My gut is that you're following your concept too closely. There are several non-enchantment creatures which probably belong here.

You might want to try Blightcaster . You have plenty of synergy with your enchantments, but none of the effects are big enough to make much difference. Gain one life and everyone loses one life? At least this way you might get some initiative in combat or even some removal.

Also, Treasury Thrull would not be bad, either, as enchantment decks tend to fair poorly in the card advantage department. If you think that's too expensive mana-wise, you can also use Odunos River Trawler .

Yes, These are the recommendations im looking for, The Blightcaster and the River Trawler would work out awesome in here

rokeni That will definitely be a sideboard. Cmc might be a little too high but it's definitely worth playtesting

Josijo, this deck is tagged as a Standard deck. The suggestions you offered are illegal.

Josijo Neat suggestions for a modern deck, Which I might just make. Standard Enchantment deck might be a bit hard to pull of consistently and competitively

You need 2-3 Doomwake Giant in here. You just can't go wrong with that kind of power in this kind of a deck.

Caligula says... #9

Ah ha!, Yes this would be great in there.

Nice deck! I'm gonna add to the suggestions with Grim Guardian . Good defense and a slow bleeder. Combined with your Underworld Coinsmith I'm sure he'd be interesting. +1 :)

I had Grim Guardian in here to begin with!

I'm just not sure who to sacrifice for him.

Can't decide if I want to put in Karametra's Favor for cantrip or if I should switch up Brain Maggot for Ordeal of Erebos and pump up my other creatures.

Any suggestions?

You might be interested in Mana Bloom . It can ramp early for you and late game can trigger constellation every turn for just 1 green mana.

Beenan That's actually perfect. I totally just re-did this deck and i'll have to update this. But i'll definitely hunt a few of those down.

Thanks!

I know it's a higher cmc but what about Thoughtrender Lamia ? Combos well with a Brain Maggot with Gift of Immortality . Also would Athreos, God of Passage work amazingly I here? They destroy an enchantment then have to pick take three or let you get it back and constellation with everything again

Wolfninja says... #16

Pharika, God of Affliction , she'll let you recycle your dead creatures and trigger constellation again.

May 6, 2014 3:11 p.m.

Caligula says... #17

Wolfninja yes definitely! Pulled her in a pack and put her in this deck right away, I still just have to update all the changes I made

I'm actually building a similar deck. Have you considered Courser of Kruphix ? With her and an Underworld Coinsmith on the field, you gain life whenever you play anything, land or spell. +1 from me.

May 6, 2014 7:52 p.m.

Courser of Kruphix definitely needs to be in a 3 color Constellation deck. I would also swap the 2 Arrest for 2 more Banishing Light . They have the same CMC and Banishing Light is way better since you can banish Planeswalkers and other permanents. Also, you need at least 22 to 23 lands in a 3 color deck, even with Sylvan Caryatid. I would drop Armament of Nyx for land (less black mana, more white mana, your balance is a bit off). +1

Caligula says... #20

I totally agree Courser of Kruphix would work really well but just hard to find at the moment lol. But I still need to update the deck as I've totally reworked the mana base and ramp.

Yes, totally didn't notice that, arrest comes out!Thanks for the tips eslaton7751

May 8, 2014 11:40 a.m.

Glad to help! Yeah I was hard pressed to get my two copies of Courser as well.

Caligula says... #22

Here's a question if I use Armada Wurm and target it with Skybind would that cause it's effect to trigger?

May 8, 2014 5:23 p.m.

theseax says... #23

Yes it would

May 8, 2014 6:50 p.m.

Caligula says... #24

Perfect. Now to make room in here for a couple thanks theseax
