Joraga Warcaller and Immaculate magistrate work together perfectly because the +1/+1 counters splash onto all other creatures my deck can produce to make freakishly strong elves and high life gain at a quick pace. Usually by turn 4 I have a minimum of 3-4 elves on the field and roughly 6-7 mana available to me through either creature abilities or lands. As I cast creature spells and produce elves, essence warden gives me a healthy life bump and can help make up for any possible hiccups while getting a foothold. With wellwisher on the field I can easily break 50-100 life in only a few turns. Jagged scar archer is a great help against defense for flying since it can indirectly deal damage to any flying creature equal the number of elves you control, since the number of elves you control is always equal to it's power and toughness it also helps against large creatures on the opponent's field. Instill energy can assist any one of these tapping activated creature abilities to either create very large amounts of life or a field of freakishly powered up elves and 1/1 elf token creatures.

Nissa can help keep life up and a base of elf creatures on the field to enhance my elves activated abilities, but once I'm able to activate her main ability the game is pretty much over since I can call upon every ability combo in my deck. I'm considering adding one more llanowar elves and one wellwisher to replace the essence wardens to promote more chance for a quick mana start and higher life gain overall. However, the nice thing about essence warden is that I also gain life for my opponent's creatures entering the field as well. Rhys the Redeemed is also another creature that's been on my wishlist for this deck, among a few other prominent elf cards that were simply outside my budget when initially creating the deck. Dunno why I didn't think of it til just now.. but I could probably use some non-basic green mana producing lands for some extra at the start.
