Is that a good deck? What changes can i make? I tried it on workstation and work pretty well, its viable or not? Im really considering to build this one! And remove 2 creatures and add a planeswalker!

Sincerely,

If you're going to add a planeswalker, Nissa Revane

seems obvious to me. I'm a little puzzled why you have the Snow Covered Forest in your deck though. It doesn't look like it serves a purpose. Also, you have a bunch of elves that require you to tap other elves, which could be useful given the right circumstances, but maybe I'm not seeing it. For all your weenies in here, you could also look at a card like Aluren

to combo with your Glimpse of Nature

, then hit big and fast.

aluren and nissa revane are both pointless in an elves deck. nissa revane does nothing useful, and Aluren is unnecessary because the deck already generates so much mana

This definitely doesn't mean what you think it means.

I was referring to the painting The Treachery of Images.

I know.

dingus is trolling. Everything suggested is 100% wrong and absolutely terrible.

Regular forests can be used instead of Snow-Covered Forests. There is really no reason for them to be snow lands.

The list looks ok, but probably not the ideal version of Elves. Here's what I'd change:

-2 Ezuri
-5 Snow-Covered Forest
-3 Forest
-1 Gaea's Cradle

+1 Mirror Entity

+2 Savannah

+6 green fetchlands ( Verdant Catacombs

, Wooded Foothills

, Windswept Heath

, Misty Rainforest

. The exact ones don't matter.)
+1 Birchlore Rangers
+1 Quiron Ranger

I wouldn't bother with any planeswalkers. Don't be fooled by all the creatures, the deck is a combo deck. That means you want to be winning the game on turn 2-3. Planeswalkers are only good when you expect them to sit in play for several turns, giving you several small advantages over those turns. That's why they're so good in control decks. In a deck where you want to end the game early, they're terrible.

Unfortunately, there is no real replacement for the Cradles. They're expensive because they're unique, old and very, very good. You can play the deck without them to start (don't play Crop Rotation), using Forests (or fetch lands) instead. The deck just won't be as good or as powerful. You probably don't need two, but I'd really want one before I played the deck in a bigger tournament.
