Update 2: Overhaul —Feb. 20, 2021

Wow is this ever difficult, there are just so many things I want to add! I definitely appreciate suggestions and comments as I work through swapping out cards from the original precon.

Added

Removed

  • Ambition's Cost - Replacing with Harmonize for all of the cards and none of the life drain.
  • Casualties of War - Expensive to cast, limits my targets and sorcery speed. Trying Windgrace's Judgment instead.
  • Crown of Skemfar - Would rather buff the team with lords than one single creature.
  • Cultivator of Blades
  • Elvish Rejuvenator - Don't like the potential for this to wiff, would prefer more reliable ramp... probably just mana dorks.
  • End-Raze Forerunners - Expensive to cast, replacing with Beastmaster Ascension
  • Eyeblight Cullers - Expensive to cast and conditional on dying to get the tokens. Don't think it's worth it.
  • Eyeblight Massacre - Upgrading to Elvish Dreadlord instead.
  • Farhaven Elf - I think I want cheap mana dorks rather than this ETB land ramp.
  • Harvest Season - This has a high ceiling but it's a bit too conditional for my liking. I want reliable, early ramp instead.
  • Jagged-Scar Archers - Requires a board state to do much damage and limited to only fliers. Better off with a targeted removal spell.
  • Jaspera Sentinel - Just plain bad compared to standard mana dorks.
  • Llanowar Tribe - Expensive mana dork (might be too big to even be a dork), trying some cheaper dorks instead.
  • Lys Alana Scarblade - Feels too conditional. It requires me to have a board state of elves and have additional elves in my hand. Better off with a single target removal spell.
  • Masked Admirers - Would rather have better card advantage than this.
  • Nullmage Shepherd - Four elves is a lot of elves to tap. Thinking I'll be better off with a targeted removal spell instead.
  • Numa, Joraga Chieftain - That's a lot of mana for some counters. I think I'm ok to cut this and rely on my Elf Lords to pump my creatures instead.
  • Poison the Cup - Would prefer a more versatile single target removal spell.
  • Pride of the Perfect - Replacing this effect with Elf Lords.
  • Roots of Wisdom - Would rather better card advantage than this.
  • Springbloom Druid - I can do better than this for mana ramp.
  • 2x Swamp - Going down to 35 lands seems reasonable given the ramp and low curve of the deck.
  • Sylvan Messenger - Concerned about the potential of this wiffing and drawing me nothing. Replacing with more reliable card draw.
  • Tergrid's Shadow - Expensive to cast and I don't like letting my opponents choose which creatures to sacrifice. Would rather just target and destroy what I need to.
  • Timberwatch Elf - Could be powerful but I think I'm better off with Elf Lords that buff the whole team.
  • Twinblade Assassins - Expensive for an effect that only happens on my end step and only if a creature died this turn. Replacing with better card advantage.
  • Voice of Many - Conditional card advantage, I can do better.
  • Voice of the Woods - Kinda' neat but also kind of expensive to cast (5 cmc) and activate (needing 5 untapped elves).
  • Wood Elves - I think I want cheap mana dorks rather than this ETB land ramp.
