So. I love elves. From D&D to anything and everything else, Elves are what I tend to gravitate towards. I am especially fond of elven casters, so I wanted to work that flavor into my deck. After many incarnations, I finally found a general I like. Nath of the Gilt-Leaf.
I might try the Asceticism, if I can find a copy around here. We play a bit more casually than most, and I despise blanket invincibility like that without purpose. Plus, Eldrazi are the devil. Can't devote Mikaeus, since he belongs to my zombies. I did get a couple of new elves and am testing them out now.

I used to have an elf deck I played casually. All I did was abuse draw and ramp to dump most of my deck. It wasn't EDH but most of the interactions probably still hold true. Quirion Ranger + pretty much any mana elf that taps for more than 1 mana = profit. Even better if you missed a land drop Priest of Titania because its fun dumping your hand Skullclamp Because all those 1/1s are just DYING to draw you 2 cards Caller of the Claw Because Wrath of god sucks Living Death could be funny post board wipe Primal Surge seems like it would be hilarious in your deck, since you only have 10 non-permanents Genesis Wave because you need something to do with that 50 mana Craterhoof Behemoth Also seems like he'd be good with the whole elf swarm/pump idea Mana Reflection or Caged sun would be good too

I've actually removed a great deal of this. Between Rofellos and Archdruid, I have a great deal of creature based mana. Plus, it ramps really well for me. Priest of Titania because its fun dumping your hand
I'm currently searching for one of these. Some of these elves are tough to find in my area, and I'm not up to buying them online right now, especially for casual play. Skullclamp Because all those 1/1s are just DYING to draw you 2 cards
Meh. I've thought about it, but I prefer the blocking to the draw most of the time. Caller of the Claw Because Wrath of god sucks
Duly noted. This card would be a godsend right now. Living Death could be funny post board wipe
LOL! Added to my list of things to find as well. Thanks for this one. May have to adjust my mana base though... Primal Surge seems like it would be hilarious in your deck, since you only have 10 non-permanents
I've thought about it, but decided to put it in my Mimeoplasm deck instead. That one is just full of silly big creatures that have ridiculous effects. Genesis Wave because you need something to do with that 50 mana
On my list of things to find. One I intended to play, but pulled Green Sun's Zenith instead, so I used it. Craterhoof Behemoth Also seems like he'd be good with the whole elf swarm/pump idea
Also in my Mimeoplasm. I'm trying to keep it tribal too. The only exception I've made thus far is the Rebel, because he brings elves out of the deck. Mana Reflection or Caged sun would be good too
I've considered Mana Reflection. It just doesn't seem too pointful with all the ramp and generation I already have.
Thanks for the suggestions. That Caller of the Claw I'd never seen before...
