This is an Elf deck. It runs Elves. It plays Elves. It Turns Elves sideways. You know what they say about play with Elves, right? Fast and loose. This is not a deck you want to play if you like long games, because usually you've got it and sometimes you don't. You are either the faceroller or the facerollee, primarily the former. One of the reasons I built this deck was because I wanted to switch it up from all my control-y and midrange-y tendancies and make a different kind of deck. It does have tricks of its own though, with multiple tutors and even an awesome uncounterable tutor in Skyshroud Poacher. Make no mistake, this is a balls-out aggro deck but it does require the ability to do math. Most importantly, this deck was cheap to build.
It's an elf deck, usually the synergies involve just being an elf but there are others.
Creatures Talara's Battalion- a 4/3 for 1G is nothing to sneeze at but in this deck it seems like a win-more card. Maybe I've just been spoiled by all the other creatures that are basically glorified spells nowadays but I desperately wish I had something good to replace it.
Artfacts Slate of Ancestry- Card draw is great but I don't know if it's worth it or not since I don't think I've actually ever drawn it.
Well unfortunately I don't have the budget for a Cradle otherwise it would definitely be in there.The token spells are just there as more elves for cheap, which is always a good thing. I will, however, try out those sweeper killers. They should be awesome with Coat of Arms if I'm lucky.

Now, where is you Gaea's Cradle? It really is that good.
Two cards I don't understand is Hunting Traid, and Gilt-Leaf Ambush. They don't seem that great. In return, I recommend Fresh Meat and Caller of the Claw, because wrathers gonna wrath.
Adaptive Automaton ins't exactly an elf, but you can never have enough lords, can you? Also, Parallel Lives (or Doubling Season, if you have it).
Pauper: UR some horrible homebrew izzet deck
