I *do* see where it'd be easy to call the odd shape an elephant, walking from right to left. It could also be a boar with an antler/spike, walking from left to right. Or a quadrupedal sliver?
Side note: I was just checking out your auctions from links at the dragonhighlander forums. Small world, and absolutely amazing work; if an elephant general is ever printed, would you do a commission job?
So you already have someone to commission the art work for Riptide Replicator to have those Cephalids pumping out HUMONGOUS ELEPHANTS!
There's plenty of room to put a LIVELY elephant busting out of the frame and change the ceph's faces to shocked/frightened/alarmed expressions. I have one if you need it along with Gilded Lotus, Thran Dynamo, and other EDH cards (check out my sales thread linked in my signature for the list). I could see that Gilded Lotus propelling an elephant out of the top edge where that orange glow leads to. The Thran Dynamo could have one in the middle (maybe looking bored) or have two off the openings on the right and top left. Lot of room you could work with there!

That sounds absolutely sweet!
Unfortunately, that's not the kind of alters I do, so he'd have to find someone else to do that for him I make 3-dimensional cards by cutting and layering multiple copies of a card, like the Momir Vig in my sig.

Holy elephants... You need an Adaptive Automaton. Well... not need, but i think it would be hilarious if there was a creature on the field with the "Elephant Golem" type.
Also, can somebody point out exactly where the secret elephant is on that forest art? I'm apparently blind.
No Elephant Grass? Also why the one random wurm? Otherwise this deck is sweet.
It is Metamorphic Wurm its creature type is "Elephant Wurm". It always seemed out of place to me from a flavor perspective, why would an elephant transform into a wurm?
Yes. The decks creator is frothing at the mouth that the Selesnya champion won't be a loxodon. Worse, that it's another elf.

I'll wring out a few games this weekend and see if other RtR or Gatecrashey bits fit, but I'll want a few more elephants to be printed before I can really make this a competitive deck (and remove the less-playable packyderms).
In my area, it's handy to have a "fun" EDH deck for more casual games with newer EDH players. I was skimming through the forums looking for anything that sparked my interest, and I found this deck. I made a few meta-based changes of my own (Mind's Eye, Quietus Spike, Mimic Vat, Green Sun, Coat of Arms, Tooth & Nail), bought some elephant tokens, and I am VERY excited to take Elephants for a spin tomorrow!
Your commander should be [CARD]Krond the Dawn-Clad
[/CARD] but have the art altered so he is riding a flying elephant! Then again that would be super silly.

I opted for Tolsimir as he's an Anthem effect for 37 creatures in the deck, and a DOUBLE anthem effect for Loxodon Hierarch and Loxodon Smiter. Krond the Dawn Clad only interacts with the two auras in the deck, which I can't tutor for. He's also much harder to cast early without perfect land drops.
I may still get one altered, though, because you're right; Dumbo the Dawn Clad would look awesome.
Pretty good... like a moron I left Coat of Arms at home... and I still haven't been able to find Elephant Graveyard locally. It seems to have fit the bill well for a casual, less competitive, flavorful EDH deck.
Lurking Predators did serious work.
I think it needs a little reshuffle, perhaps something as simple as an Elixir of Immortality, and a way to get artifacts out of the graveyard, like Buried Ruin.
I'm curious to know what this deck looks like after a decade. How many of your original elephants are still in the deck? How does this deck hang with all the power-creeped cards that have been released in the past 10 years?

Holy amorphous forest art, Batman!

As prompted by certain threads on the forums, I'm now certain that the planeswalkers in DGM will be.... Ral Zarek, Morsel of the Firemind.

With Ivorytusk Fortress, do you try to go in on counters with cathar's crusade? Maybe add in some of the Guildgates?
Major updates to follow, ya'll
