This is my new take on elves. I want to make it competitive, and budget. Which is hard to do. I really don't like the traditional combo elves that everyone plays, so I made one that's a little different. Any advice would really help. A sideboard would be nice to if there's any input on that.
Lands: 16
{Forest} x 10
{Boseiju, Who Shelters All} x 2
{Wirewood Lodge} x 4

Creatures: 31
{Llanowar Elves} x 4
{Fyndhorn Elves} x 4
{Elvish Mystic} x 4
{Elvish Visionary} x 4
{Eternal Witness} x 2
{Elvish Archdruid} x 4
{Priest of Titania} x 4
{Craterhoof Behemoth} x 2
{Regal Force} x 2
{Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} x 1

Sorceries: 12
{Genesis Wave} x 4
{Green Sun's Zenith} x 4
{Tooth and Nail} x 4

Enchantment: 1
{Concordant Crossroads} x 1

Again, any help is appreciated. I know the hotspot for combo is turn 4 for legacy, mine hits 5 consistently. I know there are ways to speed it up but they're prett expensive ($).
Also, I've been having trouble because of the amount of card draw. I've been decking myself when {Regal Force} comes into play after a {Genesis Wave}. Any ideas on how to stop that?

Casual / Unexpected Emrakul

 {Island} 10
{Forest} 10
{unexpected results} 4
{see beyond} 4
{tooth and nail} 4
{personal tutor} 2
{show and tell} 1
{gilded lotus} 3
{sensei's divining top} 1
{birds of paradise} 4
{lanowar elves} 4
{arcanis the omnipotent} 1
{snapcaster Mage} 4
{emrakul, the Aron's torn} 4
{blightsteel colossus} 1
{wurmcoil engine} 3

This is a very very rough draft. Obviously I'm casting {unexpected results} as soon a possible to get a fatty out. I can also use {tooth and nail} to get them out, and getting the that magical 9 mana really isn't that hard with all the mana dorks and {gilded lotus}s. it seems to work pretty well but I really would appreciate feedback. Maybe I'll be able to make it legacy viable? I doubt it considering how completely random it is, but that certainly would be fun!

Tooth and Nail could be a good addition. If you have natural order there's really no reason not to have progenitus in my opinion. Other than that I like it!

I'd like to find a new place to go in Washington. This place I go in Olympia has too many kids. No I don't find it amusing to beat inexperienced players.
Northwest sports cards in university place is a really good spot. Normally there's not too many kids.

I don't know if you want to go this route, but the frites build that I run has 9 mana dorks 4 pilgrims 4 birds and 1 llanowar elves. Lingering souls is anOther good card for this deck along with trackers instinct. The reasoning is you really want that card advantage with most of your spells having flashback. As far as creatures go, crater hoof behemoth I great with all the tokens and mana dorks. Elesh norn is really good too. Griselbrand is amazing too. You really can't go wrong with the creatures, any fattie you ever wanted to Play with and you couldn't because of the cost will work lol hope I was able to help!

The u/b fetch is a little pricey too. I can slowly aquire those though. In the meantime what do you guys think about some of the zendikar fetches? No sure which ones I would use considering they're enemy colors. Watery grave might also be an option to substitute the underground seas? I'll have to play around with it. Thanks for all the input!

Duals and fetches and fow will be a problem. Is {foil} a good sub for fow do you think? I have a list of the cheaper cards that I still need. And I'm planning on taking this to local tourneys. So at least semi competitive
