If you've seen my other decks, you can tell I enjoy reanimation decks. And I particularly enjoy the idea of reanimation using White sources.

This is a sort of Death and Taxes, with a lot of basis on enchantments, using Starfield of Nyx to make them creatures, and do damage.

I'm trying to build this deck so that it has lots of cycles. Sterling Grove can fetch any enchantments, so if I can get Greater Auramancy and Privileged Position, I can make things hexproof, and once I can get a copy of Avacyn, Angel of Hope, I can give everything shroud and indestructible.

Sun Titan can repeatedly retrieve Sterling Grove, and many other valuable enchantments and creatures that can be sacrificed for a profit like Sakura-Tribe Elder.

And generally, the idea of the build is to make it harder for my opponents to play. Blind Obedience keeps things locked down, Sheoldred, Whispering One makes opponents have to play creatures carefully.
