I am new to Magic, and to deckbuilding, so I dont quite know all of the cards, so any comments and/or suggestions would be welcome....
This is some kind of MonoGreen, and it worked pretty well, but not so well that it doesnt need improvment, iI think...

tarmogoyf is one of the best green 2drops in the format. and to all those who have different opinions i really dont care thats what i think about the card. birds and giant solifuge are pretty good too.

is there any format you would like to play in?
I can make a few suggestions but have to be given a little context first.

I really recomend Tarmogoyf. Call of the Herd is very good card too is ONE card that gives TWO creatures.
Your sideboard... What's your meta dude ? I dont like it at all

Quirion Dryad would love to have a word or two with Tarmogoyf, but she's too busy winning tournaments in Vintage

ur deck is starting out reel good. but a few adgustments can be mad. Elvish berserker is a real powerhouse in 1.x because he's hard to block good. also they have joiner adept thats better than llawnware elfs because all creatures make ANY mana. that would make ur deck a TON faster and give u a good creature to hit with. I would take out ravenus balot because why would u wanna sake a criter =for life rather than hit hard? he's just a 4 mana 4/4 thats no good. also, my friend had a good creatur deck that beat me every time till i put in chameleon blur and i always win now. Well wisher is a nother good card for you, cuz it will gave u a ton of life to gain. LOL if u play another elf deck u will be at like 300 easy!

God help everyone if you are serious Grandpuba. honestly, don't listen to a thing he said. I definately think the deck looks at least relevant, just a couple of things i would change:

Take out imperiosaur, you can't accelerate into him, therefore he is useless as a 4 mana 5/5

Add Beacon of Creation, that card is the nut-high when you have a lot of forests, it is a great late-game card and gives you an even faster win.

Take out Sakura-Tribe Elder, he is too slow for the deck, you could probably find a better guy to replace him with, something that hits for alot more damage or even a spell that helps you win *cough* Stonewood Invocation *cough*.

Otherwise, the deck is looking ok, you should test against other decks to see what you need in your sideboard. (btw, compost draws you so many cards vs. Dredge it isn't funny) Good luck!
