This a Selvala deck that originally had a goal of playing elves and eventually swapping out the commander for Rhys the Redeemed. Along the way I fell in love with Selvala so she stayed as the captain of the helm.

The goal of this deck as a result is to play Wincons that revolve around Selvala's ability to get the only three things you need, card draw, mana, and life gain.

Often winning with a combination of two instants and her activated ability. Noxious Revival + Reclaim along with any other infinite untap outlet will allow you to win the game by milling out your opponents with Selvala while your library stays at the same amount of cards.

These combinations are mostly self explanatory but revolve around untapping in order to fuel mana production for more untaps.

Illusionist's Bracers + Seeker of Skybreak + Selvala, Explorer Returned

Seeker of Skybreak + Sword of the Paruns + Wirewood Channeler

Krosan Restorer + Seeker of Skybreak + Wirewood Lodge

Seeker of Skybreak + Umbral Mantle + Wirewood Channeler

Benefactor's Draught + Elder Druid + Isochron Scepter

For other Wincons there is general life gain based on elves with: Wellwisher, Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, and Nissa Revane. With lifegain wincons including: Felidar Sovereign, Aetherflux Reservoir, and Test of Endurance.

There is also stomping over the enemy with a vast number of enlarged creatures with: Joraga Warcaller, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Immaculate Magistrate, Nylea, God of the Hunt, and Overwhelming Stampede.

There is also a nasty little combo in the deck involving Greatbow Doyen + Jagged-Scar Archers that allows you the unique interaction of sniping a flyer and having it crash down on the opponent to kill them.
