sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and sideboard stuff to counter it..you cant have this type of deck be 100% good against everything on the main board

id take out Mizzium Skin for Celestial Flare , then since you have 2 spaces open, 1 more flare, and 1 more Detention Sphere

acousticcancer i was actually planning on taking out Mizzium Skin , Celestial Flare is a great substitute.

When sideboarding, what would u take out to put in? Azorius Charm .

Hey man, I love your deck idea and I've actually been building a similar deck but with boros color identity.Red-stained white. if you want to check it out. To be honest, I think nyxborn shieldmate should be swapped out for spirit of the labyrinth (another enchantment creature), as it's a 3/1 for 1W, or favored hoplite which is a W 2/1 with heroic +1/+1 and can be a backup incase you don't topdeck or have a fabled hero.

piexil Hey, I like your deck! However, I think that we are going in some different directions. After testing out my deck at FNM, I took out the Favored hoplite since they never did much for me. I added in more Hopeful Eidolon because I learned that lifelink is HUGE against a lot of decks. I will definitely consider Spirit of the Labyrinth since I really like the 3/1 two drop. I will have to see how the play testing works. The times that I won commandingly, I dropped a eidolon turn one and used Ethereal Armor and a series of other enchantments to absolutely wreck the opponent while gaining a bunch of life. I have slowly veered away from the heroic triggers (still a sub theme though). My deck works better when enchantments are on the board.

slooperman, okay! I just started building mine and am doing play testing. I'll defiently give more Hopeful Eidolon 's a try. I actually took out my hero of iroas, but they're still on the side in case I ever want to put them back in, and that could make a big difference in cost for bestow. Also, have you considered side boarding Fiendslayer Paladin ? It can help when play those damn mono-black devotion decks with a lot of removal.

piexil I havent simply because I havent wanted to pay for it lol. But I may start considering it if MBD becomes a problem. The only one I played, I won relatively easily.

If you enjoy playing an aura deck that is blue and white you should you Meletis Astronomer . He can really quick at a fast pace and also allow you to replace the enchantments you use up. Meaning you don not have to top deck as often.

rubiksman thanks for the input! However, I think that Meletis Astronomer will slow down my deck, but after some more playtesting, I will consider it.

Hey, you might want to add in Sphere of Safety because I think it would make this deck a LOT stronger, I have a similar deck Annoying Enchantment Deck if you have any ideas or want to take any ideas...

jfly517 hey, nice deck! I might definitely consider that. I am not sure how it will fit into the speed of the deck, though. I like the idea!
