Additionally, Bloodbraid Elf lets you be a little more aggressive against decks that aren't going to do anything, and each hit from Bloodbraid Elf is one fewer Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle trigger you need to actually kill your opponent. Against aggressive decks, it gives you a means of stabilizing the board while ramping up towards your end game or giving you a chance to hit cards like Lightning Bolt and Slagstorm. You can even Summoner's Pact for Bloodbraid Elf in the midgame if things aren't going quite as planned and you need to make a play.

All in all, Bloodbraid Elf adds an exciting new dimension to this deck in a way that cards like Wood Elves, Growth Spasm, and Tireless Tracker don't. Not only is Bloodbraid Elf a high impact card regardless of what it hits, there's an immediacy and consistency to its impact on the game that just isn't there for your other options.
