In my playgroup, there is the Group Hug, the Combo, the Tempo, the Mid Range. The Aggro, the Aristocrats, the Land Ramp, the Tribal. There is the Dredger, the Goodstuff, the Hatebears, the Infect.

They were not ready for my Pillow Fort/Stax.

I designed this deck to play into a meta that did not play heavily with enchantments. Other than the typical enchantment package you'd see for each theme, my meta did not run Enchantress. The advent of Commander 2018 bringing Estrid, the Masked or Tuvasa the Sunlit changed the meta very little. For me, Estrid's deck was a sign that Enchantress was something to design more of (even though the concept was already out there and popular in other circles). So, this was my answer to my group.

As the time went by, the original enchantress version if Pillow Fork with a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker win-con suite deteriorated my relationship with the play table. I was informed that they didn't enjoy being tapped out and overrun by hordes of Restoration Angel , Deceiver Exarch , or both, if a Splinter Twin made its way to the table; SO I decided to ground them, placing them on time out, and that when they're ready for me to play my combo shenanigans, I can break this deck down into it's previous iteration.

I've managed to escalate the hate so now everyone runs multiple iterations of enchantment hate, but I've been able to hold on by the skin of my teeth. The deck is still being tuned, tested with a separate play group that actively runs these types of stax mechanics, however budget is limiting, so I'm not super optimized as of yet. This is the culmination of about 4 years worth of deckbuilding.

Now, I've decided to go a step further, and am requesting assistance to anyone who wishes to assist.

To this decklist, I wish to drop 'Dad Jokes' for each card. I want to write on the inner sleeves (I double sleeve my decks), a small dad joke/pun, that I can read out every time I cast a non-basic land permanent.

Any and all input will be greatly appreciated.

Very little has changed since I finished this deck. I'm missing the OG Duals, to fully optimize its mana base for the early stages (as a Prismatic Omen will handle the late game).

Many enchantments have come out since Guilds of Ravnica, but I have not found one that could/should be included as of this time. Maybe Theros, Beyond Death will make me want to playtest it more with some tweaks from it's enchantment heavy deck.

At one point, I added Starfield Mystic, however as people know my deck, they didn't want me casting enchantments quicker so it became a target every time with removal, so the deck went back to the current configuration.
