Spawning grounds is still a bad card. I think you could use some more fast ramp. You should add 4-5 one mana ramp. Think Elvish Mystic , Fyndhorn Elves , Llanowar Elves , and Birds of Paradise , Boreal Druid

I have a couple of ideas!

Izoni, Thousand-Eyed - you only really get one activation of her token ability, and you have a couple of enchantments that already perform her sacrifice ability

Decree of Pain - pretty high costed boardwipe, when there's others that won't nuke your boardstate in the process

Reap can be replaced with Road of Return , since both do similar things, but Road can interact with your commander directly

Tragic Slip - Abrupt Decay is much better

Profane Command - there's better X spells that aren't too expensive, like Genesis Wave or Torment of Hailfire . I noticed you're going a heavy mana ramp direction with the deck, which is perfectly fine, just also remember to try and include cards that let you play extra lands if you can (cards like Azusa, Lost but Seeking , which recently was reprinted, and Exploration )

And something else pretty important is that beside ramp spells, you'll also want a few rocks/dorks to supplement yourself. There's a lot of them in-budget, like Elves of Deep Shadow , Llanowar Elves , Elvish Mystic , and the Sakura-Tribe Elder you have in already. Another similar ramp one is Yavimaya Elder for fetching basics and such. For rocks, Golgari Signet , Fellwar Stone , Commander's Sphere , and Talisman of Resilience are cheap in both CMC and price, so see if you can slide any of those in too.

It's probably my hardest suggestion to apply, but as you run through and make edits, try and choose a direction to take the deck as a whole - tokens, or lands - as a focus. Once you start narrowing down the archetype you wanna follow, the cards you need to cut to streamline it will start looking more and more obvious!

Mechanon thanks for your suggestions I just changed some stuff around. ya the Elvish Mystic were there as a type of place holder. I haven't played in years so I went back to how I had to get the mana to cast the angels back in 2014/2015.

Hey there! I don't play around with white very often but it looks like an interesting deck. For the sake of having Elvish Mystic , I would get rid of them completely and swap the forests over to plains; just stick with mono-white. Speaker of the Heavens would probably be a good replacement. There's also a lot of high cost creatures. Kaldheim came out with a lot of interesting angel cards such as: Youthful Valkyrie and Righteous Valkyrie . Some cheap and early spells to help you make it to bringing out an Angel of Destiny that I think would be good are Pacifism , The Birth of Meletis and Light of Hope .

Cool deck!!
I would look at Seaside Citadel over another tapland.
Any thoughts about mana dorks over the 0 drops? I would feel a starting hand with Avacyn's Pilgrim and Llanowar Elves , Elvish Mystic , Fyndhorn Elves would feel a lot better than starting with memnite and Ornithopter... but just a thought.

In fact, there are lots more creature ramp you could run, downside is susceptibleto boardwipes. Up to you to decide if the synergy is worth running Fyndhorn Elder or Sakura-Tribe Elder over some of your signets.
Heck you could even consider Wood Elves or Farhaven Elf over sorcery ramps.
Also Fierce Empath is a great way to tutor your bane of progress, and Seasons Past is a great way to recur your creature cards after a boardwipe. And you can cast them again for more value!!
Just some ideas, cheers and have fun.

I'll let you know right now, Legacy is not where you want to start. It's got all but the most obscenely overpowered cards in the history of the game. (Those go into Vintage.) Legacy decks are regularly $4,000+.

A decent Elf starting package might include Shaman of the Pack , Elvish Mystic , Harald, King of Skemfar , and Jaspera Sentinel . These cards are cheap, easy to use, and won't get you laughed at. Note that Shaman of the Pack is not Standard-legal, if you decide to go that direction, but it is Pioneer-legal. I'm not really suggesting for any particular format, just putting options in front of you.

If you're willing to spend more money and start looking at serious competitive options, try to find Collected Company .

If you have any questions, or are confused, please ask!

Nerdytimesorwhatever on Rashmi, Eternities Crafter: Experimental Elves

Ahhh okay, apologies for going overboard. I play a cEDH Rashmi list that is significantly different from yours, though there are some topdeck manipulation similarities!

I still think you should run Elvish Mystic , Arbor Elf , Carpet of Flowers (if applicable), Wild Growth , Utopia Sprawl , and more ways to play Rashmi in the earlier turns in general (like Jeweled Lotus ). My meta has evolved to make it impossible for me to play Rashmi after turn 3, so my lists usually run 15-19 ramp pieces. So take my ramping advice with a grain of salt lol.

I also feel that your interaction suite is a bit light, but thats from the position of someone who runs over 35 interaction spells haha

What does your meta look like, and how does this deck counter it/fit into it?
