Tempt with Reflections, and that whole cycle might be fun.

Sylvan Offering allows for some shared tree-hugging! That one's part of a great cycle as well.

Akroan Horse...? Too mean to the target? Idk mebe they're on Arcades, the Strategist ;)

The "Mastery" cycle from STX has some potential, some of the effects might be to one-sided though unsure.

Love the deck!

carpecanum Keiga, the Tide Star is hilarious.

I've also been looking for an XG token spell, and Sylvan Offering is perfect

Multiple copies of Keiga, the Tide Star would destroy themselves and give you control of a lot of creatures.

Sylvan Offering would give you a tons of creatures while your neighbor only gets measly little elves.

Sylvan Offering . Squirrel cavalry (every squirrel gets an elf to ride).

Druid's Call on a blocker could be effective. Nemesis Mask would let all your squirrels attack unblocked except for one poor, brave nut case. The two together makes an unbelievable number of squirrels depending on how many creatures your opponent has untapped. (I use that combo on an indestructible creature usually).

Master Biomancer . The first copy gets 2 counters. As long as all the copies remains on the battlefield each new copy will progress with double the counters +2. 6 then 14 then 30 etc.

Sylvan Offering . Stack triggers so you get to change x number of elves into whatever you want.

Update May 11, 2021

Due to some fabulous new elves that have been released over the past few sets as well as the printing of Commander Collection: Green, I've aquired a few more cards and have updated my list.

Forest OUT Fyndhorn Elves IN

I'm not sure why Fyndhorn wasn't initially in here, but its as a good as a land in this deck.

Forest OUT Worldly Tutor IN

While we already have most of the best tutoring green has to offer here, we added the last missing piece. One often overlooked aspect of Elves is that they have incredible toolbox properties, so being able to grab what we need cheaply is great. By cutting two forests we are down to 30 % land, which is what we would run in modern and is a great benchmark for lands. We've got lots of ways to grab our lands in the deck, so we shouldn't miss them too much.

Praetor's Counsel OUT Ezuri's Predation IN

One thing that is really hard to come by in mono-green is board wipes, so I'm really pleased that they reprinted this recently. In theory Praetor's Counsel is good because board wipes are the bane of our existence and this gives us a way to recover, but in reality if we get wiped we'll never be able to pay the mana cost. Its better to just play conservative and use Ezuri's 2nd ability to protect out pieces, and cards like Eladamri to protect him.

Drove of Elves OUT Canopy Tactician IN

Yet another Elf Lord that pumps our whole team and gives us more ramp to boot? Give me more. As for Drove, we have other ways to make one thing big, and while this card has never been bad its never been exciting either. Jagged-Scar Archers gives us crucial anti-flying tech when we need it for one less mana, and while it lacks hexproof, we'll be happy of our opponents waste removal on archers and not one of our more important cards. Timberwatch Elf and Immaculate Magistrate give us flexibility in combat that is far better than the obvious threat drove represents.

Nylea's Presence OUT Elvish Warmaster IN

While giving non-green decks a forest to enable a forest-walk kill is cute, this is somewhat situational, and we have lots of other ways to get through with the damage we need. Warmaster just such incredible value for the same mana that this change seems to be a no-brainer.

Sylvan Offering OUT Elven Ambush IN

While offering is a good card, giving our opponents blockers just doesn't suit us in this deck. Ambush helps only us at instant speed with the creature type we want. Its an improvement on Elvish Promenade that absolutely deserves a spot.

Keiga, the Tide Star is fun to duplicate. Duplicant maybe.

Snake Basket , Notorious Throng , Aether Mutation , Saber Ants , Broodhatch Nantuko , Progenitor Mimic , Pest Infestation

I'm not a rules guy. Would Sylvan Offering allow you to create elves before treefolk?

Copying Master Biomancer or Biovisionary is so good, maybe replace a couple "lesser" creatures with creature tutors?

Helm of Possession , sac a token, steal a creature then sac that with your boss

Most Elf Lords only buff the elves YOU control so Sylvan Offering can give you a bunch of elves and the opponent you gift elves to doesn't get the benefits (usually, depends on the deck. Don't give em to a guy playing Ashnod's Altar ...)
