Ever wondered what an entire horde of elves looks like?

As you've probably already guessed, this deck revolves around amassing Elf creature tokens. Lots of them.

First and foremost, this is achieved with cards such as Rhys the Redeemed and Imperious Perfect, which allow you to put tokens straight into play. Other cards like Elvish Mystic and Heritage Druid will give you that extra mana to play Growing Ranks and Parallel Lives early in the game, allowing you to begin amassing your army. By mid-game - or even earlier - you should have enough mana to begin using Rhys the Redeemed's second ability to literally double your creature tokens. With each copy of Parallel Lives in play, that amount increases even further.

Beyond that, Drove of Elves and Jagged-Scar Archers get bigger and nastier with each new addition to your army. Drove of Elves is a troll-shroud, preventing your opponents from destroying it, while Jagged-Scar Archers can deal with any large fliers.

Not good enough for you yet? Try getting Door of Destinies on the field as early as possible. Before you know it, your 1/1 Elf tokens are 10/10s - or larger. How about life-gaining? No worries. Every time Rhys the Exiled attacks, you gain 1 life for each and every elf you control - which by this point should be more than a few.

Got any suggestions for me? I'd be glad to hear any comments or critiques!

Updates Add

Quick update to the Maybeboard, and that's roughly it.

With the extra mana, the deck plays that much faster now. Can usually have four one-drop creatures on the field by the end of the second turn, which I'm pretty happy about.
