This is an upgrade for the commander 2014 preconstructed deck Guided by Nature. I kept with the elf tribal theme, and added my own cards that I think enhance the list and improve its gameplay. It is a pretty quick deck that focuses on big mana to knock out multiple opponents in one big swing.

The general strategy of the deck is to shove out as many elves as possible and then finish all your opponents out in one big swing with an Overrun effect. The best way to accomplish this is to rush out Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury as fast as possible to start creating more mana dorks. Then, we will likely use her ultimate as soon as possible to refill our hand that is nearing empty at this point. We also utilize Lifecrafter's Bestiary, Beast Whisperer, Fecundity, Vanquisher's Banner, Shamanic Revelation, and other similar cards to draw for all of the creatures that we are playing and generating to maintain a large hand size.

Another key win condition of this deck is to generate a ridiculous amount of mana to allow us to dump our hands every turn and just overwhelm our enemies with resources and card advantage. Cards that let us do this include Elvish Archdruid, Omnath, Locus of Mana, Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun, Priest of Titania, and our commander herself, Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury.

As far as our Overrun effects, they include Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Overwhelming Stampede, Thunderfoot Baloth, Triumph of the Hordes, Finale of Devastation, Pathbreaker Ibex, Eldrazi Monument, and Craterhoof Behemoth. Once we reach that critical mass of creatures, its GG if we can resolve one of those spells.

We also run a good amount of elf lords (Elvish Archdruid, Imperious Perfect, Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, Vanquisher's Banner, Elvish Champion, Eldrazi Monument, Coat of Arms, and Joraga Warcaller) to beef up all of our small elves. We also run Thunderfoot Baloth to serve as a super lord when we have Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury out on the battlefield.

Green is by far my favorite color and this deck is a blast to play. It performs very well in my playgroup (moderately powerful, if I had to say, we are at a 70% power level) and I would say it is my second most powerful deck. This deck is definitely not the best it can be, and I am always changing and modifying it as I come across additional cards, so feel free to leave suggestions or comments below.

The versions of these cards is specific to my collection, and some of them may cost significantly more than other versions. For example, I have the Invocation version of Rhonas the Indomitable which is much more expensive than the normal printing. This decklist can likely be found for less than tappedout has it listed as a result.
