MTG Salvation

This is what I have for my Ezuri deck. I need to cut it down to 99 plus Ezuri. It's sitting at 126 total, but I'm not super familiar with playing EDH. I'd appreciate some help with cuts, and if you think I'm missing something obvious. I plan on playing Multiplayer, but I'm not sure what the field will be like as I'm playing with a new group this weekend.
UPDATED DECKLIST: Still need to cut 10
Original decklist, probably not worth looking at:
I'm trying to only work with what I have available, so I here is what I have in green. It's copied and pasted straight from my collection program, so if it says I have 0, it's because it's simpler for me to track what I don't have as well as what I do have (for Standard anyways) and some cards are from multiple sets (therefore listed twice)

COLLECTION IN GREEN:

Protean Hulk is banned in commander, sadly.
Yeva is awesome, but her Forcemage isn't so much. Elvish Archers are pretty underwhelming too, as is Explorer's Scope, Armillary Sphere (especially in green), and Hunter's Insight.
A deck with this many cheap elf dudes could probably go a land or two less.

It's not much, but it's a couple things. Hope this helps.

Good Morning

I'll take a stab at 'er, as I've looked at a good number of Ezuri decks when putting mine together.

I'm going to base my cut recommendations on the assumptions that you plan on using Ezuri as your primary win condition; ie, elf trample.

Cuts:
- Kaysa: Ezuri should be the only lord you need. +1/+1 to your creatures is not enough impact. Also 5 mana. Wouldn't your rather spend that 5 mana on +3/+3 +trample to your craetures?
- Protean Hulk: As mentioned, banned. Don't know if your meta allows it, but it's an easy cut if they don't.
- Ambush Commander: Tricky. You kinda want your lands to pump Ezuri. Only good if you have infinite mana engine....to which I'm not seeing any....so more to come with my adds on that.
- Skyshroud Elite: Vanilla elves shouldn't be required.
- Greatbow Doyen: I didn't count your archers, and though I run this guy myself, I do so more because of flavor than competitiveness. His abilities are too narrow as elves tend to be druids or warriors.
- Wirewood Guardian: Too fat. Too vanilla.
- Viridian Corrupter: The infect makes this guy pretty bad. I know you have Triumph of the Hordes, but that's a one-shot spell.
- Wolf-Skull Shaman: Alas, this guy is just too slow to be effective.
- Ezuri's Brigade: metalcraft? This might as well be vanilla. Cut.
- Wren's Run Packmaster: Only good with infinite mana. Very possible, but you just need to be aware that it's a dead draw if you don't have infinite mana, as you are not increasing the number of fielded elves.
- Elvish Archers: You're depending on trample....who cares about first strike.
- Manaplasm:...cut. It's vanilla. Sure, it may get large, but it's too easy to block and Ezuri can't pump it.
- Yeva's Forcemage: This says 'too weak' all over the card.
- Adaptive Automaton: Again, +1/+1 isn't enough in most cases. Generally you want the lords that give you something in addition to the pump. (like Elvish Champion)
- Armillary Sphere: Is not needed here.
- Darksteel Ingot: Probably isn't needed here either....or you can drop a land.
- Seer's Sundial: Don't know if this is the best spot for this card.
- Primal Rage: Ezuri does this already.
- Overrun: Obsolete. Overwhelming Stampede and Craterhoof Behemoth are both effectively better, though I find that I don't even need those with Ezuri so easy to cast.

Now, the add recommendations:

- Umbral Mantle: Combos with any multi-mana elf. Great for infinite mana.
- Cauldron of Souls + Oran-Rief, the Vastwood is great for keeping your elves fielded.
- Beast Within: If you got one or can get one. It's worth it.
- Elvish Guidance: Really good with Argothian Elder or Garruk Wildspeaker
- Wrap in Vigor: Can be very handy too.


Hope this helps.

Thanks, Elf Trample is my main win condition, with Ezuri himself being secondary. Not sure I have room for a third win con. I've got it down quite a bit. I was testing the deck and drew a few of the ones you mentioned, and I have to agree. Many of the cuts you suggested helped. I'm not sure how I initially thought Overrun was a good idea, especially since Ezuri operates at instant speed.

Does Thrun belong in here? What about Swords of (War and Peace) (Feast and Famine) (Body and Mind)? I think the swords would do well on my commander, though I am not sure if just Feast and Famine is good enough with trample effects to untap lands, putting out bigger dudes to block.

I read Blackjack's deck building guide and saw the "staples" lists. I like Brutalizer Exarch, but I'm not sure if he's worth the cost (could be used to pump with Ezuri) or not.

EDIT: Updated original post to show latest decklist iteration.

Now, the add recommendations:

- Cauldron of Souls + Oran-Rief, the Vastwood is great for keeping your elves fielded.
- Beast Within: If you got one or can get one. It's worth it.

I really like these ideas, and will consider them after playing with my new group. Not sure how a particular group of people would handle infinite mana. I am considering buying a Worldly Tutor. But I want to make sure I have a 100 card deck first.

well, if you want, I'll take another swing at bat:

- Sylvok Replica: Not an elf, so can't be abused by Ezuri. Rely on Viridian Zealot.
- Elvish Promenade: Gotta be honest here...this guy looks so good...but it's a 'win more' card. Too tempting to hold on to this guy to get more elves, but that goes against Ezuri tempo. Casting it right away usually get you only 2-3 elves. Elven Ambush is better because it's instant. Hunting Triad is even better because of the instant speed reinforce.
- Rude Awakening: I found this card to be underwhelming. Often you have to tap all your lands just to use this, only to have them untapped? Doesn't work with Ezuri's tempo. It's too slow.
- Boar Umbra: A little too vanilla. Grab a copy of Swiftfoot Boots and you won't be disappointed.
- Allosaurus Rider: Expensive cast cost and for a vanilla? It's a beautiful card to be sure...just needed a bit more functionality.
- Tajuru Preserver: Only run if you meta is Eldrazi heavy.
- Fierce Empath: Soley in here for Primeval Titan? Sadly, it makes this card worth the slot, but that would be the only reason.
- Brutalizer Exarch: I'm still not convinced about this guy. Tell me how it goes.

I haven't counted your mana-elves. I'd rule-of-thumb 2 mana-elves per land to take out. Ie: You currently have 27 land, and I see 2 ramp spells, so you should have a minimum of 4 mana elves. For every 2 more you have in your build, you can drop another land. I wouldn't go much below 34 lands though.

Check out my Ezuri list in sig for more details, deck ideas and lists by type. (especially for those mana elves)

Hope this helps.
