Modern forum

I have no idea what the win-con might be, but i know it'll have as many leylines as possible. It'll probably be esper in terms of colour too
sphere plus Enchanted Evening is a pretty solid anti-creature defense. with a very control-ish shell you could probably make it work.

sure, why not. not many players run enchantment hate. at least, its good for some lolztry Sigil of the Empty Throne as finisher. its pretty nice

oh and with card:War's Toll your opponent has to decide wether he attacks OR plays a spell ;)

You would need to give yourself hexproof against burn with stuff like Witchbane Orb and counters for things like Paraselene .

... But are either of those being played in Modern?
No.
No, they aren't.
I ran a Sphere of Safety deck in Standard right after RtR released for a few weeks and never once ran into anything that could stop me.
Enchantment decks are rogue in any format.

Witchbane Orb ? Don't you mean Leyline of Sanctity ?
Trouble with it is Sphere of Safety is pretty expensive... any suggestions on increasing the speed?

Look at my deck: Death by Pegasi
I ran it a GPT and went 2-2-1. It felt pretty good.

I saw it ages ago, it looked pretty awesome. Besides enchantments are one of the hardest things to get rid of in any format, second to lands IMO

my modern deck Poison Dancing... runs enchantments as the primary operandi and it beats most of my other decks in testing. it could be tweaked away from poison to make Sphere of Safety .
