a rough build for Elsha, focussed initially on artifacts that become creatures but with a few of the infinite combos in for good measure, like Elsha and Sensei's Divining Top (a costly card, but hopefully the rest of the deck will be cheaper) and Grand Architect + Pili-Pala

Ashnod's Transmogrant and Thran Forge are there are some old school tech with Leonin Abunas and Padeem, Consul of Innovation -- Make Elsha an artifact and she's got hexproof!

Torn between Goblinslide and Skywise Teachings -- Goblins with haste for 1 each, or 2 for flying 2/2s that can be tapped for mana with Grand Architect? Going with ST for now despite the heavier mana sink, but with the grand-pala combo, that's nothing to worry about.

Could do with a bit more control in there -- this is a severe work in progress!
