Also, if you chose the control route, you could add in a couple Knowledge Pool and Curse of Exhaustion, which when they are on the field together, it changes Knowledge Pool's function to "Your opponent can't cast spells". This is a much easier win-con for your deck, and it helps you with the enchantment-theme and the Curse boosts your Starfield of Nyx. If you use this, you can cut out your Replenish and Pull from Eternity as you won't be blowing up all your own creature-enchantments with Final Judgement.

Both suggestions sound great but I keep reading Knowledge Pool and Curse of Exhaustion. How does that translate into "Your opponent can't cast spells"? If I pull all of Replenish, Pull from Eternity, and Final Judgement I can see putting in the extra Pariah and a few Stuffy Doll's.
My concern is that this would diminish Starfield of Nyx's power since I would be adding more aura to the deck. If the combo of Knowledge Pool and Curse of Exhaustion really do cause my opponent to stop playing cards then the combo is a for sure addition.
I thank you for your input!

Yes, Knowledge Pool says "When a player casts a spell, that player exiles it." Which means you have to exile it. Then, "When that player does, he or she can cast a nonland card exiled with Knowledge Pool without paying it's mana cost". This means that through that whole process, a player casts 2 spells. The first spell is exiled by Knowledge Pool whether you like it or not. Then you can choose to cast the second spell. However, if your opponent is under Curse of Exhaustion, he or she can't cast their second spell. For a multiplayer option, you can use Rule of Law, except the downside is that you can't cast spells either, so you would have to gain your boardstate before you cast either the Pool or Rule of Law.

And if you're only playing one opponent at a time, you won't need to add any more than 2 or 3 Curse of Exhaustion and 1 or 2 Knowledge Pool

Oh I understand. It does not prevent the opponent from casting. It only prevents them from benefiting from Knowledge Pool. That is solid. This will keep the opponent from clearing my creature enchantments quickly without a board clear. I'll start updating the deck later today with some of your suggestions. This will also shave the deck cost by 30 dollars easy!
Thanks!

Stuffy Doll and upping your Pariah to a 2 or 3 of can be a nice pillow for you. You have a lot of creature boosts, which help your Starfield of Nyx, but you can cut a few of those down and replace them with more pillow/marshmallowy stuff.
