Rafiq of the Many Enchantments is an enchantment-themed Voltron deck built around protecting Rafiq with enchantments and pumping him with auras or exalted creatures and winning through commander damage, possibly after making him unblockable. If Rafiq were to become inaccessible due to tuck (if that rule is still being run in a playgroup), the commander tax being too high for the mana available, or from some other means such as a Pacifism or revoker effect, there are a few creatures that can take his place as the main attacker, and some of these (such as Novablast Wurm and Bruna) are really, really good at that job.

The deck came about from a Finest Hour and Rhox deck I had imagined as an early 60/4 multiplayer deck and ported over into Commander when I became aware of the format. Many effects in the deck are on enchantments rather than arguably more efficient card types, or are part of the exalted subtheme. To differentiate this deck from other decks I have, I focused on enchantment or white-green mana sources, like Knight of the Reliquary, and green recursion, like Genesis, rather than having too many repeats between this and my The Vast and the Furious deck, in particular.

I put a lot of thought into my card choices, even the basic lands. I selected my basic lands carefully to fit the themes of the deck. The 4 Forests, 4 Islands, and 4 of the Plains are from Shards of Alara, the block of Rafiq of the Many and the exalted cards which make up the deck's win condition. Another 4 Plains are from Urza's Saga, which had an enchantment theme, and the final 4 Plains are from Theros, which has an enchantment subtheme.

There are some changes I recently made that I will keep an eye on. I dropped Infiltrator's Magemark and Qasali Pridemage for One with Nature and Herald of the Pantheon to improve the mana in the deck, though One with Nature is at risk of being too sub-par for the deck's needs.
