One of the key strategies using this deck is the abuse of looping Angelic Renewal coupled with Auramancer.
Since the deck is a slow starter, the caster would often find himself on the defensive early in the duel. Assuming he has both cards in the battlefield:
Defend with Auramancer with the intention of letting it die. It is of no importance if it kills the attacker or not, as long as potential damage from attacker(s) are kept to a minimum.The death of the Auramancer will trigger Angelic Renewal and therefore upon sacrificing this enchantment, you return Auramancer to your hand.Summoning Auramancer will fetch you back Angelic Renewal (or any other enchantment, depending on what is best for the casters current situation), thus regaining the same defensive setup in which, under normal circumstances, effectively usurps attackers without the caster having to waste any of the two spells. This combo also allows the caster to benefit from Enchantress's Presence draw abilities, especially if there is more than one present in the battlefield
The Auramancer is a very important player in this strategy as she can return enchantments to the casters hand if they were unfortunately destroyed and sent to your graveyard.
If the above strategy still proves lacking in defending your life from your opponent, certain precautions can also be used such as Briar Patch, which would weaken attackers, make sure to put them in place as early as possible, being doubly efficient to cast it if Enchantress's Presence is already in the battlefield.
A couple of non-enchantment spells has also been listed as a defensive precaution such as Embolden. Its flashback capabilities allows it to be casted twice, either from the casters hand or his graveyard. It prevents damage from creatures or the casters themselves. Sometimes, a caster has been badly wounded and will needed to be healed, this is where Dawnglow Infusion comes in. If the caster pays both white and green mana to cast it, he will gain double the life-gaining effects. These of course, are limited and should be used wisely.
And now we come as to how to inflict the pain on the opponent. A particular enchantment Ive mentioned earlier, Enchanted Evening, is also of vital importance in effectively wiping out everything on the battlefield, including the casters, if used incorrectly. Casting Calming Verse will strip the opponent of all his resources on the battlefield. It would take considerable time before the opponent recovers, giving the caster considerable time to finish the duel.
The caster should always remember to exhaust his controlled lands before casting Calming Verse while Enchanted Evening is in play as not to harm his own permanents.
Other spells that would destroy permanents enchanted by Enchanted Evening would be the Elvish Lyrist (can be reanimated through the use of Angelic Renewal) and Aura Fracture, which stays limited as it may deplete so much of the casters resources if relied upon too much. Only used it as an alternative or if there are expendable lands.
Of course there is always that danger of overloading ones self with the draw engine. Your library would be in constant danger of being empty later in the duel. One copie of Gaea's Blessing and one Dwell on the Past will ensure to patch up this flaw, but its even better if we have the mana for Words of Worship to counterbalance the lifeloss over time. Path to Exile will also help to kill threats. the right moment to play this spell is before we resolve Calming Verse, because we don't want to ramp our newly stripped enemy.
If the strategy worked well, the opponent will stagger against the tiny creatures this deck has to offer but victory can be swift using Serra Angel.
Credit goes to paniccoffee for the concept.
