 {Imperious Perfect} creates elf tokens.  {Lys Alana Huntmaster} will double those tokens.  {Elvish Guidance} will produce mana per elf you have on the field. This has proven to be a nasty combo while I've been tooling my hydra/elf deck. {Priest of Titania} does the same thing if you'd like another elf.

I'm looking to make it counters and mana gain. What should be cut.
