I did the best I could in helping her but at this point she has too much stuff and it's ugh. She doesn't have many white cards and they're all unrelated to her deck plan. She wants a "Paladin" like Elf deck which focuses on being mid-to-late game winner with a good green mana engine, average offense, and healing. She's building this on a budget and she isn't exactly capable of buying my cards because of her financial situation so we're trying to make the best out of what she has. I would appreciate your help on this because quite frankly I'm just one of the watchers and I'm not much help. We're winging it at the moment.

Well, obviously the first thing to do is to cut it down to 60 cards, the next thing to do is have more 4 or 3 ofs, singles only work if you have ways to tutor them up at will or you can rapidly cycle through your deck. Other than that, it looks like a generic green midrange deck. She has the Mana dorks all she needs is some fatties of choice and maybe some removal and shes set to go.

Since the collection of cards spans across formats, and it's casual, I assume there's no issues there regarding sticking to Standard or Modern or something. Quick 60-card list from the pile:

4 Elvish Mystic
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Swordwise Centaur
3 Borderland Ranger
3 Nylea's Disciple
2 Elvish Archdruid
2 Nessian Asp
1 Quirion Trailblazer
1 Reclamation Sage
1 Sporemound
1 Nessian Game Warden
1 Burnished Hart
1 Nath's Elite

2 Slime Molding
2 Howl of the Night Pack
2 Revive
1 Gelatinous Genesis

2 Verdant Haven
1 Into the Wilds

22 Forest

I guess a lot of ramp into your X-spells. 2 Revive acts as extra copies of your X-spells.
