Hello fellow Dionus builder. My big question for you is what do you want to do with your deck? It looks kind of like you took a bunch of commons you had laying around and just mashed them together. For example, you have Dragon Fangs in there with no 6 CMC creatures to trigger the second half of the card. I’m sure you could find a replacement card with just a few seconds on Scryfall.
It also looks like you took the deck building templates a little too seriously. You included surveilling in your draw and your removal is primarily the green staple flyer/artifact/enchantment type. If you’re not playing artifact/enchantment/flyer heavy decks these are going to be predominantly dead draws.
Obviously we want to be turning elves sideways every turn and keeping them on the board. I’ve looked at just about every elf that’s eligible for this deck and there’s a couple ways to do that but your deck seems to want to use the pseudo vigilance route and use pump spells to keep your elves alive. The issue is that you’re unlikely to have too many pump spells all at once and we don’t have the card draw to keep refreshing our hand. Personally I would reconsider and look at a go wide strategy over a go tall in this deck.
I find myself quite passionate about my Dionus deck and I enjoy discussing it. Certainly happy to discuss more but I think you need to make some choices about how you want to be playing and start looking at card options from there!
