Enchanticore (4 color Constellation)

Standard

sk00kes


Sideboard


A fun yet competitive deck, overall winning record at FNM's. Other efforts in building a constellation deck pre-rotation circled me back around to settling upon this build Questions, comments, suggestions always welcome and appreciated.

A 4c midrange Enchantment deck, it's very grindy, plays a bit like a control deck. It's a bit tricky to pilot in that you want to get the most from the synergies, and not miss any triggers.

We have access to 5 colors but this is a 4C deck. All of our shocklands are green, many of the cards that enable us to fix our mana are green. The scry lands are all Black/White/Blue and will help us dig to fix. Mana Confluence as a land enables us to not have to fill card slots in order to color fix, Sylvan Caryatid fixes, ramps and is an incredibly effective defensive card. Mana Bloom also ramps, and synergizes triggering constellation.

Underworld Coinsmith will pad our life-total, but more importantly provides reach to finish an opponent with low life total.

Courser of Kruphix nice blocker, pad life total, enables us see our top card which can help guide better decisions.

Eidolon of Blossoms card advantage.

Pharika, God of Affliction Relevant ability creating enchantment tokens.

Doomwake Giant Elspeth defense, incredibly effective weakening opponents board, occasionally serves as a board wipe.

Fated Intervention Always a value card enabling 2 for 1's, and multiple constellation triggers in one spell.

Chromanticore bestow to make any creature an insane threat. If left unanswered you win...

Detention Sphere and Banishing Light removal.

Hero's Downfall Instant speed removal.

Sphinx's Revelation More life and a full hand of cards

Elspeth, Sun's Champion a board wipe, and finisher.


So far our sideboard...

Doom Blade Against decks where instant speed removal is better

Extinguish All Hope Possible one-sided board wipe against mid-range creature heavy decks.

Plasm Capture Coming in for control

Herald of Torment Whenever bringing in flying would be a good idea.

Blood Baron of Vizkopa Meta slot as way too many people play mono-black variants in my area.

Jace, Memory Adept Control and finisher for graveyard decks.

Nyx-Fleece Ram Aggro

Unflinching Courage Aggro

Go figure once, i get this deck completely dialed in, the new set approaches. i will likely run this deck out a few more times once M15 changes Standard, so depending on how the meta shifts it might still be viable. But with Hushwing Gryff and Back to Nature coming out and likely to see play in sideboards it doesn't really look promising. This deck needs synergies to pull ahead in card advantage and it needs time to do it. The introduction of these 2 cards and no cards that seem overpowering to compliment the deck from M15 leave me skeptical.
