It's 100 cards for a reason, free win against Jace.

This deck is a big engine, it doesn't require any card in particular to work, and anyway key cards like the Enigma Jewel are legendary, so you need less copies but you still want 4 copies in total for various reasons (free crafting fodder, replacement after removal and so on).

But most importantly, all these cards are absolutely needed to make tutors consistent: I'm talking about the Capenna lands, which aside from providing a constant stream of life gain are also the main reason I included the blue virtue (copy the reflexive trigger, not the etb!).

So, in blue you get life gain and ramp at the same time. Other colors are not needed anymore and you get the best consistency possible in the mana base. About sweepers: the stun counter/proliferation engine has proven surprisingly effective in my experience so far, I've had matches where opponents with Etali/Alara/Black Virtue simply couldn't do anything meaningful until I milled them to death.
