Quick semi-competitive Selvala elfball deck.

There are a few ways to win. Most win cons require you to have infinite mana, which isn't very hard to do. To get infinite mana you need to get 4 elves in play, with one of them being Priest of Titania or Elvish Archdruid, and Umbra Mantle. The two elf's listed tap for at least 4 and use 3 with the mantle to untap. Rinse and repeat for infinite mana. If you need white after you have infinite green you can move the mantle over to a Birds, Bloom Tender (with white card out), or Pilgrim.

Infinite mana can be used to pump a Walking Ballista and kill everyone at once or you can use the mana to infinity pump your creatures in play with the +2/+2 from mantle and swing for the win. You can also use Staff of Domination (Banned as of 7/8/19: paradox engine) in conjunction with Selvala, infinite mana, Noxious Revival, and Regrowth and infinite mill your opponents. To do so you have to have Selvala and Staff of Domination (Banned as of 7/8/19: paradox engine), in play, with Regrowth and Revival in hand. You cast Regrowth to bring something back from the yard and use staff to untap Selvala. Cast Revival to place regrowth on top and use staff to untap Selvala. You never draw extra cards and your opponents draw one for each Selvala activation. Only Use this strategy if you've cast silence, or have Dosan the Falling Leaf or Grand Abolisher in play or as a last ditch effort to win because chances are without protection at least one of your opponents is going to draw into removal and stop the combo.

There is a lot of tutor in this deck to help find the combo pieces. A lot of the time your going to be using Stoneforge Mystic to grab mantle or greaves if need be. There's 9 tutors to go get creatures and 3 tutors to grab equipment/artifacts/enchantments.

You can also use Mirror Entity and Wirewood Symbiote as an untap outlet for a colorless and a green. YWith Entities and symbiote on the field, you activate entities ability for one changing all creatures to 1/1 elves. You use symbiotes ability to bonuce an elf, himself, now that hes an elf, to untap another creature. You can use this to untap Selvala and if you can create 2 green off each of here parley activations just keep the cycle going and untapping her and drawing cards. Also if you have Elvish Archdruid or Priest of Titania out with entity and symbiote, after his ability turns everything to elves, you can make infinite green mana because your creating 3 green, with 3 elves, and using 1 and a green to cast symbiote again and activate entity.

Edited for posterity: As of July 8, 2019 this interaction is no longer possible without the use of Paradox Engine in regards to the Regrowth/Noxious Revival/Selvala interaction. It's possible if you have enough mana dorks in play you can do this without first making infinite mana by netting positive mana on each Enginine trigger. Activate Selvala to parley and reveal and draw regrowth. Generate x amount of green mana from parley, each opponent draws a card, and untap all your nonland permanents. Repeat process until opponents are decked.
