I'd go with {Ezuri, Renegade Leader}. Nothing beats a built in over run when your playing elves.

The token dude. His name escapes me

I personally prefer Rhys or Glissa over Ezuri, just because mono-color EDH deck's are less fun to play. You have more options and places to go with black or white added, even if the vast majority is still green. Ezzy-poo should certain be in the deck though, even if not the commander.

I have to disagree just a hair. I prefer ezzy or Rhys over Glissa. I don't think Glissa should be the commander of a deck period. Rhys I would choose over Ezzy, but I don't have a Rhys lol. That's why my elf deck has Ezzy as its commander.

Karrthus

Comparing Rhys to Ezuri just isn't a good match up. Both of them tend to end the game fairly quick. Rhys give you lots of tokens, and with mana fixing from green you could potentially have enough tokens to end the game by turn 6.
On the other hand Ezuri has his overrun, and with help from mana elves I've won games on turn 4 before. Although the average is turn 6-8 which Gorzo will say is fairly quick in EDH.

Gorzo

They are both incredibly good commanders for an elf deck, really. My only sway to Rhys is my personal preference of multicolor decks in the format, and aversion to mono-color decks. Pure personal taste.  Well, that, and you can put Ezuri in your Rhys deck but not visa versa.

As for Glissa, she is a phenomenal commander...just not for elves ;) She is better for a kamikaze artifact deck.

Karrthus

I never thought of using Glissa like that, do you have a deck list?

Gorzo

I don't, but I've been wanting to build one around her ever since my LGS gave me and my friends a bunch of promo Glissa just 'cause they like us lol. I will probably build her a deck once I finish finding the last 10 or so cards to complete my Ulasht token deck.

Karrthus

When you build your Glissa deck I want to see it.

Their is a Planes walker called nissa I'm not sure about last name but ADD her cuz her last ability lets u grab any number of elves from ur deck ;)
