Sagas in Theros, Mystic in Standard, Mirrormade, an enchantment in standard---1 mana enchantments?

OK, so some spoilers have leaked for the new Theros Beyond Death set---we know that there will be sagas--which are enchantments. Currently in Standard, we have starfield mystic--which makes enchantments 1 less to cast, a 2-drop. We have a 3-mana mirrormade enchantment--that will be 2 blue mana with a mystic out. (Technically, we also have metamorphic alliteration, an enchantment for 2 mana, that can copy starfield mystic) There's also quasiduplicate, but metamorph seems better in the enchant style deck, plus it's rotation proof. I'm saying we can literally copy blue enchantments all day long. And let's say we get board wiped by some chance---we have dance of the manse to bring it all right back. 1 mana prison realms... Literally the only cost we would have to pay would be the colored mana! Not to mention, with mirrormade...we can stack enchantment triggers with multiple sagas (as far as I know, none are legendary)
And let's discuss historic here: Turn 2 mystic. Turn 3 Time of Ice. Turn 4 Mirrormade, Turn 5 Verity Circle. Turn 6 Dance of the Manse, brings back everything. Oh, but let's add mystic sanctuary so we can play dance of the manse again and again. Muahaha. Oh, and with a Teferi so your opponent can't do anything about it? I'm just dreaming about the excitement here.

It is worth noting, there will also be a number of Enchantment Creatures that can benefit from Starfield Mystic 's cost reduction, including, presumably, a few rather powerful Gods. We also might see the return of Constellation, with the myriad enchantment-based synergies Constellation implies.
All told, I am guessing there will be a few enchantment-based decks floating around in Standard. White will probably form a key component of those decks as White tends to have the best synergies and enchantment-based removal spells. The second or tertiary colours for the deck(s) will be largely dependent on what else Theros spoils. I think we can reasonably expect most enchantment decks will skew heavily to a single colour, since they'd want to take full advantage of Devotion to enable their powerful plays.

Oh, I didn't think to mention, I was focused on MTG Arena Historic...so in that case I think it will be very powerful. This deck is 25-2 thus far...only losing to a witch's oven deck so i added spyglass to sideboard

What exactly are you trying to say? This is kind of just a string of words.
