No, I was saying discard is generally a bad strategy. That deck is the only one I've made that has any chance against anything (though as you point out, not elves). Personally I've found tentacles to be very effective against these guys since if you play nothing the FP is forced to choose between stopping and having a hand clogged with Elven Events, or doubling and risking one card in your hand being able to use 40 twilight, to get out 17 minions. It takes a lot of events to take that out.
Watching games, I don't see that elves have much in the way of healing. I may be wrong, but wounding looks to be very effective against them.
