Lujotheganker, thanks for the upvote. Heroic Intervention is a good suggestion. What would you cut for it?
depthcharge2, unfortunately Lathril, Blade of the Elves isn't Standard legal. She's in Kaldheim Commander set which is a separate set with new cards that are not in the main Kaldheim set. New cards in Kaldheim Commander aren't Standard legal. In each of the two Kaldheim Commander precons there are cards from the main Kaldheim set such as Skemfar Shadowsage and those cards are Standard legal.

Lead the Stampede seems like a fun inclusion. For some reason I haven't seen that anywhere else (totally forgot it was Standard legal).
Have you considered Wildwood Tracker as an aggressive 1-drop? It should be an upgrade to Skyway Sniper and/or Tajuru Blightblade .

It blow my mind that you have none of the actually good elf cards like Harald Unites the Elves. and instead run only a lack luster set of Lead the Stampede and all creatures.

MrBoombastic, Wildwood Tracker is fine, but I don't think it's better than Tajuru Blightblade 's deathtouch. He could for sure replace Skyway Sniper who I've cut for Toski, Bearer of Secrets . Tracker could also replace Jaspera Sentinel if you want to go more aggressive, but I like the ramp that Sentinel can provide especially to put more counters on Perserver tapping the Elf that triggered him after it ETB.
Geimhreadh22? Because I'm not playing Harald Unites the Elves than that means I'm not playing any of the good Elf cards? What kind of logic is this? You haven't played with Elvish Warmaster yet? Why would I not play more creatures than anything else with Elves? Since the beginning of Elf decks in Magic and still today they're all creatures because you need Elves on the battlefield for the tribal synergy.
Harald Unites the Elves is a trap card, it's too slow and you need a board presence. It's good when everything is in place (Elves on the battlefield and an Elf/Tyvar and/or mill an Elf/Tyvar in grave). As a turn three four drop it consistently does nothing for four mana if I don't mill an Elf/Tyvar in top three cards. Unites is too much of a gamble when cast early and I don't like that. Playing 4x Tyvar would help to make it more consistent in milling him, but I'm not playing 4x Tyvar for budget reasons.
Have you played Lead the Stampede with creature strategies? It's most definitely not lackluster and in fact is played in all Pauper Elf decks and some budget Modern Elf decks as Collected Company replacement. Tall order to replace Company and Lead can do it. Lead is good early game, mid/late game. Unites is not good early game, fine mid game and best late game. Lead is more consistent at giving me value at all three times of the game.
Toski, Bearer of Secrets has been added main deck, he's over preformed and is a better four drop mid/late game for Elves than Unites. He also wants a board presence, but with Elves I can get a lot more value quicker for four mana and Lead can potentially find him.

Will you be updating this deck with the ban to Faceless Haven?

This is one of the coolest deck pages on this site! Love how the text changes when you hover the tabs! Really cool to see all the variations over time!
