Having a bunch of 3ofs to squeeze her in or do like most TOP8 : remove either llanowar elves or elvish mystic....no thanks.
Yavimaya with elvish champion on the other hand is really powerful.

11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature. - Maximillian Cohen.
Rite of Harmony enough to put the deck back on the map ya'll think? it's one more than glimpse, but it does have flash back for late game.
The card would require us to go back towards nettle sentinel for more explosive starts I think, which is weak by itself.
Mana base can be stretched to include W pretty easily imo, it'll be painful but we could potentially race burn if they don't bolt the dorks or engine pieces. 1 temple garden, 1 overgrown tomb, 1 yavimaya, 1 pendlehaven, 4 basic forests, 4 fast lands (probably a 2/2 split with GW and GB?), 1 westvale abbey (not sure), 5 fetches is probably fine. I think an argument could be made for 6 fetches against most decks. I don't think dryad arbor is feasible with such a low land count in modern.
Aside from natural order and once upon a time, we're starting to converge with the legacy list in options. We don't have some of the crazy G haymakers that legacy has access to through the commander format, but I think we still have some solid plays.
I went 4-2 at a team tournament and even though I lost the last one, I just threw it for the sake of fun (since our team had already lost).
One event, I know, but this has serious game. So much am I convinced that I decided to buy all the pieces necessary for Abzan, combo elves. Grist (for the black) is the real deal.

Does anyone have a list?
@mapccu I think the golgari lists are our best bets. The 2 black mana elf that helps vs sweepers is a nice upgrade against wipes.
I'm going to bring a list tomorrow to a team tournament. Will report if I do well

Kind of excited for this archetype again.
