I'll use this workshop to explore the packages away from the greater whole, so that I can use my shortcut sideboard as a tool. Let's start at the beginning, the mana! And of course we have Elsha.

We have 4 two mana ramp spells in deranged assistant, millikin, corrupted grafstone, and dreamscape artist. Three of those also can control the top to Elsha. Then we get 3 mana rocks, only those that make multicolor made it, vessel of endless rest, celestus, honored heirloom, and cryptolitb fragment. This is a nice package of 8 split in 2-3. We can upgrade depending on what packages we use. I should have a lot of fun playing this, kind of nailed pre optimized nicol bolas. I need to switch out terminus and divine reckoning, peace keepers effects have me covered on that. Also want a reason to cut creatures. All that's left is to move the list back to the main and see if there are any upgradess

For the land, we started with a basic of each, drownyard and temple, the land type duals, evolving wilds, terramorphic expanse, flooded strand, flood plain, and demotion field as fetches. We then doubled basically to have more basics than fetches at a minimum. We then added the karoo lands, as necromancers best friends, which added more basics. Coral atol is particularly good with elesha, so that one too. We then needed to guarantee more fetches, so traveler's amulet. Moonsilve rwas close but too much. Teferi makes the cut at this point, as he is great with these 2 mana lands, is good for the deck and defendable, and the ultimate is a very Adam way of playing. Needing this many basics does proclude cyclers, and we added 2 more to got to 38 land as we have 34 la do we actually play out our opener with no context. We needed some layers of duals to fix us, so filter lands, the new tango, and pain lands. We get two spots for random utility, so we picked the best in academy ruins and slayer's stronghold. Ruins can let us flash in artifacts with Alesha and abuse effects. Stronghold is just good with elesha straight up. There are many other land tools that may work in depending on the packages we use. We also added terrarian As it adds fixing, is great on all fronts with Elsha.

Next stop is to make Elsha functional. We will not be an all in storm deck, but we can still have chops. Mostly want to play a good stuff deck, using Elsha as very interesting CA and info that changes our tools uses. Still want run at least 10 1 drops, which we already have 2, and any singletons that are particularly good with Elsha. After some evolution, it seems difficult to even go partially on this path. Perhaps at the end a pike might make the mix, but doubtful. Angelfire ignition seems like one of the few inclusions in this vein that might stick. So we play Elsha as CA, library manipulation, and enabling instant speed plays. This puts us more into the reactive control side of things. We also are filling out our spellshapers recursion options, so it seems we have lots of little creatures not meant for combat.

We leaned into the reanimation side of things. Spurmage advocate, teshar, adarkar Valkyrie, goblin welder, Hanna, and Serra paragon lead the way, and many of the other creatures are enabled by them. We then play some good stuff and support. Large package of miracle cards which we use well. Mind's dilation, grimoir of the damned, and Serra Avatar/nahiri are flavorful hallmarks for me. Ancestors chosen should do a good archangel impression. Other flavorful are little Mishra and Urza, might be the first deck to play them, and they are so flavorful for me. With sindbad, millikin, and deranged assistant, we have great support that gets super charged with Elsha in play.
