This is an Elf Deck I just built using Demonfire as my kill. If Demonfire fails, I'll just Overrun my opponent with my Elves.
Also Elvish Skysweeper is in here to help get rid of my flier problems, plus the sacrifice ability works well with Wirewood Herald to fetch for an Elf. Traproot Kami while not an Elf also helps maintain my flier problems as well.
Pendelhaven Elder helps give many of my Elves a big power and toughness boost, especially for pumping up chump blockers as well. I was going to consider running Primal Forcemage in this deck but I don't think he'd be worth running IMO.
Any advice and suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it...

Sideboard the flier control, if you really, really need them after these suggestions, think a little bit more carefully about how you're playing. Drop the Caller of the Claws, Taproot Kamis, the Elvish Skysweepers and 1 Llanowar Druid for 4x Wirewood Channeler (self explanitory), 4x Sylvan Messenger, and 3x Tribal Forcemage. This should very well work, because it will be very close to a very nice elf deck that I went up against at my last tournament. There is still some room for improvement, but the cards that I suggested should provide a remarkable improvement to the deck's survivability (maybe run 4 demonfire now?)
Thanks for the help, I don't think I'll have much of a problem getting those cards anyway.
I'll let you know how the deck works when I manage to get it upgraded tomorrow.

I actually did thought about running Slate of Ancestry in this deck and it would work wonders considering all the mana I can generate in this deck. So yeah, I'll take that into consideration...
Also about Rolling Thunder I'd still stick with Demonfire incase I enable the Hellbent ability where it can't be targeted by spells or abilities my opponent's control.
Still, I appreciate the help though...

@Thisledown - you do know about the Demonfire Hellbent ability, right? If he doesn't have Hellbent when he plays it, he will still have a retarded amount of mana, that will overpower the cantrip counters, it's the more dangerous counters that will hurt it, which is why waiting for hellbent won't be much of an issue (nor will getting it).
The Hurricanes deal with those pesky fliers, and as long as you have more life they can kill the opponent as well so that adds 3 more win cards. Timberwatch Elf can protect your creatures and give you that early Defense
Lightning Greaves are a must. Keeps you Priests out of target, gives new elves haste wich helps to add even more mana.
Thanks for the help guys. I just recently tested out my Elf Deck against a friend of mine and I realized I needed 2 things in this deck, Feldon's Cane and Nullmage Shepherd. With those 2 I can shuffle my Elves back into my deck to play again unless my opponent plays Tormod's Crypt which is now Type 2 legal as with the Nullmage I can just tap 4 untapped Elves I control to destroy any artifact or enchantment and apparently the one enchantment my opponent was playing at the time was Teferi's Moat which was preventing me to attack with my Elves.

Instead of Nullmage Shepherd I'd run Naturalize, it's cheaper and more practical. Tormod's Crypt is actually T2 legal. It's one of the timeshifted cards in Timespiral.

@Card Slinger J - It just occurred to me that you might want to run some kind of artifact/enchantment hate for the Just In Case S*@#.

a few of the cards may be difficult to get, IE Gaea's Cradle
12 Forest
3 Mountain
2 Wirewood Lodge
2 Gaea's Cradle
Creatures: 34
3 Llanowar Elves
3 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Priest of Titania
4 Wirewood Channeler
4 Wellwisher
4 Skyshroud elf
3 Sylvan Messenger
2 Quirion Ranger
2 Timberwatch Elf
3 Brass Herald
3 Lightning Greaves
3 Demonfire
3 Hurricane
The Hurricanes deal with those pesky fliers, and as long as you have more life they can kill the opponent as well so that adds 3 more win cards.
Timberwatch Elf can protect your creatures and give you that early Defense
Lightning Greaves are a must. Keeps you Priests out of target, gives new elves haste wich helps to add even more mana.
Just my thoughts
