This is a pretty typical elfball build, but I would love suggestions for improvement. Currently, it is built for the standard elf-ball strategy: make elves (Lys Alana Huntmaster, Rhys the Redeemed, etc.), make a ton of mana using your elves (Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid,. Elvish Guidance), and then use all that mana to make more elves! Oh and also cast your kill-cards (Overhwelming Stampede, Overrun, Triumph of the Hordes, using Ezuri, Renegade Leader's ability, etc. I usually wait to swing until I have either one of the aforementioned kill-cards in hand or I have a pretty good board state a la Beastmaster's Ascention or Eldrazi Monument.

I've also made sure to include ways to untap Selvala and really exploit her parley ability: Copperhorn Scout, Wirewood Lodge, etc. Speaking of untap shenanigans, Paradox Engine makes this deck stupid. With Abundance out you can theoretically fish for any win-con.

White is splashed in mainly for removal via Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares. But having access to Privileged Position is always nice.

Changes I'm considering:Yeva, Nature's Herald is something I'm testing out, to see if it's viable. I'm envisioning flashing in elves using mana generated from parleying on opponents' turns. I also would like to have more top-deck manipulation to really take advantage of parley. It's partially what Sylvan Library is for but I imagine throwing in a Mirri's Guile couldn't hurt.

I also need Concordant Crossroads

Comments and suggestions are welcome, thanks for visiting! I'm particularly looking for help in how to make this deck faster. The fastest win I've had was swinging for 10 trample/infect on turn 3. Second-fastest was 25 trample/infect turn 5. But it is not consistent, and it can always be faster.
