Moonlit Elves

Elf 9: 65% evasion, and every dodge fires back a mirrored attack.

Elf is the deepest race (13 normal units). Elf 3/6 stack to 65% evasion, and at 9 each dodge conceals the Elf and sends the attacker's own attack back at the enemy. Phantom Assassin, Templar Assassin and Morphling add Assassin 3 crits; Furion + Treant give Druid 2 for cheap upgrades.
