This is an Edric Deck with a little more of a controlling edge and a little less beatdown. Elves to produce tons of mana which is used to play tons of weenies which are used to draw more weenies which can be played with the elf mana. And so forth. Generally, you'll win the game with an Overrun effect, like Craterhoof Behemoth. This is a very political deck; you want to have to dedicate as few resources as possible to defending yourself and, as a result, control spells should only be used protect your boardstate. We have a limited amount of counterspells and removal so we want to make each one count. Generally, keep people happy; counter threats to the whole board, play up that you're doing something because they're ahead or directly threatening you, spread your attacks across the whole table saying you just want to draw cards, etc. Then, when you're ready, swoop in and steal the game!
