"I claim this land in the name of the Queen" —March 29, 2019
My meta has spoken, and I have listened.
The following changes have been made to the deck. My removal package has been improved, sac outlets, utility lands and artifact recursion has been added.
IN:
- Viscera Seer
- Restoration Specialist
- Utter End
- Costly Plunder
- Anguished Unmaking
- Scavenger Grounds
- Caves of Koilos
- Buried Ruin
- Fumigate
- Remember the Fallen
OUT:
- Blackblade Reforged
- Shade's Form
- Unspeakable Symbol
- Tortured Existence
- Key to the City
- Midnight Reaper
- Nameless Inversion
- Some combination of plains and swamps, I don't remember
I've weakened my Haakon theme and discard theme a lot, and ditched a lot of raw buff cards... time will tell if I want them back.

No Purgatory ? It is an amazing engine to recur Elenda!

Howzit AtrusOfMyst! Thanks for the comment and upvote!
Endrek Sahr is a nice token mechine but the cmc is too high, and I don't really run enough creature spells to really take advantage of him.
SynergyBuild I definitely considered it. Two problems: it costs a lot over time, and if Elenda is under it and it gets blown up, she stays in exile forever(see updated text on gatherer), which is the same reason I don't have Mimic Vat , a personal favorite.
For those interested:
I am testing out/thinking of adding the following cards: Costly Plunder , Utter End , Fumigate , Viscera Seer , Remember the Fallen , Restoration Specialist , and Scavenger Grounds . Any cuttable cards you see? Thanks for reading!

and then I realized this isn't Hymn of Darkness: Elenda EDH | *PRIMER* ._.
suggestion still stands though, if only to be justified in its absence

You deserve extra praise for your formatting. Beautiful work and clever deck brew, as always. Do you think Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder could find a home in the 99? I can't help but think that there is a potential interaction there.
