Discussion:

When I first started this deck, I am not sure if it was because the competition was not as good, but however, this deck in comparison to its earlier incarnations relies a lot on cards that have fairly low casting costs for a green Commander Deck.  The most expensive creature car cast cost is Eldrazi Conscription, clocking in at 8 mana.  I have gotten rid of several cards that require 8 mana or more, such as Gigantomancer, and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, and Terastodon.  Depending on how play goes I may bring one or 2 back, but however there once was a time where I was hoping to play cards like It That Betray's and that like most of the others are not coming back at least for no other reason than that it was stolen out of my house.  Likewise, I have also gotten rid of the Elvish Piper because I have no use for it now that I have trimmed my deck down to size, meaning that it no longer has creatures so huge and fat.  Go figure, because when my weight went up, the size of my creatures came down.

Review of Farhaven Elf: ** Okay As 1. An Extra Elf 2. Mana Accelerator 3. Multiple Landfalls

This card really isn’t that great. Three mana is a lot to pay for its ability. Generally, if you cast a 3 mana spell, you should expect to get 2 or more mana in return, each turn, and in the case of Farhaven Elf it is only certain that you will get one extra mana each turn.
I took it out of my deck. It does have some redeeming value though. It is both an Elf and it allows you to search your library for a basic land and put it into play tapped. And, having an Elf scenario is a good idea, especially if you are playing a mono green deck. This card works well in decks that have Landfall cards. If two or more lands fall on a turn, the Landfall ability normally goes off more than once. This card is good for use in a multicolor deck. It is also a druid, and I don’t have any cards that work well with druids. However, in my opinion Elves and Druids are primarily for early to mid-game play, so if you have Elves in your deck, it probably doesn’t make sense to have Druids, and if you have Druids in your deck it probably doesn’t make sense to have Elves.

Review of Argothian Elder: **** Excellent If Used in an Elves Mana Acceleration Scenario

Review of Argothian Elder: **** Excellent If Used in an Elves Mana Acceleration Scenario

In my opinion the one of the best parts about having a mono green deck is that green is awesome at mana acceleration . By turn five, I am usually able to play cards that cost 10 mana, game winning cards, because of cards like Argothian Elder. If you can get something that can untap or beef it because it is an Elf in even better! This card goes really well with cards like Copperhorn Scout, Joraga Treespeaker or Elvish Archdruid. And, it is much better than the card, Farhaven Elf, that I am switching it in for.

I have 21 Elves in my commander deck, and I think that is a good number. These elves are used primarily for the purpose of mana acceleration. Even on the first turn of the game my mana acceleration is kicking in. This enables me to play enormous monstrosities later in the game. When I refer to monstrosities, I am referring to cards would not normally be able to be played until later in the game, or at all.

Also, the card Argothian Elder may go up in value as it becomes increasingly hard to get one. For example, starcitygames.com didn’t have one when I looked. When Star City doesn’t have one, then I can be assured that the local probably won’t have one either. I didn’t find many at amazon.com. This makes it so one has to look for it in obscure places on the internet, so if you really want this card, beware of scamers
