Okay, so even though I gave you kind of a hard time :P I really liked your deck and want your advice. I was running a weird America enchantment deck ({Banishing Light}, {Detention Sphere}, {Sphere of Safety}, {Keranos, God of Storms}...), but when I saw {Back to Nature} was getting reprinted I knew I had to switch it up. I also didn't like that {Cyclonic Rift} against me was basically GG. So this build has been doing well, but I want to hear your thoughts. As something to keep in mind: I am trying to minimize the number of rotating cards, but that doesn't mean I won't put any in, just prefer to use THS block.
Lands:
4x {Hallowed Fountain}
4x {Temple of Epiphany}
4x {Temple of Enlightenment}
4x {Temple of Triumph}
3x Mountain
3x Plains
4x Island
My land base has been working well, but I am considering maybe a few {Steam Vents}. I would have 2x {Mutavault} in hear, but I don't want to spend the $40 when they are rotating. If I can trade some with a good deal, I will definitely get them though.
Creatures:
2x {Aetherling} thinking of taking down to 1
2x {Keranos, God of Storms} thinking about going up to 3
Spells:
2x {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} was at three, but I felt 5 six-drops, a 7 drop and 2 5-drops was a little much.
2x {Sphinx's Revelation}
2x {Supreme Verdict}
2x {Elixir of Immortality} BUG walkers is huge in my meta and with so few win cons this is necessary. Also allows me to recycle burn spells if I can't stick an {Aetherling} or Elspeth
4x {Banishing Light} because D-Sphere can't hit D-Sphere and {Pack Rat} isn't too big in my meta. Also, it will survive rotation
4x {Dissolve}
2x {Cancel}, {Syncopate} wasn't working out very well, will be {Dissipate} tomorrow
2x {Negate}, two drop counter is good, and as I said BUG walkers is huge
1x {Fated Retribution} BUG walkers and instant speed is fun
2x {Divination}, {Steam Vents} wasn't messing well especially when I lose 1 of my 4 main win cons to it, but I will probably play {Jace's Ingenuity} when it comes out
2x {Warleader's Helix} because I can't find two more anywhere, I have been to 4 LGSs.....
4x {Searing Spear} because {Prophet of Kruphix} and {Courser of Kruphix} are too common in my meta, 2 will switch to {Warleader's Helix} when I find them
1x {Flames of the Firebrand} just testing it out, might switch to {Searing Spear} when I find my {Warleader's Helix}es.
Current Sideboard (help needed, although I really don't use it much)
2x {Cyclonic Rift}-thinking of subbing for {Wear // Tear}
2x {Essence Scatter}
3x {Gainsay}
2x {Negate}
2x {Rapid Hybridization}s-most likely going to take out for {Skullcrack}
3x {Pithing Needle}
1x {Supreme Verdict}
I can give you some helixes Monday
If you're worried about back to nature don't be you have enough counters that it's fine imo
I got some ideas to jot down for ya, but rather do it on a computer.
Decklist:
2 aetherling, unless you consider a stormbreath? I've found his monstrosity ability is wonderful for late game and also protection VS blood baron and obzedat, if Mizzium mortars is common in your meta, maybe not. 2 ætherlings are good if you get milled in your meta alot
2 cancels; perhaps { swan song} instead? It bounces a lot of stuff for one blue
I think flames of firebrand and 1 strike/spear should be replaced by boros charm. 4 damage, double strike, indestructible. A double striking aetherling is the dream. 8 damage instant is huge and it's also usually going to cost more to counter it.
Maybe drop it to two spears/or two mizz mortars and add an extra supreme verdict? You have no creatures at all really, Keranos will never activate really, he's your free bolts at the end. Mizz mortars will get courser and stormbreath (4 dmg)
Counterflux for dissolve - you're American dammit! Why have counters that can get countered, they are so cheap ($1) and guarantee you won't get swan song or syncopated for 1.
Instead of divination I would go with izzet charms or steam augury. Izzet allows a lot of versatile choices also
Also as far as SB:
don't get rid of rapid hybrid unless you have celestial flares. I recommend the latter for most single attackers.
Blood baron!!!
Obzedat
(clfare only)
Stormbreath
Mistcutter
Consider {Wear//Tear}
Pops banishing light fast and enchantment creatures
T2 Courser, no land drop, EOT destroy for 1 mana, no need to waste a counter on it
Instead of gain say, maybe have skullcrack there?
You have so many counters already
Thanks, there are a lot of good suggestions and I will definitely have to look into {Stormbreath Dragon}, I never even thought about it.
He's proven a good distraction before elspeth drops or after a wipe
White deck scoops :D
