Okay, let's see how many of these I can address.

EpicFreddi I believe that if multiple people control an Archetype of Endurance, they each negate the other's hexproofing. Also, my creatures have hexproof from Leonin Abunas + Mycosynth Lattice . Cyclonic Rift is listed under Mirari as a card that can get through.

zephramtripp: Djinn Illuminatus does work as an enabler. I'm not sure what the ruling on Decree of Pain would be, since it's still an activated ability, but Mycosynth Lattice doesn't turn cards in hand into artifacts. I'm going to tentatively say that this works. I believe that Darksteel Mutation + Starfield of Nyx does not work, since even though you're not casting the enchantments, they still need to target. As for Teferi's Realm, if you choose artifacts or creatures, it creates numerous openings. It's going in the list.

Rothon: Good call on Bane of the Living, but it's one I had already noted.

Iehovah: Sphinx of the Final Word does get through Erayo's Essence. A couple of people have suggested adding Knowledge Pool alongside Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, which would protect against this. Deck update in the very near future.

chaosumbreon87: As just mentioned, I'm going to officially switch Erayo's Essence for Knowledge Pool. Boseiju, Who Shelters All + Upwelling will act as a catalyst without it. With Abyssal Persecutor + Assault Suit , I didn't make any provisions for time, but the ultimate result is that it's not a loss for me. I like the thinking, though. How are you going to get the Hellkite Tyrant around Blazing Archon? Thing in the Ice  ^Flip works at the moment, but I'll give you credit when I add Xenograft.

I wasn't expecting this many responses this quickly. Looks like everyone likes a chance to poke holes in stuff :) Keep the ideas coming!
