I have deck like this. You might find it worth reviewing, though I included blue in mine: Manic Enchantress. It's pretty funny, too, as it's a self-mill by card draw deck. I win with a slightly cheaper paper version more often than my friends would like.

My advice for your deck is to cut 2x Sythis (Legendary) and instead include 2xEnchantress's Presence and to include something like Rancor to provide you Yavimaya Enchantress some evasion. I'd also strong recommend Hall of Heliod's Generosity.

I love Sterling Grove in my enchantment deck, Manic Enchantress. If you can add a few more enchantments, I'd also suggest 1-2 Sythis, Harvest's Hand and 1-2 Enchantress's Presence in place of Serum Visions. What can I say other than, 'I just love drawing tons of cards?'

Fun stuff! I have some thoughts. I hope you find something useful, but no worries if you don't!

White is really where it's at with enchantments and the graveyard, namely Hall of Heliod's Generosity. I'd imagine if that were the only thing you needed white mana for, you could probably pretty often get by with a Birds of Paradise and maybe something like a Fertile Ground or Prismatic Omen. However, there are some other nice white spells that might prove just as helpful to you - Sacred Ground and Terra Eternal.

I don't play competitive MTG, but it's my understanding that in fast formats like Modern, you don't really need or even want repeatable/permanent solutions to threats your opponents might have. What we want are fast, efficient, and broadly applicable answers that buy us just enough time to gain enough advantage to win. So my advice - and do take this as a humble suggestion and not any sort criticism - is to forget the artifact defenses (and enchantments I mention above) and focus on having the mana available to cast your counterspells and/or add some low MV protection spells like Tamiyo's Safekeeping or Heroic Intervention and also a Fog/Holy Day or two.

I'd also say that while Drift of Phantasms is decent, I've come to prefer card advantage over tutors. It always seems like it too much to spend 3MV on a cantrip tutor that also reveals your threat. If you wait until you have enough mana to tutor a card, cast it, and have the mana to protect it for two turns, you're already looking at something like T10 without a synergized ramp in place. And that's probably just too slow for [competitive] modern. So, personally, and again, I'm not interested in competitive play, so feel free to ignore me, but I prefer spells like Harmonize for the card advantage and broader range of impact in getting me what I need, even if it is more of a gamble than a tutor. If you keep the artifact defense, you might consider Thoughtcast.

As much as I like what you're trying to do, I'd want an extra land or two, even with the Birds of Paradise. As little as I like it, I've come to believe 22+ lands is usually worth it, especially in a deck that's counting on casting multiple 3MV spells for their win-con.

I like a lot of things about Verdant Command, but I haven't found it useful enough in my little playgroup to warrant a full set in a mainboard.

My final piece of advice is to use the 'Copy Deck' feature here to make forks of this to try out things I suggested (and other ideas you might have). I find it so useful to have multiple builds of the same deck to playtest and compare what's really helping, what isn't, what's fun, what's slow, etc.

I'm so tired to of seeing this deck in the cycle feed. If it was a horse there would be nothing left to be beat. The dust of the bones and hide would be pulverized into the ground and the earth would be compacted into a hard dip. It's like seeing thousands of signs on the highway that read, "Come see the world's deadest horse!"

aw, no Squadron Hawks? :(

I love the value of Healer's Hawk, too.

Oh, the legend, Balaam__ himself to my rescue! My ineptitude must be so apparent to everyone but myself - I cannot for the life of me include the proper number of Storm Crows. I managed to coerce TappedOut to allow me to include more. I can only hope an additional 25 copies will be sufficient to finally see some improvement in this deck. My most sincere gratitude for your sage advise and generous patience with my seeming obliviousness.

Chart a Course seems better than Pearl of Wisdom, as the condition seems easier to fulfill and the base MV is lower.

I saw your OnlyDans deck in the feed the other day - it was so pleasing to be surprised - surprised such a funny format gained any awareness. (Obviously, I was unaware). I'm very grateful to you for exposing me to it. Perhaps you'd be interested to know that for about a year me and my little playgroup took turns creating our own formats which we'd play online via Cockatrice. It was really some of the most fun I've had playing magic. Let me know if you're interested in seeing some of the formats we came up with. Many of them are saved here in my deck's descriptions from that time.

Big thank you for the +1, Gilmer!

Ichormoon Gauntlet perhaps? With enough planeswalkers in play, it can give you infinite turns

Thanks, Balaam__! That is inefficient and convoluted but I love the creativity of it. I'm not sure I need Unearth/Call a Surprise Witness for that, tho. It makes it repeatable, but not easier to assemble, which seems like the bigger issue? I really appreciate the idea, though! And I'm sure you're right that no one would see it coming, lol.

Thanks so much for the +1, Balaam__!

So I'm looking a little more closely at this and while I think your combo does work, I think you have to have zero Energy Counters when you cast Greenbelt Rampager - that is, if you have two Energy Counters when you cast the Rampager, you have to pay them and it will stick on the battlefield. So that will add an extra component required to make your combo work, a component yet to be added. In an ideal world, there would be a spell that tutors for Energy, but alas, I don't think such exists. I'd go with Servant of the Conduit as at least the ramp will help get your 4 drops into play a little sooner.

I don't really see how this is particularly good, especially at 89 cards, but IDFC, YOU HAD ME AT SQUIRREL! +1!!

Balaam__ - thanks so much for your high praise! Allies were one of my first loves and a huge reason I became so enamored with the tribal theme (even when there's not much or any gain from it, lol). It was a pretty big disappointment when we got more Allies in the Battle for Zendikar block but they were all more or less nerfed compared to the first Allies we got the Zendikar block. I have little hope we'll ever seen new Allies printed with as much power as the originals, but I suppose with all the power creep from Modern Horizons it's not impossible. One can only hope I suppose.

Essence Warden, perhaps? Also, with all the draw card from Elemental Bond, I'd include Reliquary Tower. Speaking of - where's the land?!?

Thanks so much for the +1, Balaam__!

Thanks, psionictemplar. I actually played my paper version of this deck for the first time in over a year last night and got 2 wins in 3 games in 1v1v1 multiplayer. I was SO freaking close to being able to steal multiple Siege Rhinos from one of my opponents but, unfortunately, I wasn't able to get an Agadeem Occultist down soon enough. By the time I did play one, I was already going infinite so I milled both opponents out before the Occultist recovered from summoning sickness. It was a super fun win, regardless. My friend that plays Siege Rhino has gotten so good at bouncing it, returning it from his graveyard, and even pulling it back out of exile that stealing it is probably the only way to really stop him from abusing it, so I was really hyped to have the chance; it just didn't work out.

There are def issues with this deck - 1) 4 colors means unstable mana-base, even with expensive lands. There's almost no fixing it. I have some builds that exclude white, but I decided Hall of Heliod's Generosity was useful enough (opponents like to remove Arcane Adaptation) that it was worth hurting the manabase - I could change my mind on that 2) the combos work best together because they rely on Allies to trigger, leaving little room for utilities, etc 3) the MV of many Allies at 5 makes the deck fairly slow in such a fast format. - All that said, I'm curious what non-budget suggestions you might have. Also, I love getting +1's, so if you don't have any suggestions, maybe that means you think it could deserve a +1? Regardless, thanks for taking a look and for you comment! Cheers!

BioProfDude for the record, the reasons I suggested Port Town was twofold: 1) at the time, the only lands in the deck were basic lands, so the requirement of revealing a basic land was very achievable AND 2) at the time, the total cost the deck was I think under $30, which, coupled with the Budget hub, led me to believe a very low cost was desired.

Femme_Fatale - I really do understand people not interacting. I mean, I think people want other people to interact with them, but they don't want to interact with other people. IE - comment on my deck, but I'm not going to do the same. That said, when someone constantly cycles the same deck multiple times a day for literally YEARS - I think that drives people away, too. Much thanks for the info on blocking users. I thought there was a way, way sure I'd done it before but I couldn't find it. Much appreciated. And thanks for all you do - more appreciation for that!
