Description of deck by William Spaniels (quoted):
I came up with the deck, but it's hardly original. It's elf aggro, with white for answers because I didn't think that black gave it much.

You have good aggro matchups since your creatures are generally cheap and large. Wren's Run Vanquisher is an amazing two drop, and the eight elves that act as Glorious Anthems work to make sure your creatures are bigger then theirs. Elvish Champion giving elves forestwalk is an absolute beating against anything with Forests.

Between Saffi, Garruk and Masked Admirers, board-sweeping effects aren't too much of a problem. Against control decks that just try and kill creatures, you have a strong game using all of your card advantage. I thought the deck would be weak against Pickles, Teachings and Tarmorack, because all you were doing was laying creatures while they had a trickier game plan. I built my sideboard with that in mind. In actuality, your creatures are so cheap and do so much damage that you have a decent match. My only loss was to RB Goblin…control? I'm not sure, but he played no early drops and decimated me with maindeck Molten Disaster, killing all my elves and leaving me with one land as he played multiple Siege-Gang Commanders. I died with seven cards in hand against him.
