Firstly, thanks for the Hive SBI!

Secondly, I think there is a lot we can do to optimize this deck. Scholar of Power can definitely come out. He's not that great, and more importantly, he's designed with a different deck in mind (spell boost). I'd also drop Erratic Portal and 1x Goblin. (I'd drop both, but I know you won't so let's compromise 😂).

I think you can get away with no ramp, but not without card draw. In short, I think you've over-tuned your deck to respond to a single card in Light. You could consider Safeguard, though.

Also, when you have ramp in the deck, you need to look for it in the mulligan. Sip of Elixir played turn 1 is huge. You spend 2 mana and easily get back 5+ extra mana over the course of the game. If you want to avoid Light's Levy, then I'd say put Sips back in. Magic needs to get to 6 mana ASAP to shut down aggro as they have no healing.

Just my .02.
