A more combo based elves deck than most modern lists I have seen floating around. Out of ten playtests without any goldfishing it went off on an average of turn four, though turn 3 wins are fairly common and turn 2 wins are possible. This is a noninteractive combo deck that is very fast and seeks to win before any real disruption can be played by its opponent.

The Combo: 3 Nettle Sentinels + 1 Heritage Druid lets you earn make 1 or 2 mana off of each 1 cmc or 2 cmc elf you play. This lets you play a large amount of elves early, whose mana lets you play Regal Force or Shamanic Revelation to refill your hand and continue dropping elves. Eventually, you can use a Breeding Pool or Prophetic Prism to play Laboratory Maniac and win by drawing out your deck. Summoner's Pact lets you find your combo pieces. Make sure to be careful about the number of elves you play or you can easily kill yourself by drawing too many cards off of Regal Force or Shamanic Revelation when laborotory maniac is still in the deck. You can also win off on shaman of pack.

A note: This deck started as a solitaire deck and it still is. It is weak to interaction but against decks without interaction it is almost guaranteed to be faster. It is meant more to be a fun deck to play with than anything else.
