I'm always looking for feedback on my decks, so don't be afraid to leave any comments on them.
If you see something wrong on this site, especially something that is card-related, please let me or yeaGO! know.
mistergreen527's Magic History:
I started playing Magic in 2001, around the release of 7th Edition. I introduced the game to my cousin and we kept each other interested. We went to Friday Night Magic every week, went to a few Prereleases, and participated in Grand Prix: Milwaukee. We were definitely competitive Standard players. Invasion and Odyssey Blocks were our realm.
Then, with the release of Onslaught in 2003, half of my collection was no longer Standard legal. I was in high school and didn't have much money, so I started to fall out of the competetive scene. My cousin continued going to tournaments, and I still played against him casually, but the game started to lose some of its appeal because he was keeping up with the current block, while I was always playing with the same cards. At some point, my collection was put into storage and I didn't play for years.
I first shuffled my cards up again when I found out some of my friends in college were playing Magic. My reemergence into the game coincided near the release of Lorwyn in 2007. Our group plays casually. We just play for fun and don't really have any bans on cards. Although, no one is afraid to tell you when you're being a jerk by using a broken combo that just sucks the fun out of the game for everyone else. We play a lot of multiplayer and often experiment with different formats (EDH and Pauper, for example). Occasionally, some of us throw together a Standard deck and go to Friday Night Magic, but that's not a focal point for us.
When someone in my play group showed me TappedOut.net, I was immediately intrigued. When I investigated it more, I fell in love with the site. I tend to build decks a lot, and TappedOut.net is a great resource for organizing and getting feedback. I've been doing my best to help improve the site and have allowed my OCD to kick in to help me with that.

Normally, yes. However, this deck can cascade into it with either alara-reborn/demonic-dread.jpgDemonic Dread or alara-reborn/violent-outburst.jpgViolent Outburst, allowing you to cast it instead of suspending it. Since this deck doesn't have any converted mana costs less than three, time-spiral/hypergenesis.jpgHypergenesis will always be cascaded into.

I completely agree about the worldwake/mires-toll.jpgMire's Toll vs. 2010-core-set/duress.jpgDuress.

He can use mirrodin/glimmervoid.jpgGlimmervoid, shadowmoor/pili-pala.jpgPili-Pala, and darksteel/darksteel-ingot.jpgDarksteel Ingot because they don't show any mana symbols. mirrodin/chrome-mox.jpgChrome Mox is allowed to be in the deck, but it won't be able to produce any mana, since the imprinted card won't have any colors.

Since you're not playing any equipment, you may as well replace the zendikar/armament-master.jpgArmament Masters and zendikar/kor-duelist.jpgKor Duelists with zendikar/kor-aeronaut.jpgKor Aeronauts and worldwake/kor-firewalker.jpgKor Firewalkers.

This is a pretty tough one. I know you said that you would prefer to use worldwake/stirring-wildwood.jpgStirring Wildwood over worldwake/raging-ravine.jpgRaging Ravine, but since your most important first turn drops are all white, you probably don't want to be replacing white sources that enter the battlefield untapped with white sources that enter the battlefield tapped. So, in this case, I'd probably use worldwake/raging-ravine.jpgRaging Ravine.
Using my system of land ratios mixed with the nonbasics you're already using, I would use the following lands:
3 zendikar/arid-mesa.jpgArid Mesa, 1 Forest, 3 Mountain, 7 Plains, 4 worldwake/raging-ravine.jpgRaging Ravine, 4 2010-core-set/sunpetal-grove.jpgSunpetal Grove, and 1 2010-core-set/terramorphic-expanse.jpgTerramorphic Expanse.

It looks like you've got a pretty good build here. The main card I see missing that I definitely recommend you find room for is zendikar/brave-the-elements.jpgBrave the Elements. It saves your creatures from removal and can be used to attack through any blockers for the win. I'd probably replace the three 2010-core-set/armored-ascension.jpgArmored Ascension and one zendikar/conquerors-pledge.jpgConqueror's Pledge to fit them in. 2010-core-set/armored-ascension.jpgArmored Ascension can be a game winner, but it can also result in your opponent getting a two-for-one on you (using one card to get rid of two of yours). zendikar/brave-the-elements.jpgBrave the Elements, on the other hand is also a game winner without the risk of getting two-for-oned. Plus, it's converted mana cost is mush less. The zendikar/conquerors-pledge.jpgConqueror's Pledge is really good. Taking one out would just lower your mana curve.
Next, I question the two zendikar/emeria-the-sky-ruin.jpgEmeria, The Sky Ruins. How often are you able to use its ability? Since you have so many one and two drops, I think a basic Plains would probably be better, just because having zendikar/emeria-the-sky-ruin.jpgEmeria, The Sky Ruin enter the battlefield tapped can throw off your tempo. If you haven't been having trouble with tempo, but haven't consistently activating the ability, try out worldwake/sejiri-steppe.jpgSejiri Steppe.
For the sideboard, I'd consider 2010-core-set/celestial-purge.jpgCelestial Purge, shards-of-alara/oblivion-ring.jpgOblivion Ring, and worldwake/refraction-trap.jpgRefraction Trap. 2010-core-set/rhox-pikemaster.jpgRhox Pikemaster may also do well against other aggro decks. Keep the worldwake/kor-firewalker.jpgKor Firewalkers there. The rest could probably be replaced.
Hope this helps!

I'm a big fan of what you've got going here.
The first thing that sticks out to me, though, is the absence of three-drops. This gap should definitely be filled by zendikar/kabira-evangel.jpgKabira Evangel. The protection he offers will help you get through your opponents creatures. Which is important with how aggressive this deck is shooting to be. I'd probably replace zendikar/kazuul-warlord.jpgKazuul Warlord with him. zendikar/kazuul-warlord.jpgKazuul Warlord is a great card and is amazing for mid to late game, but I think this deck is shooting to win very early, which just makes a five-drop too slow, especially since white/red has no protection from zendikar/day-of-judgment.jpgDay of Judgment.
Other than that, it really does look excellent.
For the sideboard, consider shards-of-alara/oblivion-ring.jpgOblivion Ring, worldwake/refraction-trap.jpgRefraction Trap, and worldwake/ricochet-trap.jpgRicochet Trap.

I'm assuming your main win condition is casting a kicked zendikar/rite-of-replication.jpgRite of Replication on worldwake/halimar-excavator.jpgHalimar Excavator. Is this correct?
If this is the case, I would play zendikar/vines-of-vastwood.jpgVines of Vastwood or in the main board. Once your opponent sees that your playing green and blue and that you have worldwake/halimar-excavator.jpgHalimar Excavator on the battlefield, it will have a huge target on its head. The last thing you need is to target worldwake/halimar-excavator.jpgHalimar Excavator with zendikar/rite-of-replication.jpgRite of Replication and to have your opponent cast conflux/path-to-exile.jpgPath to Exile or 2010-core-set/lightning-bolt.jpgLightning Bolt in response. I'd consider replacing either worldwake/explore.jpgExplore or zendikar/harrow.jpgHarrow. They are both great cards, but I doubt you need both of them.
Assuming I'm correct so far, your secondary win condition is probably beat down. If so, I'd replace zendikar/oran-rief-survivalist.jpgOran-Rief Survivalist with zendikar/umara-raptor.jpgUmara Raptor. You already have plenty of two drops and the zendikar/umara-raptor.jpgUmara Raptor's evasion can help a lot. I'd also consider playing two of either 2010-core-set/overrun.jpgOverrun or zendikar/seascape-aerialist.jpgSeascape Aerialist to assist with the beat down.
I know he's expensive, but worldwake/jace_the_mind_sculptor.jpgJace, the Mind Sculptor is AMAZING with worldwake/treasure-hunt.jpgTreasure Hunt and will help you get any card you need quicker.
As for the side, you definitely want 2010-core-set/negate.jpgNegate there, because zendikar/day-of-judgment.jpgDay of Judgment ruins both of your game plans. I also suggest zendikar/spreading-seas.jpgSpreading Seas for against Jund and other decks that rely a lot on having a diverse mana-base. Some other cards to consider and/or try out are worldwake/canopy-cover.jpgCanopy Cover, 2010-core-set/essence-scatter.jpgEssence Scatter, and 2010-core-set/flashfreeze.jpgFlashfreeze.
As always, I hope this helps. Let me know if I made any false assumptions.

Hi mistergreen its me again my elves arent dead deck is still evolving and i dropped zendikar/oracle-of-mul-daya.jpgOracle of Mul Daya in favor of worldwake/leatherback-baloth.jpgLeatherback Baloth to go for a more aggressive approach and i managed to pick up 3 copies of 2010-core-set/garruk-wildspeaker.jpgGarruk Wildspeaker so any more of you expert advise is greatly appreciated. Thank You

Sorry, you were out and about and I was bored.
TAMA on mistergreen527 2 days, 17 hours ago
Alright since you helped me out with my last mechanic question, I got another one for you. Can I 2010-core-set/pithing-needle.jpgPithing Needle a Khalni Heart Expedition] to prevent it's 2nd ability? The reason I ask this, is because it doesn't have a standard activation cost that we are all used to seeing. However, it still does look like it has some form of activation via removing counters and sacrifice.

Thank you so much for all your help with my decks mistergreen. I have recently taken a liking to a u/g ally build and it is a blast to play. I wanted to know if you could maybe give me some ideas to make it competitive and the sideboard needs a ton of work. Thank you
