Play Selvala then tap that ass and cantrip to net mana, life and cards until you win.

Should be considered a competitive deck as it has consistent turn 3-4 wins (is possible for turn 2). Elf tribal subtheme for some infinite mana shenanigans.

While multiple different wincons help you be somewhat flexible, this deck is built around a super linear idea. So if your opponents have any way to prevent Selvala from hitting the field ( Nevermore or something along those lines) then you're going to have a rough day. The only real way for the deck to beat that is to outrace it. The deck's strength is its speed and consistency. Make sure you're keeping opening hands with a way to ramp into a turn 2 Selvala and a way to untap her turn 3, and unless you're one unlucky SOB you'll probably get there.

However, once you get going it's damn near impossible to stop. The deck regularly fights through multiple blue players with a Force of Will and Pact of Negation each and still wins. But because you're relying on opponent's decks to net you mana, you need to be playing against 3 opponents in order to consistently win (it's possible for 2, but it's much more difficult). So this definitely isn't the deck to bring out if you're planning on playing 1v1. This means you also need to Be careful when laser beaming someone in the face with Aetherflux Reservoir . Do it too early and you could end up losing because you’re not netting as much mana as you need to.

This has got to be my favorite deck to play, so I'd really appreciate any constructive input or criticism.

Combos

A couple new changes have increased the number of combos the deck has:

Priest of Titania / Elvish Archdruid + Umbral Mantle & 3 other elves = infinite mana, then equip the mantle to Selvala.

Cloudstone Curio + Instill Energy + Nature's Chosen = G to untap Selvala.

Cloudstone Curio + Wirewood Symbiote + 1 CMC creature = GG to untap Selvala.

Wirewood Symbiote + Mirror Entity = 1G to untap Selvala.

Win Cons

The most common (assuming people don't scoop) is to Squall Line with x = everyone else's life.

Forcefeeding your opponents their entire deck is another option against those that like to use Teferi's Protection . After producing an arbitrary amount of mana, being able to cast Reclaim targeting Noxious Revival means I can indefinitely not draw any additional cards while everyone else is going 1 deeper.

You can also laser people down with Aetherflux Reservoir

Lastly, turning right with the team after pumping them with Mirror Entity

***It would also be very easy to make this a budget deck. There are only a few cards that are fairly expensive that could be replaced. It should be quite simple to get it under $100 while keeping the strategy and theme the same.
