All creatures have to block him, so all your elves can damage your opponent

If you really want to annoy your opponents, just add Dead-Iron Sledge .

In Soviet Russia, YOU TAUNT TAUNTING ELF!
Also, Infiltration Lens will net you a bunch of cards, right?

Ezuri, Renegade Leader can regenerate him, so if you have both out there's no stopping your other elves for turn after turn.

Great synergy with Elvish Scout. Use the taunter and the scout as your one drops, Priest of Titania as your second drop, any big green thing as your accelerated third-turn drop and you should be able to consistently bloody faces on turn four and stomp them in on turn four.

@ Rumblin-Slumm:

That's a great idea. If only you had a way to search up equipment that didn't conflict with a typical mono green elf deck.

I asked for a playset of these at the local game store,
the owner's response was "Oh, not that little b***ard again."

This card saved my life in EDH SEVERAL times. With this and Asceticism can make sure that HORDES of creatures are no match for your three or four game-winning fatties. I can't tell you how frustrating it is for your opponents when you have a 0/1 Hexproof creature that makes your other creatures unblockable THAT YOU CAN REGENERATE for 1Green every turn. I'm not even afraid of infinite tokens with him because of that, as long as I have Constant Mists ready to play. All that for just Green is such a bargain and it will continue to be my little ace in the hole in Mono-Green EDH for several games to come. 5/5 all day.

1 mana Overrun. This card is pretty stupid if you set it up right. One of the few playable edh 1 drops.

5/5

The first deck I ever built was a simple little 60-card casual RG deck that focused on getting unblocked damage through. This guy was the star, and years later I STILL add him to any green EDH deck that focuses on attacking to win (you know, almost all of them). Even without extra tricks, this little buddy ALWAYS gives me value after he hits the table.

Taunting Elf looks like Mona Lisa to me... Ugh. Why am I weird?

The only drawbacks to this card (when compared to other methods to prevent blocking, like Winter Blast) are that your opponent can see him coming and he's vulnerable to removal.

But given that he's a one drop, I'm perfectly happy to see my opponent forced to plan around him or waste removal on him. So awesome.
