This is my elfball duel commander deck. I try to make it as fast as possible...

So there are no tapped land, I can't afford it, because I have to be really fast. This format with 30 life doesn't make it easy to play with small aggro creatures.

So there are some mana creatures Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves, Fyndhorn Elves, Arbor Elf, Heritage Druid, Birchlore Rangers, Boreal Druid, Priest of Titania, Bloom Tender, Quirion Elves, Elvish Archdruid - Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary isn't good, with that amount of nonforest lands and I don't need Devoted Druid for one shot extra mana and Joraga Treespeaker is overrated, because in turn two you got no extra mana...

Got some boost with Elvish Champion, Imperious Perfect - and for tokens as well, Wilt-Leaf Liege, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Mirror Entity - and some other still questionable like Adaptive Automaton - and planeswalkers Elspeth, Knight-Errant, Garruk Wildspeaker with overrun and Champion of Lambholt for unblockable attacks and Beastmaster Ascension and Curse of Predation as well - Crescendo of War is questionable.

Need protection against mass destruction like Caller of the Beasts, Dauntless Escort, Rootborn Defense, Fresh Meat

Search effects - Skyshroud Poacher, Wirewood Herald - after mass destruction you can get instant Caller of the Beasts - , Elvish Harbinger, Eladamri's Call, Green Sun's Zenith, Chord of Calling and Stoneforge Mystic and Enlightened Tutor for infinite combo.

Infinite combo means Priest of Titania or Elvish Archdruid + Staff of Domination or Umbral Mantle

Spot removals for creatures like Swords to Plowshares - Path to Exile not good enough, cause extra land usually mean that my opponent can cast his or her commander again in next turn... - Crib Swap which can be searched by Elvish Harbinger and some other; for artifact/enchantment Reclamation Sage, Viridian Shaman, Viridian Zealot, Aura Shards and some more; and for permanent Council's Judgment - Beast Within could be dangerous, because a 3/3 beast is almost bigger than anything in my deck...

Some othe protection like Gaddock Teeg especially against mass destruction like Damnation and Wrath of God and mass land destruction with Armageddon - I'd need a Ravages of War but little bit too expensive - and with mana creatures I don't care about lands; Aven Mindcensor.

One more thing what I really like is Ankh of Mishra, it can help to finish an opponent, when the aggro moves stop.

This deck is really good against control decks, because it is faster, than any blue counter based deck and usually I can overgrow a creature based deck as well. The main problem is burn, this deck is almost absolutley dead against Marath, Will of the Wild and really dark black decks with tonnes of destructions can also stop me and sometimes hard to interact with combo decks.
