Welcome! This is a fun elf deck that generates absurd amounts of mana. Here I will explain what each card does. I've been working on this deck for quite a while now, and I hope you like it! Special thanks to everyone who's helped me improve my decks with advice!

SECTION NE

Section One, Part one: Mana Dorks. These cards are Arbor Elf , Boreal Druid , Elvish Mystic , Fyndhorn Elves , Llanowar Elves , and I guess Sol Ring . I am playing these cards simply because they get my Marwyn, the Nurturer down on turn 2, rather than turn 3, and that's awesome.

Section One, Part Two: Card Draw. The purpose of these cards is simple. If you dump your hand, then you want to draw even more cards to play. These are my card draw cards: Beast Whisperer , Elvish Visionary , Generous Patron , Regal Force , Return of the Wildspeaker , Growing Rites of Itlimoc  , Skullclamp , Staff of Domination , The Great Henge , Harmonize , Lead the Stampede , Rishkar's Expertise , Duskwatch Recruiter  , and Tranquil Thicket .

Section One, Part Three: Finishers. These cards are how we win (unless, of course, we get the infinite combos listed in section two). Once we can play them, we're basically able to win the game, or at least take out our biggest threats. Our finishers are Craterhoof Behemoth , Genesis Wave , End-Raze Forerunners , Ezuri, Renegade Leader 's second ability, Joraga Warcaller , Overwhelming Stampede , Return of the Wildspeaker , and Triumph of the Hordes .

Section One, Part Four: Lords. These cards boost the power of my elves, and make the swarm even more powerful. They are Elvish Archdruid , Elvish Clancaller , Imperious Perfect , and Joraga Warcaller .

Section One, Part Five: Again! The cards here have the ability of untapping Marwyn, the Nurturer , and generating much more mana by doing so. Here are the "untappers": Quirion Ranger , Malachite Talisman , Scryb Ranger , Wirewood Symbiote , Wirewood Lodge , Burst of Strength , Stony Strength , and my combo pieces that I will explain in Section Two.

Section One, Part Six: Counters. These are all cards that put more and more +1/+1 counters on Marwyn, the Nurturer : Evolution Sage , Generous Patron , Immaculate Magistrate , Rishkar, Peema Renegade , Vigor , Karn's Bastion , Llanowar Reborn , Oran-Rief, the Vastwood , Vastwood Hydra , Burst of Strength , Stony Strength , Hydra's Growth , Panharmonicon , Lys Alana Huntmaster , Dwynen's Elite , Elvish Promenade , and The Great Henge

Section One, Part Seven: Other Ramp. These cards also produce lots of mana. Elvish Archdruid , Joraga Treespeaker , Priest of Titania , Castle Garenbrig , Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , Temple of the False God , Growing Rites of Itlimoc  , and The Great Henge .

SECTION TW

Section Two, Part One: The Combo Pieces. This is where things start to get fun, and we set up some stupid combos. Here are the combo pieces: Temur Sabertooth , Wirewood Symbiote , Staff of Domination , Sword of the Paruns , and Umbral Mantle . The combo with Umbral Mantle is simple enough. Tap Marwyn for 3, and then untap her, then tap her for 5, and so on. Then you can just slap a Rancor on her and swing for infinite damage, or you can use you infinite mana however you like. The combo works similarly with Sword of the Paruns . Now with Staff of Domination , the combo starts the same by giving you infinite mana, and then you can gain infinite life, draw your entire deck, and then play anything from section 2 part 3 for the win!. The last combo is different, though. You are going to need a Temur Sabertooth and a Wirewood Symbiote , Marwyn, and any old elf. First of all, you are going to have to make sure that the Marwyn can tap for X+4 mana, where X is the cost of your other elf. In this case, we'll pretend our other elf is an Elvish Mystic . So, I tap my Marwyn for 5, and then return Elvish Mystic to my hand and untap Marwyn, using Wirewood Symbiote . Then, I pay 2 to return Wirewood Symbiote to my hand, using Temur Sabertooth , and then play my Wirewood Symbiote and Elvish Mystic again, with one mana floating. Elvish Mystic entering the battlefield puts another counter on Marwyn, and casting Wirewood Symbiote again resets his ability, so I can use it again this turn. Repeat this process infinite times, resulting in infinite counters on Marwyn, and infinite mana! Notice: most of these combos can work with any creature capable of generating enough mana, not just Marwyn.

Section Two, Part Two: Tutors. These cards help me set up combos for the win. The tutors are: Elvish Harbinger , Blighted Woodland , (Neither of which actually tutor for any of the combo pieces), Shared Summons , Planar Bridge , Skyship Weatherlight , and Primal Command .

Section Two, Part Three: Now What? Now that I have infinite mana, what do I do with it? Well, I could just make a huge Vastwood Hydra , but that's kinda boring. Also, I could activate Ezuri, Renegade Leader 's second ability a ton, or cast a huge Genesis Wave . I could also just play a huge Joraga Warcaller . Or I could play a giant Walking Ballista and ping everyone to death.

Upvotes, comments, and suggestions are always appreciated, and thanks for the support! Also feel free to check out some of my other decks, and I hope you'll enjoy them. Special thanks to my friend Griffin (griffincool) for helping me with this deck and many others.
