Modern BG (Golgari) Elves Ramp

This is a really fun elf deck that plays around with some cards you rarely see in competition. It's quite resilient and provides numerous paths to victory - the most common is dropping a big Joraga Warcaller or a big Shaman of the Pack, but a lot of games are won when you play Throne of the God-Pharoh. Between tapping elves for mana and Heritage Druid it's easy to tap out and the Throne is something they never see coming, especially once they've sided out all of their artifact hate.

Both Realmwalker and Beast Whisperer/The Great Henge will net you plenty of extra cards, but once you get both on the board they really never stop coming. I honestly don't think I've ever had the deck wait longer than turn 5 before blowing up, and there have been many occasions when, on round 4 or 5, I could have drawn and cast my whole deck if I had wanted to.

I'm not set on the sideboard yet, but Gaea's Herald will make blue decks miserable, Elvish Champion is practically a win-con for Green match-ups and Weather the Storm will blow up for you big time - it's not uncommon for one casting to net me 40 or 50 life.
