How it grades
Fundamentals 87/100. Plays like Enchantress and Voltron.
This reads as Enchantress · Voltron, built around Ellivere of the Wild Court. Every enchantment replaces itself: enchantress effects turn pillow-fort pieces, ramp auras, and removal into a card-drawing engine. The board becomes progressively harder to touch while the deck out-draws everyone. Slow starts are real, so mulligan toward an early draw engine. Ellivere of the Wild Court sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is land count (39 lands. About 37 fits this curve for Enchantress, with your cost reduction counted); the first thing to tighten is interaction: 8 removal/protection effects (want 11+ for Enchantress).
