Elf tribal, led by Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury. Goals are to vomit out Elves onto the battlefield, then use the mana they provide and creature-based card draw to draw and cast more, with the goal being to land some kind of way to make your horde of Elves super-beefy (Beastmaster Ascension, Overrun, etc.) before alpha striking. Obviously Elf tribal synergy is key, so there are a lot of cards that care about Elves in this deck.

Freyalise herself is not incredibly tied-in to the Elf synergy, though she does produce what are essentially Llanowar Elves tokens; however, she's incredibly useful as an all-round, toolbox kind of commander. Her -2 can take out artifacts or enchantments, and her ultimate can draw cards all day erry day (and, as with most planeswalkers, can be used the turn she comes out with a Doubling Season in play).

Since this is mono-green and there are other legendary Elves in the deck, there are other options for your commander, giving you some flexibility and changing up the gameplay of the deck! The other potential commanders are:

• Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen
• Ezuri, Renegade Leader
• Marwyn, the Nurturer
• Nissa, Vastwood Seer  
• Yeva, Nature's Herald

Dwynen, Ezuri, and Marwyn are Elves-matter commanders, so they're fairly straightforward in this deck (play a buttload of Elves to snowball their effect and go from there), although how they individually play out is different: Dwynen is more lifegain-focused, while Ezuri is Elvish-Overrun-on-legs and Marwyn is +1/+1 Voltron plus big mana. Nissa is more ramp-based while her planeswalker side is more about Elementals/lands-matter, and Yeva is all about being able to cast your Elves at instant speed. I would definitely recommend using those commanders who make the most of the deck's tribal synergy, and am actually debating the other two's inclusion (Nissa's ramp is good ramp, but ramp is not that needed in an Elf deck and she has no other synergy with the deck aside from being an Elf herself, and I am not 100% convinced of Yeva's utility in this deck).

Currently planning on adding:

• Craterhoof Behemoth (an additional wincon)
• Elvish Guidance (more big mana)
• Growing Rites of Itlimoc   (even cut-rate Gaea's Cradle is amazing, and incredibly easy to turn on in this deck)
• Kindred Summons
• Nissa Revane (another wincon)
• Vanquisher's Banner (sweet tribal synergy)
• Wirewood Channeler (more big mana)
• Wirewood Lodge (quite a few of our Elves have tap abilities)

I am also thinking I need a big-mana-based wincon, since a) currently combat or commander damage is my only wincon (and that latter only with alternate commanders), and b) I can create a BUTTLOAD of mana in this deck, but I don't have that many places to direct said mana. Maybe a Helix Pinnacle?

Currently on the chopping block:

• Nissa, Vastwood Seer  
• Yeva, Nature's Herald

I am definitely open to other suggestions of cards to add, and to thoughts on any of my proposed additions/deletions!
