I really wanted to make a deck with the elves we currently have available in standard, so I did my best. The idea is to flood the board with all of your elves, attack with them, and use spells like Shaman of the Pack and Might of the Masses to finish off your opponent. Watch out for Languish and Radiant Flames because both cards can completely shut down this deck. A lot of times your opponent will go from alive with about 15 life to dead over the course of one turn. Here's what you really want to happen with this deck:

Turn 1 - Swamp and Gnarlroot Trapper

Turn 2 - Forest and Leaf Gilder or Beastcaller Savant

Turn 3 - any land and Sylvan Messenger or Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen

Beyond turn 3 you should just play as many elves as possible. Dwynen's Elite is great at flooding the board. Once you have a good number of creatures in play, finish your opponent off with a Shaman of the Pack and Might of the Masses. Good luck and have fun.
