1) Goblins
2) Academy
3) Dredge-a-Tog
4) Prosperous Bloom
5) Necro
6) Workshop/MUD
7) Ghost Husk
8) Ghazi Glare
9) Zombies
My favorite Magic cards are (in order):
1) Tolarian Academy
2) Psychatog
3) Goblin Lackey
4) Goblin Welder
5) Necropotence
6) Mind Over Matter
7) Sundering Titan
8) Braingeyser
9) Squandered Resources
10) Metalworker.
Here's a read that will change your life and the way you play games: Playing to Win by David Sirlin (one of the designers behind Street Fighter).
Also, be sure to check out my folders page for information regarding older decks. I've been working on creating an extensive archive of decks from various Pro Tour Top 8s and explanations for certain cards.

This definitely goes infinite with something, right? This is like Pestermite with half of the Splinter Twin already built in. You can probably do something silly with Heritage Druid, Glimpse of Nature, and Arcane Adaptation. Then do something with Raise the Palisade to act like a Paradoxical Outcome combined with Wrath of God.

Even in Limited, the baseline for what's considered "playable" has gone up. On one hand, there are a lot more playables in current sets than there were in formats like Dragon's Maze or Urza's Saga. On the other, the days of Savannah Lions, Jackal Pup, and Watchwolf are gone. And in Constructed formats, even a "vanilla" 3/4 for is venturing into unplayable territory.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next Watchwolf-tier card is a vanilla 3/3 (or better) for .

Just proxy up the following and play it against the person in question:
...and swap out 1x Boseiju, Who Endures, 1x Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, 1x Dark Depths, one copy of something that doesn't do anything against the person (i.e. cut Bojuka Bog if they don't have graveyard strategies), and put in 4x Strip Mine.
They'll understand why Strip Mine is broken once you lock them out under Sphere of Resistance and Life from the Loam.

#1@Icbrgr: Summoner's Pact because you can often win the turn you would want to cast it. I'd also back it up with 3~4 Lead the Stampede. I've found Collected Company and other stuff that dumps elves into play just not worth it when you're only getting 1 and 2 CMC dorks.
I've played elves in Modern before:
U/G C-c-c-combo Elves!

My conclusion wasn't speed or consistency, but just how badly you lose to any deck with red in it. Lightning Bolt on Elvish Archdruid on turn two ends the game. Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer flipping a mana dork for them to cast ends the game. Wrenn and Six sniping a creature each turn ends the game. And God have mercy on you if your opponent casts a Pyroclasm or Anger of the Gods or Kozilek's Return.
The good news is Fury was banned. The bad news is not much else has changed. Priest of Titania is still going to die to burn spells and there's nothing to be done about it.
tl;dr--only play elves if your meta has no red decks.
