holding out for a hero (holding out for a gruul turf)

Cavern of Souls would be fantastic for this deck, I know, but it's also outrageously expensive.

Game plan:

play elves and draw cards until you hit an angel or a kessig wolf run.

kill their things with red spells or oblivion ring

proceed to win.

evaluate life and find it satisfactory.

(thinking about swapping Yeva out for Mentor of the Meek; less elf synergy but more card-drawing. curious to get anyone's thoughts on this)

Cut lands to 22 given the absurd amount of ramp in the deck. May bump back up to 23; might even go with a 61 card deck. I think this deck can handle that.

Swapped Pillar of Flame for Cloudshift, which is more relevant for the deck. Bumped Mizzium Mortars up to a 4-of with the spare slot opened up by a land.
