Thanks for your comment, doctorhydrogen!

Earthcraft is definitely in books!

I don't know if i would run both enchantments or just replace Cryptolith Rite. Top cut candidates as of right now are Lys Alana Huntmaster & Nullmage Shepherd.

Gleeful Sabotage looks okay, but it has its limits. Sorcery speed is sub par, it's limited to artifacts and in combination with sorcery speed tapping out my creatures is worrying in lots of cases. But i might get a copy and test it, thanks for the suggestion.

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds and Omnath, Locus of Mana. Doubles mana every turn, it's not infinite, but it can be with two other cards.

Thanks for your comment Aethaleon!

Omnath, Locus of Mana is definitely an interesting suggestion, Storing the mana to buff/regen/invest could be very well worth it. I'll see if i can get one to try it out.

I'm unsure about Selvala, Heart of the Wilds though. She's somewhat of a more flexible Viridian Joiner when my Elves are buffed, which is cool. With only 7 creatures with strength 3 or more i fear her being too much draw for my opponents. Since it's not "tied" for greatest power i'll hardly draw since either all my Elves are strong or all are weak in most cases.

Other cards i got in the back of my head are: Arbor Elf, Argothian Elder, Seeker of Skybreak, Joraga Treespeaker and Heart Warden. Any thoughts on them?

You got to see the big picture with Selvala and Omnath. If you have Omnath out, he's going to be the biggest thing on the field, no one should have anything bigger. Then Selvala adds mana equal to his power, effectively doubling the stored green mana. Selvala isn't about her first ability, it's all about her second ability. Omnath gets bigger for all the green mana stored, so if you have 20 green in your pool, he's a 21/21. So he should be the primary target for your opponent's removal, might consider adding Spearbreaker Behemoth for some added protection.

Argothian Elder is really good, you could put in a Deserted Temple and that way you would have Nykthos and the Temple to untap and use again.

Another card I just thought of would be Gigantomancer, he works well with Spearbreaker Behemoth. You could add in Natural Order to get some bigger stuff out faster, Green Sun's Zenith also works.

Just discovered Patron of the Orochi, all I can say about it is, wow...

Man, thanks for all the input!

I see the insane potential if Omnath, Locus of Mana and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds are on the board together, but since i try to play as few and thematic tutors as possible i don't see them in the deck together. In an Omnath deck i'd play the ish out of her! Natural Order, Green Sun's Zenith or else won't find a way in the deck for the same reason.

Deserted Temple is a definite want, as soon as i get my hands on a Gaea's Cradle - or earlier - it'll find it's way in the deck. Same goes for Sylvan Scrying, Crop Rotation and maybe Garruk Wildspeaker and/or Argothian Elder. I'm unsure about the Elder though. Without the Cradle and/or Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx on the board it's a mana dork for . Garruk is more likely to be included as for flexibility, harder removal target and usage the turn it drops.

Gigantomancer and Spearbreaker Behemoth are some way up the curve. Anything over CMC really needs to shine. The mancer will be a huge target and unless i already have a big mana scheme going for i can only get him out and get two creatures to 7/7 the same turn. With Ezuri, Renegade Leader on the board i can give all Elves +6/+6 and Trample for the same mana investment. The Behemoth is another card that shines when i already have a bigger mana scheme going. But, it takes a load to cast him, another to buff my Elves plus the activated ability. 14/29 Elves would even need another Ezuri activation or lord on the board. So, not enough love for both of them.

Patron of the Orochi though, damn! Insane synergy with Elvish mechanics, especially with Thousand-Year Elixir on the board. Vitalize and Quest for Renewal could be low CMC alternatives as well. Especially Vitalize could turn some heads. With only mana open opponents could totally underestimate the situation.

Well, Selvala can be tutored for with Elvish Harbinger, which you have, and Omnath can be tutored for with Fauna Shaman, wait a minute... where's Fauna Shaman? Then big stuff can be cheated into play with Elvish Piper. You have Illusionist's Bracers, Wirewood Lodge, and Thousand-Year Elixir already, only other two I can think of would be Magewright's Stone and Rings of Brighthearth.

Yeah, when I discovered Patron of the Orochi, my jaw dropped. That sucker is just pure OP. With that Thousand-Year Elixir, he gives you a full refund for casting him, just tap out for maximum mana, play him, then untap everything. Maybe even better with Doubling Cube. Then Omnath could store any unused mana. There's also Upwelling which has a similar effect, but it works on all the players.

Also, this just in, Patron of the Orochi's ability can be copied with Rings of Brighthearth and Illusionist's Bracers for 3 full untaps, which doesn't give you infinite mana, but it would certainly give you a megaton of mana.

Magewright's Stone is a good card, but since it doesn't grant pseudo haste and there's enough creature based untap things in the deck already i chose not to play it. Rings of Brighthearth are strictly brutal, but in this deck they are fairly unflexible, as they can't copy mana abilities. Loved both in my past Rhys the Redeemed build though!

Elvish Piper is one of those cards that needs enough stuff to cheat in. in advance, summoning sickness and the fact that only four creatures have cmc over i don't feel it making a huge difference. Fauna Shaman is cool, but in nearly pure Elfball Skyshroud Poacher is better. Can't be tutored as easily, but that's okay.

Upwelling won't make the cut, i prefer my global effects one sidedly. Doubling Cube could be a good mid-late game finisher, but it needs available mana before the doubling actually has an effect. Cheap untap outlets have a greater effect early game and this deck heavily relies on speed. Would rather add Magewright's Stone instead.

Would you be against going infinite mana with Temur Sabertooth? It's not one of those combos that ends the game on the spot, you would still require an attacker with trample. I guess it does also make infinite tokens possible, but they don't have haste.

I try to avoid infinites if possible.

I was thinking Temur Sabertooth as protection before though. I rather have Elvish Archdruid back in my hand instead of my graveyard. :D

Plus, bouncing Craterhoof Behemoth, Elvish Harbinger, Reclamation Sage, Regal Force, Sylvan Messenger or Wood Elves isn't too shabby either.

Yeah, the bounce ability is really useful. If you add Temur Sabertooth to your deck, then you have all the pieces of the infinite combo.

just out of curiosity why not go overkill and run heedless one and drove of elves and siege behemoth?

Thanks for your comment BladeSharkX!

• Siege Behemoth: and needs to attack as well, meh. I prefer higher damages with trample, as it kills off opposing creatures as well. Would rather consider a return of Overwhelming Stampede as it basically doubles strength.
• Drove of Elves: Hexproof and number of green permanents, interesting. This far i prefered to go wide instead of big, but i'll try to get my hands on one of these.
• Heedless One: I consider it worse than Drove of Elves. I'll try that one out first and if it works i'll try this minor version maybe.

Either way, thanks again for your comment and taking the time to look through the deck in detail. :)

i quite like your list im actually modeling my mono green deck based on it. just a couple of minor flavor changes possibly but other than that i feel your deck is just that good. i also took a look at rhys i feel the deck is underwhelming honestly i can think of a few ways you could edit it if you wanted to.

Thanks for the flattering words! I believe the deck is very close to it's perfect non-infinite balance atm. Besides the big money suite (Gaea's Cradle + Deserted Temple + Crop Rotation + Sylvan Scrying + Expedition Map) i'd really love to get my hands on Earthcraft and Mana Reflection. But before that i'm gonna get a Viridian Corrupter. I mean, he's a love child of Viridian Shaman and Glistener Elf. Very solid in this format.

Nevermind the Rhys the Redeemed deck though. That was a project i tried to keep alive for way too long. Building him Elfball was stupidly bad as he's way better off as a token good stuff commander. My other decks (Prossh - Need some water for that burn?, Brago - Either i'll get to have it or you lose it! & Omnath, Locus of Ramp) reflect my current deck building abilities way better.

Hit me up whenever your deck list can be seen!

I think this deck would great if it had a Paradox Engine in the deck.
