Update TO Version, New Elsha Server! —Sept. 7, 2020
The last time update was done on June 14th, 3 weeks after the banning of Flash. Since then I have had more time to fine tune the list, test several cards such as Teferi and also, WE FINALLY HAVE A 3RD WINCON! For more in depth discussion on that topic, you can check out the cEDH Cast podcast on this exact build! Video setion of this primer has been updated. I know I already posted this on reddit and facebook, but showing some of my Tapped Out people some love here!
BRAND NEW ELSHA SERVER: https://discord.gg/MaqnYmU
IN: Azorious Signet - Now we are just going full proactive. Our 2 cmc rocks are very important.
Bloodstained Mire - With us no longer main decking Blood Moon, coupled with it being weaker in this current format. It benefits you having more shuffle effects.
Copy Artifact - Its Floor is a 2 cmc rock, it's ceiling is a game winning combo.
Dramatic Reversal - This card just got better with the addition of more rocks, breach and scepter.
Isochron Scepter - Back then we didn't have the cards to utilize Iso to it's full potential, now we do.
Izzet Signet - Increasing the rock density of the list for more consistent mana.
Miscast - Great against Ad Naus and low on curve.
Phantasmal Image - Who doesn't want another Dockside?
Rite of Flame - Increases the consistency of our early game and even can be a T1 Dockside.
Spire of Industry - with 21 artifacts, we heavily benefit from it.
Snap - Dockside makes this good card a great one.
Talisman of Conviction - This rock is better than Azorious Signet due to it being faster, but run both anyway.
Training Center - This is just an auto include.
Unsubstantiate - One of the best ways to stop Ad Naus now and great utility outside of that as well.
Wooded Foothills - Same reason as Bloodstained Mire.
Out: Angel's Grace - No longer need this card due to changes in the format.
Baral, Chief of Compliance - Was okay, but turns out, he wasn't as good now with a Flash'less format.
Blood Moon - Has become significantly weaker in the recent format.
Cephalid Coliseum - Not as good with no Oracle in the list. Yes it fuels breach, but it also makes us go mana negative.
Counterspell - That double U devotion is rough, so miscast took its place.
Frantic Search - I love this card. But I ultimately decided that loots isn't where we want to be.
Grapeshot - We no longer need it in our deck. I will miss this fine card.
Island - With no Whir, it's no longer required!
Narset, Parter of Veils - We are no longer a midrange deck, we are full on proactive.
Not Forgotten - Not needed due to no longer running twister loops.
Maybe: Cyclonic Rift - By no means is this card terrible, but we are fully proactive now.
Mana Drain - If you rather this over Spell Pierce, go for it.
Plains - Training Center replaced it.
Prismatic Vista - No need for it with 2 basics in this list.
Winds of Change - If you do not have timetwister you can run this card and be fine.

Any ideas if there's an Elsha of the Infinite discord? Love the list! Would love if you could check out my Elsha list, based on defense and reactionary play! Elsha, Retaliate!

JankimusPrime apologies for the super late reply! I'm not against Fierce or Drannith. I just don't like that Fierce is dependent on Elsha as posted in my recent update. As for Drannith, you are are going stax control, sure, but we do run minimal creatures and i'd rather have Baral. Now we do have answers to him on the other hand.
