I figured out I had to explore the weaknesses of my meta. One of the weaknesses is that no one plays Engeneered Explosives and very few play Pernicious Deed in their decks. Also, there are few MUC players. That lead me to an elves deck. I tried to mix the deck that got 4th on GenCon this year with Glimpse of Nature combo deck.

This is my first version. Any feedback appretiated.

Manabase - 17
1 Gaea's Craddle
4 Chrome Mox
12 Forest

Creatures - 33
4 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Nettle Sentinel
4 Heritage Druid
4 Birchlore Rangers
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Wolf-Skull Shaman
3 Wirewood Herald
2 Wirewood Symbiote

Other Spells - 10
1 Elvish Promenade
1 Garruk Wildspeaker
4 Glimpse of Nature
1 Slate of Ancestery
3 Wirewood Pride

SB - 15
4 Thorn of Amethyst
1 Mycoloth
3 Eladamri, lord of leaves
2 Regal Force
1 Elvish Promenade
3 Umezawa's Jitte
1 Nullmage Shepherd

Only 2 Symbiote = epic fail
Slate of Ancestry over Regal Force = epic fail
Wolf-Skull Shaman is senseless
Garruk is senseless
Wirewood Pride is senseless
Elvish Promenade could be senseless too, but after a first took i realized it could be worsier...

The deck isn't supposed to be based only on Glimpse of Nature combo. It should be able to win without it aswell. Hence some of the card choises.

The current Glimpse-Elves lists can win without Glimpse as well, just by simply overwhelming the board with little green men. I think you should try the established lists first before tweaking.
