My former Treva, the Renewer turnedTuvasa the Sunlit deck now re-purposed for the glory of the coven. The theme is witches, the path is enchantress, and the win is combo. Early game ramp, enchantress engine to draw tons of cards midgame, and try to overwhelm the endgame with some combos. Once we're at a good point in the game, we can go shields up and/or Humility out. We slow people down until we can Opalescence and Parallax Wave, then beat them all down. Hallowed Haunting to get some muscle to smack some peeps.

This concept was born from the time I was talking to my friend about how my Tuvasa Enchantress felt a bit too uninteractive and unfun. A few days later the topic of curses and how they felt underutilized in our playgroup came up. I believed enchantresses, ramp, and green recursion could complement a W/B curse strategy very well. Two and two connected and a few changes later, we had a new deck! At the time, we’ve hung up the hat on the curse subtheme. Will it return? Time will tell.

Always looking for general improvements. Let me know what you think!

The curses are a fun bunch, but I’m cutting them. They’re usually pretty mean spirited against the singular person they target. Until next time, for now they’ll sit in a sideboard binder…

That being said, here’s the changes:

Enchantress Changes:

OUT >>> IN

  1. Skyshroud Claim >>> Earthcraft - I’ve been considering Earthcraft for a while. And since I had one sitting in my trades, I thought, why not? It’s one of my favorite cards ever, and even without silliness like Squirrel’s Nest, it’s still a powerhouse.

  2. Cruel Reality>>> Lethal Vapors - I’m doing the stupid combo that I’ve been contemplating for a while now. It requires three specific cards, but it’s funny as hell. First, you need Lethal Vapors, Krosan Grip, and Teferi's Protection in your hand. Once that’s done, you need about ten mana or so. Cast Lethal Vapors. Hold priority. Use the ability of Lethal Vapors to skip your next 4738589399294839 turns. Hold priority each time, which you’ll be able to do as the active player. While holding priority afterwards, cast Teferi's Protection and Krosan Grip. The grip should target the Lethal Vapors. Now, you should phase out and be unable to die until everyone else decks themselves out. Laugh.

  3. Curse of Death's Hold >>> Hallowed Haunting - And while I’m on it, Sigil of the Empty Throne is on the short list of adds. If I can’t curse, then I’ll smack down. Might even consider Luminarch Ascension and pretend it’s 2015 again.

  4. Curse of Exhaustion >>> Bloom Tender - That Jen Bartel art… oh boy yeah. With Tymna, she taps for 3, and alone she taps for 1. Seems like it’s a staple in 3+ color green decks that’s been long overdue.

  5. Torment of Scarabs >>> Faeburrow Elder - Giving it a whirl to see how it goes. We like big ramp and this dude makes 3 with our commander.

  6. Trespasser's Curse >>> Flickering Ward - Evasion and protection that can double as card draw with the enchantresses. Throw it on Tymna so she can smack in for some card draw.

  7. Curse of Misfortunes >>> Krosan Grip - See the Lethal Vapors change. Note, I’m also considering City of Solitude, Grand Abolisher, and Dragonlord Dromoka as other ways to ensuring safety on my turn.

  8. Curse of Thirst >>> Jukai Naturalist - This could go for something else. We’ll play around and see. May be better served as something else, however.

Aesthetic Upgrades, (pretty cardboard square make big happy)

  1. Dryad of the Ilysian Grove - Borderless art upgrade.

  2. Mythos of Nethroi - Extended art upgrade.

  3. Mesa Enchantress - Jen Bartel art upgrade.

  4. Sanctum Weaver - Extended art upgrade
