Ok. So i started testing with this deck last night and did farely well, only losing one match to R/g burn deck from trials. My decklist is as follows.

2 Windswept Heath
3 Wooded Foothills
4 Breeding Pool
7 Forest
4 Temple Garden

3 Beacon of Creation
4 Oppostion
3 Orim's Chant
2 Static Orb
3 Counterspell

2 Scryb Ranger
3 Trygon Predator
4 Coiling Oracle
4 Wood Elves
4 Wirewood Symboite
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Birds of Paradise

SB

3 Krosan Grip
3 Tormods Crypt
3 Sun Droplets
3 Kataki's War Wage
3 Stifle

Any feedback and/or suggestions to the deck would be appreciated. I would like to run this at one of the upcoming PTQ's. I feel like the aggro match is a nightmare and would like to fix that, and i also dont know if white is the right splash, maybe black could be better. Help with the SB would be nice. THX

You should make another one of these threads for good measures.

The deck needs more "oomph". I see absolutely no smash face ability in the deck. To be honest, you really don't need the elf engine to pull the archetype off...especially considering the fact that the elf version of oppo gets shut the fuck down by counterbalance.

Here is my incredibly old build of the deck:

// Deck file for Magic Workstation (http://www.magicworkstation.com)
// NAME: Untitled Deck

// Lands
8 [10E] Forest (1)
3 [10E] Island (1)
1 [10E] Plains (1)
4 [RAV] Temple Garden
4 [DIS] Breeding Pool
4 [ON] Flooded Strand

// Creatures
4 [10E] Troll Ascetic
3 [RAV] Loxodon Hierarch
4 [CHK] Sakura-Tribe Elder
4 [9E] Wood Elves
3 [10E] Llanowar Elves
4 [10E] Birds of Paradise

// Spells
4 [7E] Opposition
4 [IN] Fact or Fiction
3 [DS] Sword of Fire and Ice
3 [FD] Beacon of Creation

// Sideboard
SB: 1 [RAV] Loxodon Hierarch
SB: 4 [DIS] Spell Snare
SB: 3 [10E] Naturalize
SB: 3 [TO] Morningtide
SB: 4 [SOK] Kataki, War's Wage

Not exactly optimal, but the deck is from before...timespiral by the looks of it. Have fun.

Chapin's original list is available on mtg.com actually. It was played at the invitational if I recall and is easily accessible.
