Since I'm seeking feedback on this deck I thought I'd do a more in depth analysis on what it does and why I've chosen the cards in the list.

This is a mono-green Storm/Combo deck seeking to flood the field and over run the opposition. Ideally a large Genesis Wave will dump the entire deck into play but there are enough dorks in the deck that it can also storm off thanks to cards like Soul of the Harvest and Glimpse of Nature .

Leading the Army

Every army needs a general to lead it, this particular one just happens to have built in options.

Selvala

Due to the decks low mana count it often misses land drops, having a Commander that is capable of ramping helps to mitigate this problem. Another advantage is that with Selvala in the Command Zone the deck is never more than two cards away from being able to Genesis Wave for the entire deck or infinitely pump Elves off of Ezuri, Renegade Leader . The downside to Selvala is that it will more often than not be opponents that draw cards off of her ability.

Other options include:

• Dosan the Falling Leaf , great in a meta where blue runs rampant.

• Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury is a constant answer to artifacts and enchantments and can create massive amounts of card advantage and ramp.

• Nissa, Vastwood Seer   can help ensure land drops are hit and can become a ramp/card draw engine in the late game.

• Ezuri, Renegade Leader is the typical Elf deck commander providing protection against removal and board wipes while waiting for the opportune moment to strike with an army of buffed up trampling Elves.

Combos/Synergies

• Imperious Perfect ensures there is always fodder for Eldrazi Monument .

• Arbor Elf can be used in conjunction with Elvish Guidance to create another Priest of Titania effect.

• Umbral Mantle can be paired with Priest of Titania / Elvish Archdruid / Selvala, Heart of the Wilds / Karametra's Acolyte /Arbor Elf + Elvish Guidance to generate infinite mana.

• Genesis Wave or Ezuri, Renegade Leader can be used in conjunction with infinite mana to end the game on the spot.

• Temur Sabertooth with Soul of the Harvest , Selvala, Heart of the Wilds and either Concordant Crossroads or Lightning Greaves will let you draw the entire deck. Selvala can be replaced in this scenario with any dork capable of producing enough mana to bounce and recast itself in the same turn.

• Temur Sabertooth , Concordant Crossroads , Wirewood Hivemaster and any dork capable of producing enough mana to bounce and recast itself creates an army of infinite bugs.

• Elvish Champion and Song of the Dryads leaves an opponent wide open to the decks many Elves.

• Timberwatch Elf pairs with Cream of the Crop to dig deep in the deck, Garruk, Primal Hunter / Life's Legacy to draw more cards or Selvala to increase mana production.

• Cream of the Crop can be used with Soul of the Harvest , Primordial Sage or Glimpse of Nature to essentially repeatedly tutor from the top x cards of the deck.
