This deck was last updated three years ago and is thus garbage and should be ignored.

Tutor up Dramatic Reversal and Isochron Scepter. Go infinite using 2-3 of the assorted nonland mana sources and show those pussy ass elves who's boss by making them draw their deck or just beating them to death with 999/999 trampling hasty humans.

Mana rocks / dorks

Due to the combo requiring nonland mana producing permanents I had to avoid traditional ramp. Also I am limiting myself to only humans as elves are inferior trash.

Avacyn's Pilgrim / Noble Hierarch are the only 1 cmc human mana dorks. Both are fantastic as the require G investment but produce non-green mana.

Deathcap Cultivator / Drover of the Mighty / Harabaz Druid / Rattleclaw Mystic / Sylvok Explorer provide additional mana sources. Renowned Weaponsmith is a fun tech. It can funnel mana into my signets or combo Isochron Scepter. I obviously don't run his two inventions because they're awful, but his tutor ability is still really good to shuffle my deck after Sensei's Top, Sylvan Library etc.

Tutors

Imperial Recruiter / Ranger-Captain of Eos / Recruiter of the Guard / Spellseeker / Tribute Mage / Weathered Wayfarer / Enlightened Tutor / Lim-Dul's Vault / Muddle the Mixture / Mystical Tutor / Tainted Pact / Vampiric Tutor / Demonic Tutor / Merchant Scroll cover my long list of tutors. All I need is Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal to win so I pretty consistently get the cards I need by turn 4-6.

Card Advantage

Dark Confidant / Jace, Vryn's Prodigy / Eternal Witness / Kess, Dissident Mage / Salvage Scout / Snapcaster Mage / Tymna the Weaver / Sensei's Divining Top / Frantic Search / Echo of Eons / Time Spiral / Rhystic Study / Sylvan Library assist with card selection. Kess and Tymna are okay at best and probably on the chopping block if something better comes along.

Protection

Daring Apprentice / Devoted Caretaker / Dosan the Falling Leaf / Grand Abolisher / Ranger-Captain of Eos / Pact of Negation / Mana Drain / Muddle the Mixture / Izzet Charm / Counterspell / Bant Charm / Cyclonic Rift keep the combo safe as well as neutralizes opposing combos or other threats my opponents might have. Daring Apprentice is terrible but it's just funny enough to use. I know just running counterspells is the more efficient option but more humans = better.

Removal

Mangara of Corondor / Anguished Unmaking / Assassin's Trophy / Bant Charm / Chaos Warp / Cyclonic Rift / Sultai Charm cover my small but easily tutored removal package. Mangara of Corondor can exile all of my opponent's permanents if I get the combo off but only have two untappable mana sources.

As far as "maybe" cards...

Drown in the Loch - A very good card but also one that can just as easily be dead weight. I'm not playing cEDH, in many cases this is just a worse Izzet Charm. It has a high ceiling but a very, very low floor.

Naya Charm - Basically a charm that picks between Lightning Bolt and Eternal Witness. It's on the maybe because the tap ability is pretty useless.

Swan Song - Excellent value. Sorry about your spell, here have a bird.

Drannith Magistrate - Probably one of the strongest cards from Ikoria. The only "maybe" here is just the amount of hate it would draw.

Metallurgeon - Combo protector but otherwise pretty bad.

Skull Prophet - Deathcap Cultivator with a better ability but much more difficult casting cost.

Time Reversal - Probably better than Echo of Eons but I'm greedy.

Mystic Remora - A great card in some metas. Not mine.

Cavern of Souls - Should go in the deck, I just haven't been able to pick which land to remove.
