Basically to attack hard with big flying enchantment creatures and then recur them with Auramancers, Odunos River Trawlers for value. I really like the idea, cheap and possibly good. My 3rd deck on MTG tapped out.
Hopeful Eidolon is a good start. Having a critical mass of enchantments on the field is good for Ethereal Armor later and can also be return if it goes to the graveyard. Later in the game, bestow to either
Herald of Torment
,
Master of the Feast
or
Eidolon of Countless Battles
to win races, and heal the dmg from Herald of Torment.
Baleful Eidolon
works well with first strike of ethereal armor, gum down ground creatures, and can bestow on creatures later on if needed.
Brain Maggot is good against control decks. Stripping their hand of removals and field wipes makes it hard against your deck. Together with Thoughtseize to disrupt their hand.
Underworld Coinsmith
exceeds my expectations. The life gain is good with the herald of torment. It's ability lets me use up my mana late game. Bestow with herald to kill freshly cast elspeth.
Spirit of the Labyrinth combos well with master of the feast. Stoping your opponents from drawing that extra card and against any card drawing spell.
Nyx-Fleece Ram rectifies the dmg from herald of torment. It also is good against fast aggro, burn and great blocker. When bestowed with
Baleful Eidolon
, can be annoying.
Spiteful Returned
is for slow match ups. When the field is gummed up, bestowing it on
Baleful Eidolon
, returning it with
Odunos River Trawler
or just attack with Gift of Immortality is great.
Eidolon of Countless Battles
can grow huge in the deck and can be bestowed quite cheaply. WIN CON
Herald of Torment
gives evasion, power, bestow and another WIN CON
Master of the Feast
--evasion, power, WIN CON. The drawback can be rectified by Spirit of the Labyrinth.
Auramancer
and
Odunos River Trawler
.They hold the deck together giving it incredible resilience against any removal that does not exile. Odunos is basically a 2 for one. Auramancer can also return most nonland card in the deck from the grave.
Auramancer also combo well with
Font of Return
. Font of return can return auramancer to hand and vice versa. Its like a nice recycling effect to return all your creatures back to your hand and grind the opponents resources.
Another idea is Gift of Immortality with
Odunos River Trawler
. It can sacrifice itself to get back TWO Enchantment creatures. It also works well with all the WIN CONS, and is an enchantment. An immortal deathtouch
Baleful Eidolon
or Nyx-Fleece Ram is cool too.
Another really cool idea is to combine Gift of Immortality with
Keening Apparition
. Imagine you gunning down all their enchantment creatures each turn while the gift of immortality returns Keening apparition to the field. Crazy sideboard option.
Banishing Light is good against the plains walkers and Gods.
Ethereal Armor is crazy in the deck. Works well with almost everything.
Soul Tithe
is a cheap removal to tax opponents lands and creatures. Can be returned with Auramancer.
For sideboard..
Devour Flesh
is for the hexproof match up
Dont need to tell you how good is thoughtseize and heros downfall.
The average converted mana cost is LOW. The highest cost is only 3. Makes it more consistent, less lands, more threats. The additional mana late game can be used to bestow. Bestowing in itself makes it even more resistant to removals and creature battles. Best part about this? Most cards are theros block. When cash available, will try improving lands.
What do you think? Suggestions? cool? I'm excited to try it out.
