So my aim here is to create a fun elf tribal deck with a slightly unusual commander. Lots of elf ramp (of course!) and winning either through elf horde overrun or going infinite on Mayael's ability with Aggravated Assault / Staff of Domination and pulling out all my fatties. Ideally the fatties should have some synergy with the elf horde or perhaps comprise a beast sub-tribe to make use of contested cliffs. Sylvan Library and Sensei's Top allow topdeck manipulation, but more effects like these would probably be good too given the relatively low number of fatties I'm running.

I aim to build this on paper - so ridiculously expensive suggestions won't be very helpful. I have the majority of these cards already and those I don't but have listed in the mainboard aren't too pricey.

At the moment I have perhaps a few too few lands so advice on what cuts from the current decklist I should make to up the land count would be useful. I'm conscious that a lot of the creatures - particularly the elves - are just goodstuff I thought would be fun to use, so I definitely need to be more selective with those and cut the ones that don't contribute usefully to the overall deck strategy. More card draw perhaps, more interaction, making the best of the options available to me in Naya....yeah, it's all a bit of a pile at the moment! But I'm hoping it could be worked up into something enjoyable to play!
