I don't need Forbidden Orchard, my mana base is great and this card gives Wasteland another target. Also I can't enchant it with Utopia Sprawl, which would be really a problem.Defense of the Heart seems really funny. Maybe I'll give it a try, but most Legacy decks doesn't run that much creatures.

Use Ghostly Prison instead of Elephant Grass, it may cost 3 but then once it's out it's over.

Well, vs. many Decks it's too slow. And in this Deck Elephant Grass lets me often draw 2 or more cards for just 1 mana.

the thing is that Elephant grass slows down your progress after turn 2, because of the cumulative upkeep. I think its worth the extra mana to have it be permanent.

I know that your deck is designed to go fast and become indestructible quickly, but because you're playing so many enchantments, you might consider Sigil of the Empty Throne as an alternate wincon (i.e. each time you cast an enchantment, you get more angels until, eventually, you can overwhelm the enemy).

Something else to consider for card advantage might be the lowly Mana Bloom, which can be cast with X=0 so that it returns to hand every turn, and giving your Argothian Enchantress and Enchantress's Presence yet another trigger each turn.

Also, if you'd like to get some more blockers or attackers out there, but aren't drawing your invulnerability enchantments, a good alternative might be to include Myth Realized. Also, rather than Green Sun's Zenith, which is a risky move with only 5 creatures in your deck, you might consider something that brings you enchantments such as Plea for Guidance, although that card does have a high mana cost for little immediate return.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I played Sigil of the Empty Throne in an older version of this deck, but it wasn't that good. GSZ is so important, because it gives me the carddraw I need to close the game quickly. Mana Bloom seems interesting, I'll give it a try. Myth Realized is a target fo spot removal, so i.e. STP isn't a dead card anymore and Plea for Guidance is to slow for legacy.

Hello sir,If you want to, you can have a look at my actual enchantress decklist. It is a little bit different from yours but has certainly the same gameplan :-)

best regards,

Hello Sir,

regarding the emrakul:

I guess it is hard to cast it unless you have an serras sanctum in play and another one in hand, is that right?I also like your list, it is more straightforward then mine, although it has a little bit less flexibility :-) Have you tried one savannah and two more green fetches yet? I play 6 fetches and sometimes I even wonder if seven wouldn't be better... It may not sound much, but since this deck draws so many cards it is a big value gain to reduce the number of basics you can draw! and they help alot with mirris guile.

And one savanna doesn't hurt you, maybe your purse though :D

Why don't you run any Savannah?

July 17, 2017 7:47 p.m.

baermudas says... #11

Because it's a target for Wasteland and I don't want to lose a with Wild Growth enchanted Savannah.

So this deck seems like it is pretty solid but there are two cards I'd recommend. Whispersilk Cloak and Strionic Resonator.The resonator could help to get 2 extra turns when Emrakul lands.

Well, I think when Emrakul lands, the game is even without these artifacts over ;).

Strange that you run a version of the old GW variety. Why not the more tested 4 color Words of Wind/Candelabra of Tawnos and Doomwake Giant one?
