I think  {Descendants' Path} would be really good in here.

I'm not sold on {Gyre Sage} just yet, if it was a 0/1 it would be sweet. She just seems too big to be useful.

EDIT: Damn, Yeva's an Elf... Wow, this might be really good actually...

Also the biomancer helps the sage if you play it before or after.

Also you could turn this into a primal surge deck if you limited the amount of spells in there. If so I'd defs include craterhoof.

Also I use some {1} equip haste equipment for my elf deck to land more out and tap them straight away.

Also use {Staff of Nin} to increase your card draw and speed you up (meanwhile pinging off those annoying 1 cmc guys)

So yeah. Primal surge sideboard? :)

What is there in Standard? {Ring of Valkas}? For Haste Equipment I mean.

Yeah, that's the one I use at the moment. It used to also be {Swiftfoot Boots}

Mhmm good idea Wally...;)
Definitely I should make it more optional... Definitely could make a Primal surge sideboard...;) Staffs, Behemoth...

Only I am not sure about that ring... Haste is nice thing but now when half decks play Blind onedience...

I own playset of them, but it will not fit to this deck...;) Shaman is great card but this deck would not benefit from it...;)

Everyone laughs when I say it but  {Akroma's Memorial}. I consistently pop it off turn 4 with just an arbor elf and an archdruid. It stops 90% of kill spells, and when biomancer hits, your opponent crys. I also use  {Garruk, Primal Hunter} and  {Fungal Sprouting}, because it gets hilarious with biomancer.
