4 Bant Charm
4 Essence Scatter
2 Negate
3 Path To Exile

Basic Lands
5 Forest

Lands
3 Glacial Fortress
4 Misty Rainforest
3 Seaside Citadel
4 Sunpetal Grove
2 Verdant Catacombs
This build is a little different from what I’ve seen around the net. Lotus Cobra gives you a unique opportunity to be able to play a cheap dude while leaving countermagic/removal mana up. I couldn’t find room for Finest Hour in here, but the resiliency that the counters provide makes up for the busty wins out of nowhere that are so common with Finest Hour. I’m also not sure that Jhessian Infiltrator is the best option without Finest Hour, but they always kill him so it’s kind of hard to tell.
Elspeth gives Lotus Cobra some value as a 5/4 flying beater, but I’d really like to find room for Garruk Wildspeaker. Finding a way to give the Cobra/Hierarch decks some value later on is very important, and Behemoth Sledge is another option to keep in mind later on.
