Probably the most competitive deck I've made to date. Extremely fast, relatively resilient and full of heaps of utility.

This deck is extremely linear most of the time, assuming people do not interact very much.

The ideal opening hand is to be able to get Yisan out turn 2 at the very latest, and as such the deck runs a number of 1 drop mana dorks. Once Yisan is out, the creatures he tutors for are extremely straight forward.

First Creature: Quirion ranger or Wirewood Symbiote, in order to untap Yisan and get additional tutors. Wirewood Symbiote and Quirion down at the same time are a fantastic combination that can net you many, many more untaps and activations depending on the mana you have open.

Second Creature:9/10 it will be Priest of Titania as you have a large amount of elves in the deck and chances that an elf is down already are generally pretty high. However, if you have a heap of creatures out by the time you get to you 2 drop, it might be worth getting the Voyaging Satyr if you have or can tutor out Gaea's Cradle.

Third Creature: Depending on your mana situation, or the board state you would either get out Elvish Archdruid, for more mana and to make your other elves a bit more resilient, or Shaman of Forgotten Ways to just murder everyone with Biorhythm.

Fourth Creature:Either Yeva so you can flash threats in at end of turn if you have a hand full of anything that isn't forests, or Karametra's Acolyte for more dank mana.

Fifth Creature:If the table lets you get to this point, it's very difficult for you to not just win on your next turn, because the creature you're getting is Seedborn Muse and the shenanigans that card enables are obscene. It allows you to untap and activate Yisan on everyone's turns and basically, by the time it comes around to you, you are 8 counters and dropping a Craterhoof and winning. If someone has murdered your seedborn, or you just want to be a dick and murder something you can also grab an Acidic Slime.

Sixth Creature:Depending on how much mana you have available and the state of the board, the 6th creature is also a winpoint, as you can tutor out Kamahl, Fist of Krosa and just overrun like 50 times to murder the table with your mana dorks.

Seventh Creature:Generally, the go-to creature at the 7drop range is Regal Force as it will draw you a sizable portion of your deck. However if you are on the backfoot, or just want your Craterhoof to be bigger, you can also grab a Hornet Queen as the tokens are fantastic defenders and as fliers they can get around a lot of defenses.

Eighth Creature:Craterhoof. Lay down the bad-touch and win 9/10 unless someone wants to be a dick and fog.

Ways to get infinite mana and other infinite shit:

Priest of Titania + 3 other elves + Umbral Mantle

Priest of Titania + 3 other elves + Staff of Domination

Priest of Titania + 4 other elves + Thousand-Year Elixir + Temur Sabretooth

Elvish Archdruid + 3 other elves + Umbral Mantle

Elvish Archdruid +3 other elves + Staff of Domination

Elvish Archdruid + 5 other elves + Thousand-Year Elixir + Temur Sabertooth

Staff of Domination + Argothian Elder + Wirewood Lodge + Gaea's Cradle + Priest of Titania/Karametra's Acolyte/Elvish Archdruid

Others too probably, but I'm braindead at the moment.
