I suggest side boarding a Bellowing Tanglewurm for obvious reasons.

In your comment with the three turn combo thing,..., you can't tap creatures on the turn you play them. You wouldn't really be able to do all of the things that you said until turn 4 or 5. Although the card draw from things like Glimpse of Nature could come in handy. But what should i swap for that?

Wellwisher is a great card to have in an elf deck and Yeva, Nature's Herald is another great one to have, as it will give anything else flash once she is out. Most good elf decks only run 15-17 mana, so you could drop your mana count since you are running Elvish Archdruid , Llanowar Elves and Arbor Elf . M14 is coming out with a new version of Llanowar Elves called Elvish Mystic, which would give you more mana options and let you add more creatures.

Mate, I've played your deck against mine ( El-Fun ) and it won 1 game in 7 ( only won because of the forest walk). It is too slow and easy to counter. Please review it.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not your enemy, nor am saying anything bad about you or your deck, it just that agains other modern elf decks it is not really effective without forestwalk or other evasive mechanics

You could try to take Lys Alana Huntmaster and Nissa's Chosen out of the deck and put a Elvish Mystic to generate more mana, and some green card to buy more cards. Those suggestions are agains't other elf decks, wich are suposed to be a fast aggro kind. Don't get upset, please, if i was not trying to help you i would not even had commented.
And about evasive mechanics; i'll look into those for you, give me some time and i'll bring some good stuff :P

And i've been reading some of the comments, you do can tap Heritage Druid on the turn you play it if you have 2 other elfs to tap with him/her, it's not haste related, it taps creatures as an ability, you can read about that on forums and stuff, Birchlore Rangers is another example of that.

well thanx. Lys Alana can definitely go-i don't even actually have it lol, but ill have to think about nissa's chosen. And i'll try to get my hands on an Elvish Mystic

ooh just thought of a disadvantage of d.o.d.: it doesn't affect tokens. :(

meme97, i have thought about your suggestions and have decided to make a few adjustments. i am planning on completely remodeling my sideboard, to make the deck much faster when necessary.these cards are the main ones for speed, i think:Heritage Druid Priest of Titania Nettle Sentinel Regal Force Elvish Visionary Elvish Archdruid Regal Force Glimpse of Nature Lys Alana Huntmaster Staff of Domination

@carysh you most definitly can tap creatures the turn that they come out. you just can't use the tap symbol right away.
So while cards like Llanowar Elves can't use their ability the same turn that they come into play because those abilities use the tap symbol(that arrow you see next to the ability), cards like Heritage Druid most definitely can use their ability the same turn they come into play

Perhaps Gyre Sage ? It synergizes pretty well with Immaculate Magistrate and lots of elves.

but the evolve aspect is basically useless, so it won't really be that helpful. Thanks for the suggestion though! :D

you can't tap Heritage Druid on the turn you play it. Also this combo requires a lot of specific cards. No doubt your idea works fairly well, but it is a completely different deck than this. I encourage you to playtest this deck a few times.Here is the way I usually like to go: turn 1: Arbor Elf turn 2: tap Arbor Elf and Forest , play Forest , play Elvish Archdruid .turn 3: play Llanowar Elves , play Forest , play Imperious Perfect or Elvish Champion w/ 2 Forest s and Arbor Elf , tap Elvish Archdruid , play Coat of Arms .turn 4: play whatever and swing for like 50+ damage...
