This is my budget modern elves. If you have any suggestion please help. Understand I have limited funds so keep it cheap.

He said cheap.... 8$ is kinda borderline expensive.

Hey man i like the deck but i think it could do with some more lands. 20 may not be enough in some situations. Just my opinion though.

Lemme rephrase. What is the guys budget, how much is he willing to go over that limit and how does he want to win? 
Elves run 16-17 lands, running 20 is too high for the count.
Craterhoof behemoth in the greatest win con for monogreen budget elves. If you're going above budget, {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}.

Hmm didnt know about that land thing but yes you're right knowing the budget would help.

I actually have very little money. I am basing this deck on cards that I know people will trade or cards that I already have. I might add a craterhoof just because it is a fairly new card so people will have it. But something like an Emarkrul or an older card that is expensive I'm going to have to leave out. My local where I trade and such is mostly standard so getting older cards is hard to do. But anything from newer set is fairly easy to get especially if they are cheap cards. So a good reference is 1-2 of keep under $7. 3-4 of keep under $2. And if they are older expensive cards its best to not mention them because I'd have to buy them online which is a pain.

Edit: This is fancy way for saying I'm broke but I can trade for standard stuff easily.

You can always trade on imtg for older cards if you got a binder up.
