Well... I haven't really made an elf deck lately, but let's see what I can do. First off, I'm going to try to keep it as close to yours as I can. A few key cards for green decks these days are Tarmogoyf, Garruk Wildspeaker and Chameleon Colossus, but they're expensive.

In regards to your deck, I'd change it around to something like this:
All Green Version
Land: 20
20 Forest

Creatures: 33
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Heritage Druid
4 Devoted Druid
4 Imperious Perfect
3 Civic Wayfinder - New
4 Bramblewood Paragon - New (a must have for the trample!)
4 Immaculate Magistrate
4 Essence Warden - No reason to splash white

Spells: 10
3 Elvish Promenade - New
3 Mercy Killing - New
4 Umbral Mantle

Sideboard: (I'm never very good at Sideboards..)

Combos:
Immaculate Magistrate + Umbral Mantle + Devoted Druid = Infinite +1/+1 counters... fun times!

Complaints: There's no real reaction in this deck, you're hoping you'll make it on the fast pace and the massive elves. Mercy killing is all that's in here.

A deck you might want to work towards is:
Black/Green Version
Land: 22
6 Forest
8 Swamps
4 Treetop Village
4 Gilt-Leaf Palace

Creatures: 27
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Devoted Druid
4 Llanowar Augur
4 Imperious Perfect
4 Civic Wayfinder
4 Shriekmaw
3 Chameleon Colossus

Spells: 11
3 Nameless Inversion
4 Profane Command
4 Mercy Killing

Combos:
Llanowar Augur + Chameleon Colossus = fun!

Complaints: You have a lot more reaction ability in this deck, Nameless Inversion, Profane Command, and Shriekmaw are all handy vs the normal decks these days.

Other fun combos/Cards to consider:
Flourishing Defenses + Devoted Druid + QuillSpike = Infinite 1/1 Elves and an infinite/infinite Quillspike, Mercy Killing the Quillspike and you better have a lot of Elf tokens!

Mercy Killing a Chameleon Colossus with a Wilt-leaf Liege in play = a bunch of 3/3 elves!

If you are going to get all of those tokens going I would suggest Garruk or just straight up Overrun. I know its beaten me more than once.
