Its your standard Elves minus the Rally. I usually just run just Black/Green Elves however yesterday being (8/21/2015) I lost because I got mana flooded (this usually happened later in the game when opponents would have life-link or more creatures) whenever i need answers i only found land so this made me think what could I use to help me... Evolutionary Leap was my answer. I love this card however it leaves me open to any form of aggro. So what could i use to get the best benefit from Evolutionary Leap? Abzan Ascendancy... Abzan Ascendancy + Evolutionary Leap sac a creature get a spirit and another creature in hand. Sac a Spirit get a Creature beat your opponent.

Let me know what you think of this idea and any suggestions would be appreciated. If you like this Idea Check out my Mardu Goblin Build. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/09-08-15-mardu-goblins/

If you just wanna run your Black/Green elves i would recommend instead of the ascendancy replace with Palace Siege so you can get your creatures back without using Red
