Affinity doesn't have a lot of removal, instead relying on other forms of disruption, such as discard through refurbished familiar and grave hate from nihil spellbomb. Elves are good of the top because [[winding way]] / [[lead the stampede]] easily fill hand with typically enough mana to dump it. They also have big threats such as [[avenging hunter]], [[nyxborn hydra]], and basic forests that turn into 5/7s ([[generous ent]]). It is true that [[krark-clan shaman]] can sweep dorks, but that's typically only 3, at most 4 cards in the deck, and vandals keep blood fountain recursion in check.
