After some playtesting with 4x Gaea's Cradle in Elfball, I won so many games without any Glimps-Hertiage-Nettle interactions, so I decided to cut the whole package.

Dryad Arbors exploits the Cradles and work well with Zeniths. Super minispalsh for Deathrite Shaman. You can go MonoG if you want.

Creatures:

1 [EVE] Regal Force
1 [AVR] Craterhoof Behemoth
Obviously you try to kill with Behemoth, but in some MU you want Regal Force first!

1 [DS] Viridian Zealot
1 [FD] Eternal Witness
1 [MBS] Viridian Corrupter
Some Utility guys. I am really thinking of cutting Eternal Witness! In 100 games, I played her about 2 times : (

2 [M11] Elvish Archdruid
2 [RTR] Deathrite Shaman
4 [DM] Fyndhorn Elves
4 [M11] Llanowar Elves
4 [US] Priest of Titania
I got a lot of Slots, by cutting combo Mana (Hertiage-Nettle) and filled them with more streamlined Mana Guys.

2 [VI] Quirion Ranger
3 [EVG] Wirewood Symbiote
3 [DPA] Elvish Visionary
The package with fancy interaction is very thigh!


Spells

2 [UL] Crop Rotation
Mainly for Cradle, can be an instant 1/1

4 [MBS] Green Sun's Zenith
Yeah... This holds the Deck together.

3 [CMD] Garruk Wildspeaker
He is better than expected! The Manaramp is nice! I play about 24 1/1 dorks, so the Ultimate is really really good.

2 [RAV] Chord of Calling
1 [FUT] Summoner's Pact
You cant play 7 Zeniths


Tipps:
It feels very different than the root of the Deck Elfball. Alot games happen to play out very easy. You dont have to hold back some dudes for glimpse, you just play out your hand out and try to go off. You have some lands a lot of creatures and tutors and some bombs. Alot of people think you play elfball and cabal therapy you for glimpse(even game 2 and 3). Resolving Craterhoof Behemoth is almost every time gg.

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but your list looks like the bastard children of Combo-Elves and Aggro NO Elves.

Combo elves is not really a combo list. Its more like a grindy midrange deck that can morph into a monstrosity with the good draws/hands.
