i like elf decks for the mana ramp so you should check out llanowar elves or elvish mystic.

Thanks for your Input, checked these to already but decided to stick with titania's and archdruid. Sure the ramp doens't work from forest #1, but nevertheless games rarely are longer than 6 turns :)

Why is there no Staff of Domination? o.0 That's where you pull off a turn 3 win with infinite infinite/infinite elves.

Maybe I'm to noob at this point, but can you explain the mechanics you see in Staff of Domination? I don't see an advantage which I don't already get with Seeker of Skybreak and +1 from Nissa Revane. Thx in advance :)

I forget the mechanics, but the strategy is basically: mana dorks, Priest of Titania, Staff of Domination for infinite mana because Priest taps for one more mana than using the staff to untap a creature and itself. Put in a couple utility elves, and you draw your whole deck, play it, infinitely activate abilities to make them infinite/infinite and use something in the deck to give them haste.

Ah there you go, totally forgot that you could use the Staff for getting more mana, was totally battletricks focused :oGuess that's a now brainer in this case, see where I can fit it in.

First of all, meant no-brainer in my comment before :o Playtested a little and saw no real benefit in Staff of Domination, to pricy. But worked around with Elvish Mystic, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Nettle Sentinel, Slate of Ancestry and Thousand-Year Elixir. Target: Get a fast and proper rampup for the Artifacts or the Genesis Wave. So, a lot happened today, now I'm gonna test it on MTGO :)

Thousand-Year Elixir is a good idea. If you can give everything haste, get infinite mana, and genesis wave flipping your library onto the battlefield with +infinity/+infinity, you should be good.

Have you seen how legacy combo elves tends to work already? Nettle Sentinel and Heritage Druid, combined with cheap elves (who in turn tap for mana cause Heritage Druid gives psudo mana ramp haste) and Glimpse of Nature to draw a lot.

Green Sun's Zenith gives you a tool box effect as well.

http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/deck-of-the-day-legacy-elves/ is a good example

Hi and thank you for your input. Regarding your proposals:

Last but not least, I appriciate your comment, but looking at your link you posted: to me an elfdeck has to be monogreen and has to contain mostly or only elves. Call me old fashioned, but the suggested deck is far away from the elf-sensation I'm looking for with my deck. Already took the Primordial Hydra in there for some lategame punch, if a game should really lasts that long. And where's the thrill to reconstruct some deck found in an article? :D To me this deck has enough combos to deserve its described name, having all the fun rounds in mind where I won in MTGO and against friends ;)
