I won on trun 11 without attacking.

Sweet +1

So much enchantments I'd run a few Auramancer s side board if not mainboard. They'll come in handy for heavy counter/control decks.

The first thing I think when I look at the decklist is: "Why no Thoughtseize ?" Even 2 copies would be a huge benefit to the deck. I would replace the 2 Blind Obedience with 2 Thoughtseize . Blind Obedience is a better card in the sideboard, anyway.

I love the deck, +1 from me! I will do some testing later on.

+1 from me, as well. I agree with adding a couple Thoughtseize . It's just too good a card to be without.

Btw, you said you liked my deck, but you didn't +1 it. ;)

WOW! When I first commented on this deck I was like, This looks interesting, but it wouldn't lead to much. Now its THE 4TH DECK ON TAPPED OUT. Holy Hyphens WTF

Feels like it needs a few more lands with this pretty high curve. I would go 26 lands instead of 24 to make it a little more consistent with the starting hands.

this curves out at 5 markbass

I love it! The main concern I have is the Nykthos. It's legendary so you can't have two on the field at once, right? Land destruction is definitely a thing but I don't know if it's enough to gamble an essentially dead card on, right?

Beyond that, I can SEE the pain just through the first few cards, largely cards I wasn't even aware of!

I see you have an Auramancer in the side. Have you considered using Odunos River Trawler ? it only gets enchantment creatures but it can get 2 of them.

Markbass, I agree with MAGESTIC_LLAMA because not only does my deck use cards with a cmc of 5 or less, but my average cmc is a low 2.78 at the moment, whereas most decks are above 3

Faust-the-Walker, thanks man! As for nykthos, it was really just an afterthought to be honest- for those times when I'm stuck with 2 lands, a bunch of low-cost creatures, and a couple of high-cost cards in hand that I want to get out. Otherwise, I try to use it to get off Underworld Coinsmith 's ability a few times a turn when my hand gets empty. I understand where you're coming from, but it really isn't an essential part of the deck, and it can help in a pinch.

thebeej, unfortunately, I haven't considered Odunos River Trawler because I have less creatures than plain enchantments, plus...he's not an enchantment, so he'd have to be awesome to include him...

Guys, should I maybe go down to 23 lands so I can add another Banishing Light ???

Have you considered 2x Underworld Connections instead of the Blind Obedience ? It give more devotion for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and gives you card advantage. Also, importantly, it's still an enchantment.

I would definitely not do down to 23 lands. 24 is the best number for decks curving out at 5, in my experience.

I run 4x Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx in my red devotion deck and I rarely have issues with having multiples in my hand. You can always tap a Nykthos for mana then play a second Nythos (sacrificing the first per the Legedary rules) for more mana.

Kaelden, I was on the fence until now. After all though, it's still an enchantment like you mentioned, I should be able to get the mana pretty easily, and the life-loss is irrelevant compared to my life-gain. Thanks!

Gorgosaurusrex, gotcha, I'll keep my 24 lands. As for nykthos, I really only want the 2 copies (even though I own another 2) b/c most of my cards require a lot of colored mana and I don't want to get stuck with just colorless mana. P.S. I've used that Nykthos combo before with cards like Mistcutter Hydra . It's INSANE!!!

-Thanks for commenting!

I totally agree with the decisions you just made. I hate making changes to a deck. Sometimes I totally push aside advice, only to later realise that they were correct. Even if the amount of cards added our subtracted isn't exactly what they suggested.

I'm about to change mine up to make it faster. I'll let y'all know

This is a deck that I thought looked different, strange, and not a really good deck. Then I play tested it. Why can your deck get to 39 life on turn 5? Your deck is amazing in my opinion. I really like this life-gain aggro constellation type build, and I think I'm going to take it to my next open event. Thanks for opening my eyes up to this deck. I would have probably never thought of it myself. Also I think you should play only 2-3 brain maggot's at the most since if you brain maggot and see a removal, you almost have to take it, other wise they get their card back right away almost all the time. Maybe play like a thoughtseize or 2. I think you can spare the 2 life for casting it.

Blind Obedience shuts down aggro decks quick. Really impressed with this decklist.

What about Exquisite Blood ? Another way to gain life, and the combo with Sanguine Bond is just beautiful.

Exquisite Blood is not standard.

ConfusedMandarin: Exquisite Blood isn't standard legal.

Stamina - Thanks!

ConfusedMandarin, HiddenStrings, Gorgosaurusrex- I wish! I mean, gain 1 life or deal 1 damage and I win! If only...
