Battle Elf deck, have a lot of pride at stake here to make a good Elf tribal deck. Its an all permanent deck except for a single Primal Surge, so if I draw Primal Surge I get an instant win. Also has the win combo of Elvish Archdruid and Staff of Domination, giving me an infinite Mana, Health, Tap, Untap, and Draw Card combo. I'm running Asceticism to help against removal, which currently I'm weak against. The mana sink is Joraga Warcaller, so with Staff of Domination's combo I can make all of my creatures infinity/infinity and trample with Ezuri. Also am running one Emrakul, the Aeons Torn for tutoring up late game with Fauna Shaman. Looking for suggestions, see the updates and card descriptions allow for more detaill!

-Arbor Elf, Elvish Mystic, and Llanowar Elves provide elves on the field and early game ramp.

-Asceticism provides removal invulnerability, except against wipes. Also provides regeneration if a key creature is burned.

-Cavern of Souls provides counter protection

-Elvish Archdruid provides INSANE mana ramp, and the +1/+1 is nice. Also is used for the Elvish Archdruid+Staff of Domination infinite combo.

-Emrakul, the Aeons Torn provides a large, tutorable (with Fauna Shaman), unbeatable, mana sink. If they havn't lost by the time I can bring him out, it's gg no re. Provides immunity to graveyard mill, and makes Primal Surge and the Infinite Combo insta wins, because I take an extra turn so they can't boardwipe.

-Ezuri, Renegade Leader provides trample and is a wincon in itself. The regeneration for 1 can be VERY useful.

-Fauna Shaman provides much needed tutoring for this very combo oriented deck, allows me to bring up 1 or 2 Elvish Archdruid's, a late game Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, or even an Elvish Mystic if I'm stuck!

-Garruk, Caller of Beasts gives crazy hand refreshing in this 34 creature deck.

-Immaculate Magistrate allows me to boost my key creatures past burn range, allows for instant-speed buffing, and lets me buff the creature they didn't block for massive damage. Also lets me make my creatures infinity/infinity with the Staff of Domination combo.

-Joraga Warcaller gives me a nice big mana sink, also allows for infinity/infinity creatures with the Staff of Domination combo.

- Nissa Revane and Nissa's Chosen give elves on the field, massive lifegain, and a win con in Nissa Revane's ultimate.

-Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx gives me another massive mana producer, even better than Elvish Archdruid. The devotion in this deck routinely reaches 20+ by the end of the game, provided I don't win through the Infinite Combo.

-Primal Surge gives me a quick, easy, and unexpected win con in this all-permanents deck. Drop Emrakul, take a second turn, swing out for game.

-Staff of Domination, last but certainly not least, is the heart and soul of this deck. It gives me a very easy, T4 infinite combo through it and Elvish Archdruid. It works thus; tap Elvish Archdruid for 5 (or more), then untap it with the Staff. 2 mana left over. Spend 1 more mana untapping the staff. 1 mana left over as a product, and can be repeated indefinately. This lets me abuse the rest of the staff, including infinite Mana, Life, Tap, Untap, and Card Draw, letting me draw my whole library and play it.

- Jagged-Scar Archers gives me flying protection, as well as a nice big creature for 3 mana.

Some Neccesary Changes — March 10, 2014

Edit

After a lot of playing this deck, I've decided that I need to make it more consistent. So, as I get the cards, there's a few things I'm going to add.

-Fyndhorn Elves to replace my Arbor Elves as Arbor Elves can't untap Cavern of Souls, and with only 8 forests I wont always have one out.

-Karn Liberated some great removal without adding any non permanents, plenty enough mana ramp to get to 7 without an issue.

-Ezuri's Archers some more reliable, lower cost flying protection than Jagged-Scar Archers.

-Ranger's Guile even though I'm making an all permanent build, sometimes it just doesn't work. Adding in this will help me save my Elvish Archdruid, Joraga Warcaller, or Ezuri, Renegade Leader in a pinch!
