I appreciate any and all feedback, this is a competitive deck. The meta I play against consists of Urza, Narset, Rafiq of the many, Sidisi, Merieke control Breya, Gitrog. The goal is looking to combo by milling my whole deck and looping Nexus of Fate. If you like the deck, feel free to upvote or give it a try. Again, I am mostly just looking for ways to improve the deck.

The goal of the deck

We want to cast low CMC elves fast and early to generate extra mana through the elf synergy we all know and love. Although elves are typically very fast, we want to land some of the staxy pieces and combo protection to sure up a line for the win. Once those critical pieces are in place, we can pursue our lines for a win.

How it wins:Line 1 updated

This is the updated primary line and the most efficient. Tutor for Hermit Druid and Thassa's Oracle. With hermit druid in the battlefield, cast thassa’s Oracle, responding time the etb trigger, activate hermit druid.

How it wins:Line 2 updated

Th win condition Hermit Druid + Nexus of Fate combo. Tutor for and successfully castHermit Druid. This can be done a number of ways with the different creature tutors in the deck. Activate his ability milling the entire deck and once Nexus of Fate hits the bin, it is automatically shuffled into the library. This can also be accomplished with Cephalid Illusionist + Nomads en-Kor . As long as there is sufficient mana to recast Nexus of Fate each turn using card:Derevi, Empyrical Tactician ability to untap the necessary mana, take infinite turns and win. Preferably you want to do this into an empty board while you have plenty of attackers.

Updated How it wins: line 3

Find a way to land Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Triskelion. Activate Heliod’s ability giving triskelion life link. Remove a +1/+1 counter from triskelion, deal one damage to an opponent. This triggers Heliod to put an additional +1/+1 counter in triskelion. Repeat until we’ve remove all opponents
