Maybe instead of Genesis Wave you would consider either Sword of War and Peace or Angelic Destiny

Well, this build of elves almost NEEDS Genesis Wave , because it relies on the whole team attacking.

If I were running straight aggro I would consider running both

You are essentially running straight aggro though...you have all creatures in a G/w deck with zero way to interact with what your opponent is doing. I built i similar deck with the human tribe and let me tell you that from my experience, you NEED some way to disrupt their plans. Seeing as you are splashing white you could consider Oblivion Ring or even Terminus for your white interactions. I dunno really. The deck changes quite a bit when you have to start putting in a way to interact. Just depends on how reliably you can win without it. In my meta I simply have to interact with a Reanimator deck that is dropping an Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite on turn 4-5, or a humans deck that is swinging with a Mirran Crusader + Angelic Destiny on turn 3-4.

Just remembered that Pacifism got reprinted as well.

Terminus would honestly be a terrible addition. For a deck that wants to beat down with a horde of creatures, it's very counter-productive. When you talk about interaction, I think that is reserved for more reserved for midrange type decks. This deck want to win in turns 4-6, so opponent interaction seems a little bit useless.

I was looking at Kurt Crane's G/W elf wave deck for inspiration, and I like the addition of Gavony Ironwright and Soul of the Harvest . I'll be trying those out.

White seems to be the best secondary color by far.
