This cheap casual deck uses Elvish Archdruid + Priest of Titania to get huge amounts of mana. Ideally you will play one of them on turn 2. There are two ways to win:

1. Just ramp as many elves and lords onto the battlefield as possible, then pump them with Ezuri, Renegade Leader and attack with everything you've got.

2. Summon a Heroes' Bane or a Hydra Broodmaster as soon as you can, then make it monstrous. Now that it has +1/+1 counters, it gets trample from Bramblewood Paragon.

Elvish Visionary and Sylvan Ranger draw cards so even more elves can join the party.

Essence Warden, Wellwisher, Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, Rhys the Exiled, and Oracle of Nectars are lifegain cards so you can focus on offense instead of defense.

This deck can be made Modern legal by taking out a few cards such as Priest of Titania.

I know there are a LOT of one-of cards in here, but in most cases I only own one copy of the card... I buy one or two new cards a month when I have a few bucks. Having one of a bunch of cards also lets me convert from a 60-card deck to a 100-card Commander if I decide to do that later. The mana dorks, Archdruids, and hydras are the only essential parts of the deck and everything else can be changed around and experimented with.

I welcome your suggestions!
