Play cards that give a bonus to your elves and benefit you when you have lots of elves on the battlefield, giving you an army of huge elves for an efficient amount of mana. Who doesn't like to swing with like 6 8/8's on turn 4? Thus the name "elf pump".
Speed is also a strength of this deck, especially from the sideboard, and this deck is very consistent compared to modern elf (combo) decks because you don't have to mulligan as much, and in general it's more flexible with what cards it needs since its aggro. I also really like this deck because it's unique compared to other elf decks, and yet it's still effective.
How to deal 30,000+ damage: use nissa's ability to put out all of your elves, and play coat of arms, OR use an infinite mana combo w/ Elvish Archdruid and Staff of Domination to use a massive Genesis Wave and put out your whole deck (except for a couple lands), then keep making more elves with your Imperious Perfects (if you want you can make infinite with Staff of Domination).When you attack with all of your elves the damage total can exceed 30,000. Obviously this takes a number of turns, but i mean once you have all of your elves on the field, what could possibly stop you? Ezuri can regenerate all your elves so yeah :)Ok it has come to my attention that it's become more difficult to deal 30,000+ damage in one turn with this deck because i took out Staff of Domination, Immaculate Magistrate,Joraga Warcaller and Coat of Arms. If you want to play this deck casually and deal ridiculous amounts of damage, feel free to include those cards. I took out those cards so that the deck would be more competitive. However, I kept the same name for the deck (Elf Pump) because that's still how this deck wins: ezuri, renegade leaeder pumps up your elf legion and swings for massive damage, not to mention a couple of other pump lords, and Mirror Entity!
I need tips or suggestions on other elf cards for those utility slots, especially new cards that are coming out. Collected Company has been a really nice addition. Also maybe some sideboard help, especially for things to protect my elves from removal;
Eladamri, Lord of Leaves
