I am confused. Is this an Elf Deck or an Anti-Elf Deck?

Overall, I would say that you are not keeping with your own theme (Elf
Deck). There are too many other races involved. Either find the
necessary skills/strength from other elf cards, or change the theme.

Like Loki, my Torgo does no harm to my elves. I'll keep him in 'till he
starts popping mine off. He's a good card, and is the upkeep is tolerable in
a low cost deck.

It is really just a regular deck that happens to have an extraordinary
number of elves in it (14), more than enough to make the Tir Tarangire worth
my while, and I find that limiting card selection for a theme also limits
effectiveness.

If you've got some more specific suggestions, please make them.
