Thank you so much Kitsunemiku!!
I'm hoping to get back into the local tournament scene soon, so hopefully I'll have more for you to read sometime.

I have previously commented on this brew before and still love the brew and the philosophy. I have been brewing with the same concept and a card that I am using that may be of interest to you is Glittering Wish. A wishboard/sideboard comprising of answers like Detention Sphere, Privileged Position, Sigarda, Heron's Grace,Sigarda, Host of Herons,Dovescape to name a few can be pretty interesting... Admittedly though it can be a bit slow... But I felt it was worth revisiting this deck and mentioning.

I love Glittering Wish! I'm actually using a set in a Simic Biovisionary deck at the moment.

This deck is hilarious and your style is very amusing. Great work!
I suppose you've thought about stuff like this, but something I always wanted to try with Enchanted Evening was comboing the next turn with first Faith's Reward followed by a now-free Patrician's Scorn. Wipes out their entire side of the field and yours, but puts all your stuff right back.

I much prefer the Enchanted Evening + Heroic Intervention + Paraselene combo. Fr less mana to use AND you get life for each enchantment destroyed.
I have it in this deck Ultimate Bant Spring Cleaning which was originally based off of OPs deck haha.

I like your combination, Firebird. It's a lot of fun, but you could play Patrician's Scorn in the same turn you drop Enchanted Evening to uncomplicated the process.
All of these suggestions are interesting to play with. I still prefer Echoing Calm and Scour for heavy removal since I picked up the Snow Basic Lands.

boomycastle, If you know your opponent is playing Tron then you can trade out the 2 Fog on the main board for the extra Oblivion Ring and trade out one copy each of Sunbond and SpikeFeeder for the 2 Angel's Grace to give yourself more breathing room.
The general set-up will still work in a blind matc. So this is a way to ensure a strong second-hand (or third if you need it).
Further, it is actually easier to draw against Tron because that strategy, while it can be fast, is usually only trying to strike you directly. So in tournament play against this kind of deck I would ask my opponent how they did in the previous rounds. If they have the same points as you or less then a draw can be tactically sound.
To determine your points in a tournament (assuming it's a WotC event which uses the Swiss system) you get 3 points for winning a round and 1 point for drawing a round. If it's the finals then drawing forces an extra hand to be played until there is no longer a draw.

No, it's easier to draw but the probability that you'll win is the same as any other match-up.
Several opening-hand combinations will give you a win by turn 5 which means a Tron player has to spend their resources to stop you rather than to help themselves. If they focus on keeping their attacker buffed and protected then you are more likely to achieve a winning battlefield-state.

Not at all, thank you! I'm happy to see other players interested in this build.

We have too many bogle players, how does this handle that?

Switch these in from the sideboard:
2 Scour 2 Angel's Grace 2 Fog 2 Oblivion Ring 2 Echoing Calm
Replace these:One each of Ajani's Chosen, Blasting Station, Stuffy Doll, Pariah and Providence, as well as the three Spike Feeder and two Sunbond.
What you should try to do is use Scour on their lands as soon as you can, and try to get some creatures through to attack.

the Blasting Stations are a bit random. allot of board wipe and only 4 artifacts doing 1 dmg a piece at the cost of a creature. try Ixalan's Binding. exile one thing and prevent opponent from casting same spell as exiled thing.

Rurara_Rahura says... #17
ticked-off-squirrel, I think you need to read the deck description. Blasting Station does enough damage to end the game every time I use it.
June 26, 2018 10:55 a.m.
Have you ever considered using Aura Thief in this concept? Just curious, because with Enchanted Evening in play you could sac it to Blasting Station and gain control of all permanents; including lands.
July 20, 2018 11:43 a.m.
Wait nevermind, I don't think Aura thief is modern legal.

Names the deck "Diplomatic Immunity" and doesn't even have Diplomatic Immunity in the deck smh
July 28, 2018 10:09 p.m.
Rurara_Rahura says... #21
Ashletta I named the deck after Diplomatic Immunity because the main strategy is basically like giving the player and every permanent they control an emblem for Shroud.

After testing, the biggest issue I come across is the land count. I cant seem to consistently have enough land to play out the 4 and 5 mana spells.
November 28, 2018 11:15 p.m.
Rurara_Rahura says... #23
At 36%, this deck honestly has a higher land-ratio than other modern decks that I run.
Make sure you're shuffling well, and if you want to add a few more lands then keep in mind Snow-Covered Plains take priority over Snow-Covered Forest, and each land you add reduces the probabilities I've outlined by about 2%.
November 29, 2018 12:14 a.m.
I'm a little confused over the Gemstone Caverns. I get that its a fun little opening hand combo with Providence but since you only want and wouldn't some kind of dual land be better? I get that you get a one turn mana advantage in some cases but at the same time, with one Gemstone Caverns out, you can't play the other, potentially leaving a land stranded in your hand. The trick with Providence also costs you that card which you could use again later or even just keep in hand to avoid discards hitting combo pieces.
Is thereva benefit to

TheMr42, The two copies of these cards provide a 3% probability of opening the game with one or the other. I don't see a point in including them with less than that percentage (namely just over 1%), and both cards can improve my strategy's hit-rate by one full turn.
Having +1 mana on turn 1 means you can potentially win the game by turn 4 instead of turn 5, and it increases the chance for a draw by as much. Having 26 life to start similarly grants a one-turn buffer to make a play or protect my board.
Cashing Providence for Gemstone Caverns' effect allows me to benefit from both cards while not revealing any new information to the opponent and not sacrificing one of my combos pieces or supporting spells.

I absolutely love this deck! I created an account just to up vote it!
Enchanted Evening is my personal favourite when it comes to art. Great work! I plan to build something like this for an FMN.
