My take on a Eidolon of Blossoms 'enchantress' deck
UPDATE: Decided to splash a 3rd color and now am trying to balance that out.
So lets go through a quick breakdown of the deck.
In case you dont know an Enchantress deck is essentially 'play an enchantment draw a card' and low and behold my surprise when they dropped Eidolon of Blossoms into the Journey to nyx Spoiler list.
So lets bring the hurt. The key cards:
Eidolon of Blossoms : Virtually every card that is placed onto the battlefield in this deck is an enchantment [save for the Archangel of thune, Ajani, and elvish mystic] if this beast is out, draw a card to replace said enchantment in your hand. Scary.
Eidolon of Countless Battles: This guy gets huge. really. quickly. Also letting you draw off of Eidolon of Blossoms.
Nyx-Fleece Ram
: lifegain, 0/5 body, walls for days lets you draw a card from Eidolon of blossoms... but no defender status? Suddenly that 0/5 is kicking its little hooves in rabid like sheep anger the second you slap an aura on it.
Courser of Kruphix: sweet sweet lifegain. Tough outershell, soft gooey enchantment creature inside. lets you get a peak at what cards will be flooding to your hand thanks to ms. Blossoms and lets you watch the hope drain from your opponents eyes as they too see what is coming next.
Hopeful Eidolon
: speaking of draining hope from your opponents eyes whats more terrifying than a little guy with lifelink. well Etheral Armor helps i suppose but bestow, lifegain, a nice little turn 1 whats not to love.
Archangel of Thune: and with all this lifegain what better way to stray from our enchantment only deck than with a creature that makes everything else you own- Huge! Sadly we cant quite abuse that +1+1 counter ability like you would be able to if Soul Warden and sisters were in standard but I can make due.
Ethereal Armor: The sweet icing on this enchantment deck Cake. First strike, beefy sheep, hope piercing eidolons, all it needs is trample... but thats for the sideboard to fix.
And a splash of black for:
Atheros, God of Passage
One of the biggest reasons im splashing black now, 3 drop 5/4 that even without being a creature keeps me drawing cards by looping them back into my hand. Yes please.
Grim Guardian: testing out 2 of these which on paper are fantastic in this deck. It just clutters up my 3 drop spot quite a bit so we shall see how it works out~
Ok enough of this attacking business what white green really needs is rediculus draw power right? Right.
Kruphix's Insight
: yada yada yada Yes i will draw 3 cards. Plain and simple
Ajani, Mentor of Heroes A mini garruk caller of beasts with a splash of ajani caller of the pride. its -8 is irrelevant becaue the game is 200 shades of over when this kitty sticks the landing.
Finally the allstar defense package:
sphere of saftey: aaaand lockdown kiddos. with 27 enchantments in the main board and a second copy good luck attacking with anything, Shame this life-gain goes right over your head Gray merchant because that was your only out.
=====
Sideboard is pretty up in the air. Im really a fan of Banishing light but the rest is just redundancy in this deck.
Let me know what you guys think. Suggestions are more than welcome but please try and keep replacements enchantment creatures, if there was an enchantment mana dork i would run it in a heartbeat, and the angel fits in here too nice to leave out.
[might splash black for Athreos, God of Passage but not sure quite yet]
