Hey I am working on improving my deck making skills for various common types of decks (mill, beatdown, mana ramp, burn, and oh look ELVES) and I got to making an elf deck. I looked at all elves in the database and promptly freaked out. There are tons! So I want advice, where do I start? Good ideas? I do know I want to try to include {Garruk Wildspeaker} and {Helix Pinnacle}. Help!
{jorga treespeaker} obviously :) {elvIsh archdruid}
I've seen helix work in commander, and myr decks, it can definitely be used as a win condition for elves, but they rarely need one, I'd go for {emrakul, the eons torn} as my win condition,
{joraga warcaller} plus all the new cards that add +1/1 counters FTW
{lys Alana huntmaster} is nice for tokens and using {immaculate magistrate} for {jorga warcaller} not to mention if you have jorga treespeaker leveled up the tokens can produce mana
{Eladamri, Lord of Leaves}
If going down the token and/or Helix counter route, {Doubling Cube}, {Doubling Season}, {Parrallel Lives}.

I wish I could afford {doubling season} gah it would be awesome for my saproling deck
{Heedless One}

{doubling season} is so expensive cuz it doubles the amount of loyalty counters as PWs enter the BF
{Immaculate Magistrate}
{bramblewood paragon}, {talara's battalion}, and don't forget the {wirewood lodge}

Everyone says that when talking about an elf deck but really why bother when most elves are easily cast????

{overrun} with elves? {ezuri renegade leader} done!
Piper let's you play creatures that can't be countered at instant speed. They come if for the attack and you drop a {Heedless One} as a surprise.
