Elvish Visionary, Beck and Chord of Calling give you more cards and therefore make it more likely for you to assemble your combo. Heritage Druid will also allow you to ramp like crazy, and he's much faster than Joraga Treespeaker. Nettle Sentinel also works great in any elf deck.

As for what to take out, Wren's Run Vanquisher and looks somewhat clunky, and having 4x Elvish Champion does almost nothing if the opponent doesn't have a forest. I'd recommend cutting it to 1 or 2 in the main.

Thanks for the ideas Darcis I like the Elvish Visionary and Nettle Sentinel unfortunately Heritage Druid is outta my price range... I can't believe that it is now $20! What do you the on the new lord from Origins? Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen

Deck has been updated. Let me know what you think. If I fall into some Heritage Druids then they will replace the Joraga Treespeakers

I like it :P it's a pretty cool gimmick deck! I think it'd be pretty easy to shut down in competitive because of plenty of creature and board state controls, however it's cool :)

If you're looking for the combo route on elves, I'd seriously recommend trying a Cloudstone Curio build for competitive combo elves :P

As you have intruder alarm you may want to consider Dryad Arbor + Squirrel Nest

Hmmm I'd never considered that interesting idea

Hey icehit6 I looked into the Cloudstone Curio idea and it almost looks more vonurable then the Intruder Alarm combo. Also how come most of those decks arn't running Collected Company? I realize that it's legacy but still... I'm looking to add 2x -3x Elvish Harbinger to smooth out getting the Imperious Perfect when I need it and it also fixes the Blue mana if needed

Ur gonna need that haste!! What about Lightning Greaves?

I don't view haste as all that necessary... if I need it I'd use Mass Hysteria as the Lightning Greaves only gives to one guy... Ty for the suggestion though.

take out the becks and put in Shaman of the Pack just put in Overgrown Tomb to fetch out since u are using breeding pool for alarm. plus they can be hit with collected and do major damage

Nature's Claim is much better than back to nature in my opinion. It's not a boardwipe, but it is much more versatile and the lifegain can be pretty relevant against fair decks.

I would also consider mainboarding at least 2x Chord of Calling though I don't know what you would take out since I don't play Elves.treevore also has a really good suggestion in adding black for Shaman of the Pack, plus it would give access to hand disruption like Thoughtseize or Inquisition of Kozilek.

Also, Coiling Oracle is a pretty solid non-elf card in U/G.

Auctually trollin566 Coiling Oracle is an elf. I thought about it but I'm afraid I don't have enough blue sources to support another set of blue cards... what would you suggest replacing with them? I also like the Shaman of the Pack I'm just leary of all the life loss to my own lands... I will play test the different ideas you and treevore gave me. Though with Nature's Claim isn't your opponent that gains the life not me?

I apologize. I did misread Nature's Claim. As far as the life loss from your own lands, I don't think it's that huge of a problem. Seeing Essence warden can help mitigate some of the life loss, Maybe cut 1-2 Breeding Pool in favor of Overgrown Tomb since you really only need the blue mana for Intruder Alarm.
