This deck takes advantage of pillow-fort style enchantments and creatures, and it seeks to protect the player through taxing opponents until the player has a couple of explosive turns and destroys everyone else. The one-drop enchantments are a really big part of this deck, and as I've been adding more, I've come to find that I can go through my entire deck in a game. For this reason, I am considering Elixir of Immortality because I often get to the point of using Abundance to stop draws. The enchantresses available thanks to the 2019 set and the Commander sets make sure that card drawing is rarely an issue in this deck. It is very common for this deck to speed through itself and deck itself, which is why Abundance is such an important card. Auramancer, Creeping Renaissance, Monk Idealist and Tragic Poet are all there to make sure that Abundance doesn't leave the board for too long and leave you vulnerable. Bare in mind that this is a casual deck with a vaguely competitive spark, in that it is made to control and win games, but it is also made with fun in mind. Due to this I added some more unusual enchantments like Energy Flux and Zur's Weirding. Even though they're not fantastic cards, I tend to rotate them in and out and swap them around just so the deck has a bit more variance and is a bit more interesting to use and play against. If you are a player hoping to win every game ruthlessly and efficiently, I'd expect you to take out such enchantments.
In general, the tactic for this deck is to build up pillow-fort defenses and wait for that explosive turn. Generally the player would want to play passively, building up a slow wall of protective enchantments and maybe dropping a couple of creatures infrequently, then doubling or tripling mana out of nowhere to explode through a turn and win almost immediately. This deck is supposed to be unpredictable and strange, and building up such defenses allows the suspension of predictability. I am planning on adding Psychic Corrosion back into the deck when I figure out a way to incorporate mill more accessibly in the deck, as this is an avenue I had attempted before with some minor success.
This deck takes advantage of pillow-fort style enchantments and creatures, and it seeks to protect the player through taxing opponents until the player has a couple of explosive turns and destroys everyone else. It uses Baird, Steward of Argive, Collective Restraint, Dissipation Field, Ever-Watching Threshold Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety, Windborn Muse and a couple of other cards to start building up incentives to not attack. While building defences, the player uses Mesa Enchantress, Enchantress's Presence, Tuvasa the Sunlit, Verduran Enchantress, Bequeathal, Standstill, Dictate of Kruphix, Yavimaya Elder, Mystic Remora, Satyr Enchanter and Zendikar Resurgent in an attempt to draw into one of the more powerful cards of the deck.
The win conditions of the deck are present in the form of Sigil of the Empty Throne, Luminarch Ascension, Ajani's Chosen and Dictate of Karametra/Zendikar Resurgent with Estrid's Invocation, which seek to dump tons of tokens onto the board and create lots of mana to cast more enchantments with. The enchantments in this deck have been selected to serve as a series of recurring passive benefits, and they creep onto the board to give the player more perks and more benefits as the game progresses. The aim of the deck is to overpower enemies with such a large quantity of passive perks, and destroy them all while protecting itself with pillow-fort tactics. Usually a player can copy one of the mana doublers with Estrid's Invocation and have that explosive turn, with the deck having reached over 60 mana available in one turn on more than one occasion. Opponents rarely expect such an explosive turn from a slow moving deck like this, and it is usually with this explosive storm of angels that the player triumphs. I am trying to adapt the deck to also perform a mill win, using Psychic Corrosion and Sphinx's Tutelage with Prosperity, Skyscribing and Fascination. This has not been fully executed yet, and I will see if this works once I've implemented it.
  • This deck is constantly under construction. It will be updated almost weekly as new cards are added to it. It is classed as a budget deck, so I will do my best to keep it budget. Since I am constantly adding to this deck and the power level is creeping up slowly, I cannot guarantee that this deck will remain at a constant budget, and I cannot guarantee that the budget will not increase with time.
