afford CoCo, I would probably recommend it in this version over Chord of Calling.

Anyways, that's my piece.

Additional note I also forgot to add in my long-winded comment, genesis wave would also be a decent replacement for Chord of Calling as well. Since then you can go off with the infinite combos a bit more frequently.

Anyone playing Combo Elves deserves a +1 in my book!!! We Elves players got to stick together :) +1 of course.

Have you been accounting for summon sickness in your combos?

KumaLKS yes, most of the combos are based on etbs, infinite damage on turn two requires a Nettle Sentinel turn one (so it doesn't have summoning sickness.)
