Thanks for your input.

In my opinion Nath's Elite, Allosaurus Rider, Voice of the Woods, Titania's Chosen and Headless One aren't strong enough by far to be represented in such a deck.

Nath - I like as a second, and stronger, Taunting Elf. Has broken more than one stalemate.

Allosaurus Rider - included originally to add some beef, but I am not terribly attached to it.

Voice of the Woods - very much a "swing" card, but again I have no attachment to it.

Titania's Chosen - good as long as it stays in play for at least a couple of turns... it's those couple of turns sometimes...

Heedless One - X/X Trample... why don't you like it?

Eladamri, Lord of the Leaves (vs RG and other aggro-decks often a matchwinner)

Yes, but it renders other cards in the deck (Wirewood Lodge, Elvish Herder, Timberwatch Elf) useless. Privileged Position (present) is stronger and harder to remove.

Brass Herald (Card Advantage + Aggro)

Seems to me to be a worse Sylvan Messenger (which is already present), and its lingering effect is fragile as it is easily removed.

Kamahl, Fist of Krosa -> even better than Overrun
Fierce Empath -> Kamahl or Brass Herald

Agreed that Kamahl is Overrun on a stick, but (a) is not an Elf so it neither participates in, nor benefits from, any of the deck's Elf effects, (b) essentially is a 6GGGGG OR 2-turn Overrun, and (c) is easily removed.

If neither Kamahl nor Herald are present, then the Empath has even fewer targets to fetch.

Selesnya Guildmage > Golgari Guildmage

Golgari already present, and pulling its weight nicely. Best Black effect is to sac an Elf or Insect token. Considered Selesnya; without the white effect it's simply an expensive token producer... not necessarily bad, however... although I like the other token makers (there are 6 of them; 7 if you include Voice of the Woods) better.

Priest of Titania !!!

Why? Cards like this are often best for spells with X in the CC; the only one in this deck is Chord of Calling.

Roffelos !!!
Tribal Forcemage (Aggro)

Not bad... but I don't have any!

Slate of Ancestry (Cardadvantage)
Staff of Domination (Combo with Priest of Titania, Roffelos, Wirewood Channeler)
Coat of Arms !!!

All good suggestions... The staff is definitely good on its own, although I would not put it in purely for the hope of interacting with the creatures you indicate. The Slate and Coat are definitely in the "probably going in" category.

Skyshroud Proacher !!!

Excellent for sure... as soon as I get one...

and Jitte is banned!

Yikes! Ok it's outta there... and there's a slot for one of those other cards!

What the heck... here's another one I put together recently, and it shows definite promise...

Comments, suggestions? (Don't know why that stuff is underlined...)

lands: u shoud play flagstones, mutavault, mishras factory, wasteland, ghost quarter, kjeldoran outpost (alliances land)..

Flagstones - don't have any (yet), and how would it help? Mutavault - good card; I have three (2 in a T2 deck and 1 in another HL deck; will add it to this one as well). Similar for Ghost Quarter and Wasteland. I do not have K Outpost but it certainly would be appropriate here. OTOH, I don't want to pull too many Plains out because speed is important for this deck.

as for the rest, i´m not a huge fan of WW, but i´ll try to give a few pointers (from my knowledge..) tomorrow, because today, i wont be around..

Ok - looking forward to your other comments!

I have had some success with this:

A few thoughts...

1. There are only 38 creatures in here; as an aggro deck perhaps there should be 2-5 more? If so suggestions on inclusions and non-creature spells to remove? (like, maybe Jayemdae Tome; I also have a few other card-drawers and this one is awkward... although it has come in very handy a number of times...)

2. Land seems iffy. There are too many games with either mana screw OR mana flood; any way to smooth this out? Perhaps all Plains should be Snow and toss in a Scrying Sheets?

3. I am on the fence re: Hour of Reckoning (although it can be huge if the token generators have gotten going)... maybe swap it out for either another Soldier creature, or perhaps Nevinyrral's Disk?

Suggestions?
