My take on Nyx Fit, first described (as far as I know) in this reddit thread by /u/square_two.

The name is a play on Nic Fit, of course, and one of the main engines in the deck, Starfield of Nyx. It plays a very controlling game. There's a lot of tutorability through both Academy Rector and Green Sun's Zenith, and once you set up Starfield with a Sterling Grove or a Pernicious Deed in the graveyard, you're pretty much home free.

  • Pharika, God of Affliction + Starfield of Nyx -- Starfield makes your enchantments into creatures with P/T equal to CMC. The snakes are also enchantments, but with 0 cmc. You can't have 5 enchantments out with snakes (which are included in the 5).
  • I took out a Sensei's Divining Top, because I'd usually rather be doing something else. I tried a version without any Tops, but one does come in handy when digging for a piece sometimes.
  • GSZ doesn't have a lot of great targets, so I lowered it to 3. Sometimes it's useful for getting a Deathrite Shaman or Veteran Explorer.
  • I added a Sigil of the Empty Throne for another wincon and some air blockers.
  • I added an Argothian Enchantress, in part because of the lack of good GSZ targets. I'm not entirely sure about her, though, and think maybe she'd be better as an Oblivion Ring or so.
  • I was always boarding in the Curse of Death's Hold, so I just maindecked it.
  • I don't really understand the Carpet of Flowers, so I tossed it. We usually have so much ramp through Veteran Explorer anyway, it seemed superfluous. I used those spots for a Qasali Pridemage as a GSZable LotV/RiP remover, an extra Leyline of Sanctity, and a flex spot (currently testing Nissa, Vital Force).
  • I added Pharika, God of Affliction for a few reasons. First, he's tutorable with GSZ. Second, he can make deathtouch snakes with all the Explorers you toss in the ground, which are useful for blocking giant Tarmogoyfs and Gurmag Anglers and such. Third, it's not terribly hard to hit the devotion since a lot of our enchantments have double color cost, in which case you have another 5/5 beater that's indestructible as a bonus.
