A Tatsunari, Toad Rider Enchantments deck with only a single instant and/or sorcery: Primal Surge. This restriction allows us to run what's essentially a one-card combo. By casting Surge, we flip through our deck until we find a nonpermanent card, but since everything in our deck is a permanent we put everything onto the battlefield. With cards like Grim Guardian, Courser of Kruphix, and Dina, Soul Steeper, we should hopefully be able to drain our opponents to death. To prevent our own enchantress effects from drawing us to death, we have cards like Abundance, Underrealm Lich, and Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar to prevent us from losing to an empty library.

And if that's too unrealistic of a wincon for you, then the classic Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond combo can also do the trick.

And if that's too unrealistic of a wincon for you, then suiting up Tatsunari with Helm of the Gods, Nettlecyst, and/or Ancestral Mask should lead to quick commander damage kills thanks to his ability to become nigh unblockable in combat.

Other Notable Inclusions:

Whip Silk and Shimmering Wings allow you to repeatedly trigger your enchantress and Constellation effects for 2 mana per trigger.

Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Phyrexian Tower, Greater Good, and Sidisi, Undead Vizier allow you to sacrifice your Keimi token for value. The mana ones in particular are nice because you can often use that mana to cast an enchantment and bring Keimi right back.

Leyline Immersion can lead to some fast wins. Turn 3 Tatsunari, Turn 4 Immersion with ward 2 up, Turn 5 Primal Surge or Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood.
