What to take out though?

That's tough.  But I know keeping them from blocking you with a snap caster or resto angel is nasty.

I honestly kind of like 1 or 2 {Righteous Authority}.  Yeah, it costs a lot, but I can tell you thats been my main target to get rid of many times.  And +1 for the awesome deck name! :D

I'll test and see how it goes, but I was trying to limit the cost of enchantments to get more of them out faster.

Yeah, that's a big downside and the reason I'd run it as a 1 of, possibly a 2 of.  Kind of used as a "bomb" to just make your opponent scoop.

How many cards are you really gonna have in hand though?

Yeah, thoughts too. And it's very expensive just for an additional card draw.

Id play {detention sphere} or {oblivion ring} over the holy mantle. They help you control things you cant deal with. I also would like to say.. The name of this deck should be pillow fort!!

Play tested this setup over the weekend and it went amazing.  RIP vs reanimater shut it down hard.  Cage vs burn was great.  Essentially, it all worked the way it should have.

Updated again. I'm so in love with this deck at the moment, I find it difficult to focus on making another.  Took top spot at LGS on Saturday out of 35 people.

If you keep playing this people will start playing more {Paraselene}
I suggest using  {Nevermore} to shut that down before it happens. :)

I would suggest {Spectral Flight}, and  {Fencing Ace} is good in this deck also.
Title: Re: Bantchantment? Bantchantment!!!
Post by: Harmon74 on February 18, 2013, 09:50:49 PM
 {Alpha Authority} could also be good.

So true.  I also want to throw {Pithing Needle} in there for anti-planeswalker shenanigans.

I thought about Flight, but went with {Gift of Orzhova} instead.  Yeah, it's a tad harder to cast, but lifelink.

This does have potential.  I'll have to play it a bit and see how it goes.
