Notes:
My thoughts are to gain enough life to survive until elspeth wins the game with blood baron as a backup win con...haven't had time to play test yet but I feel like it's missing some key pieces...all thoughts on main deck and/or sideboard welcome

With only 2 {elspeth the sun champion} you're very prone to {thoughtseize} especially if this is your only win-con. Further-more black runs lifebanes which will strip your creatures and more importantly your blood barons.

The life gain approach may just leave you with a big 100 hp to quickly dwindle through.

I'd cut the {elixir of immortality} it's debatable that it's help you against {thoughtseize} but I'd swap to a better base removal package similair to the current orzhov control. {extinguish all hope} may backfire as the eidolon in green as mono green/junk constellation decks are gaining popularity.

Just a couple of thoughts interesting approach and burn decks will hate you for sure! Feel needs slight main deck tweaks. And perhaps your sideboard will mold to aid.


Removal:

{ultimate price}
{drown in sorrows} I feel with the constellation craze this will be a great sideboard at min.
{bile blights}
{thoughtseize} your life gain aids.

The answer may be as simple as pump to three elspeth and cut a god as you don't play too many creatures where an opponent may be willing to pay 3 life as you have no immidiate threats.
