Starting with a TLDR: deck is basically a Five Color Enchantress Token Control.

I had a Voltron deck with Bruna, Light of Alabaster which I decided to dismantle as it wasn't that fun anymore. However I got a liking for the enchantments themed deck and wanted to make a more versatile one, and what is more versatile than having access to five colors? \o/

Chose, tested and kept Golos, Tireless Pilgrim because:

  • has land tutoring (which helps gettings utility lands such as Bojuka Bog)
  • card recursion with his ability when I flood in mana and/or have an empty or bad hand to play

Golos is more of a support than an essential piece for the deck to keep rolling. Many games I've played he never left command zone because there was no need, but boy does he help when called upon. I try to avoid having spells with X or alternative costs (such as overload) cause they do not work that well with him.

So I decided to stick with a token theme as main source of agression and focused in flying ones when possible for the evasion. The deck does have a lot of responses and can deal with a lot of scenarios, which I like being a Jack of All Trades, Master of None. :)

As this deck is not that responsive (mostly permanents), Leyline of Anticipation does a great work in here.

PS: Golos might have been banned but rule 0 exists for this :) the best alternative I thought about for a 5-color commander would be The Prismatic Bridge to get some advantage with good creature and planeswalkers or even a ramp with Esika, God of the Tree  .

The sideboard are budget alternatives for Demonic Tutor, Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora as I can't have them in every deck.

Assemble the Legion, Awakening Zone, From Beyond, Court of Grace, Sigil of the Empty Throne, Archon of Sun's Grace, Kykar, Wind's Fury, Hallowed Haunting, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Tendershoot Dryad, Outlaws' Merriment, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar

There's also Ethereal Absolution. As it has mana activation costs and do other stuff, I use when needed (graveyard hate or a blocker). I do prefer to focus on the other ones for a constant token generation as they are triggered effects (apart from Elspeth) and I can use the mana for other purposes. And to improve token generation I use a Parallel Lives. Only one token doubler has proved enough.

Mirari's Wake, Ethereal Absolution, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

Also special thanks to Divine Visitation for turning a squishy 1/1 into a 4/4 flying vigilance threat.

Bojuka Bog, Ethereal Absolution, Rest in Peace

The more you play, the more you notice that graveyard hate is quite often needed.

Muldrotha, the Gravetide, Hall of Heliod's Generosity, Volrath's Stronghold, Replenish

I used Hanna, Ship's Navigator and besides being squishy, didn't perform that well. Muldrotha has a bigger body and can even give me access to other stuff. And the lands are great because I can tutor with Golos. :)

Awakening Zone, Fertile Ground, From Beyond, Trace of Abundance, Kykar, Wind's Fury, Arcane Signet, Chromatic Lantern, New Horizons, Carpet of Flowers, Sol Ring, Smothering Tithe, Fellwar Stone, Birds of Paradise, Sanctum Weaver

Many mana ramps are high CMC but the Five Color filtering is an issue which I have to deal with and there's the deck flavor to them. I like to use enchantments mana ramps for extra triggers, but I focus on the ones which generates all colors. As some lands enters tapped and the ramp/filters are not all low CMC, we do start kinda slow sometimes.

Archon of Sun's Grace, Sythis, Harvest's Hand

Life gain here is not very agressive, is more of a possibility if we are desperate. Archon can though gain lots of life if kept on board.

Energy Field, Ghostly Prison, Privileged Position, Sterling Grove, Karmic Justice

Tokens dying do not trigger Energy Field so thats quite nice. With Rest in Peace in the battlefield it only leaves if directly destroyed.

Demonic Tutor, Idyllic Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Sterling Grove, Zur the Enchanter, Wargate, Golos, Tireless Pilgrim, Eladamri's Call

Unfortunatelly Vampiric Tutor is expensive and is not available so I use Wargate, but as the deck has a lot of permanents it works quite well. Golos can tutor for utility lands.

Purphoros, God of the Forge

Red is few in the deck but is well-served.

Suggestions

Updates Add

Removed: Alela, Artful Provocateur, The Locust God, Coalition Relic

Added: Sigil of the Empty Throne, Hallowed Haunting, New Horizons

Chaning some good card for enchantment alternatives for better sinergy. The Locust God when I draw like crazy is a great pressure, but so is an Angel 4/4. The Sigil feels more consistent and sinergetic. Alela was fine, so I'm trying Hallowed Haunting for more sinergy of being an enchantment and possibly more pressure. I like very much Coalition Relic but as said, an enchantment ramp that filters for every color feels better.
