Whilst drafting at work, I ran up against someone who managed to kitbash together a Bestow creature from hell. I was fairly impressed, and bought a couple of Theros theme decks to assemble a similar model. Then, whilst perusing Gatherer for other ideas, I started to find all the Enchantment Matters cards that have been printed over the years--Argothian Enchantress being only the start--and realized I could come up with an absurdly degenerate deck.

This is essentially a non-EDH Voltron deck, focusing on large totem-poles of Bestow creatures. The "base" of the pole is a Green creature that says, "[Cardname] gets +#/+# for each Aura." The upper levels are the Bestow cards. Aura Gnarlid is your main win condition. It's arguably worse than Yavimaya Enchantress under the circumstances, but it can't be chump-blocked, and Ghostblade Eidolon can turn it into a trap. It's less re-usable than genuine Voltron EQ, but you're also left with a superior board state.
