This deck is version 2 of my Galadriel precon upgrade. I have elsewhere an Elrond Elf Tribal that is simple and fun. In that deck you get to see numbers get bigger, and there is lots of defensive protection, but I felt like it was not engaging in the most fun mechanics available.

Here, I wanted to lean into the new scrying elves in a way I didn't think was possible till I saw this version of Galardiel.

I think the deck works, but I haven't got to really test it yet. As of writing this I have to go purchase a few cards. I was hoping to get some input as I have been largely out of EDH for a while. Some issues- do I have enough protection? Are the creatures and abilities I have currently sufficient for real win cons? - I am concerned that this requires a big board presence to win.

Should I take out Realm Seekers for Body of Research? difference is that RS can be played from Library from Chord of Calling, AND Genesis wave, Whereas Body of research can't. However, RS is likely to produce something like a 12-15 creature whereas Body of Research will create a minimum of a 5050 or so.

One hard thing in piloting this deck is knowing when to let a good card go because you want to get a land instead. If you playtest it you may see (note, the playtest doesn't scry before drawing so when you click next turn you have to pay attention if you have an upkeep trigger)
