4 {Pin to the Earth}
2 {Oath of the Ancient Wood}
2 {Kruphix's Insight}
2 {Fog}

Sideboard

Notes:
Green Blue unblockable enchantment deck with Instant support. Beefs up flitterstep to move in uncontested. Enchanting creatures becomes easier with dispel to counter pesky kill instants. Can function at 3 lands. Uses turn 4 eidolon of blossoms as draw engine and uses insight to pull eidolon of blossoms on turn 3. Uses most small creatures and fog to defend while unblocked creatures deal easy damage and Uses pin to the earth to turn large creatures into walls so opponent can't deal much damage.

Def needs {boon satyr}. Adds a nice bestow and triggers your constellation. I would also consider {courser of kruphix} as well. It helps with the grindy games

You might want some counterspells for when people try to kill your stuff. Like, maybe, {Dissolve}. Or {Syncopate}.

and {dispel} since most removal is instant speed.

edit: i also think you can do better with {oakheart dryads}. i second {boon satyr}.

Dispel is already in the deck list. I like saytr, but I'm considering consistency of lands over power and using oakheart dryad (2G) instead of boon saytr (1GG). I know +1/+1 until the end of the turn isn't much, but with constelation triggers, it adds up as I play cheap enchantment spells. I'll try out boon Saytr anyway just to test it's fit, however I am still a bit worried about consistency

And I like syncopate. I'll look for some. Thanks

If you can get some {Temple of Mystery} in there your mana won't be so much of a problem.

That works. Thanks

Get the scry lands while they are cheap. Once rotation happens I'm pretty sure thy will jump in price pending what happens with te new core set and the next block.

I've already started looking for all the cards listed. I just picked up 2 boon satyrs, and I'm looking for the temple of mystery now.
Thanks guys for the tips. If you've got any other ideas, please post. This is my first standard deck built in almost 4 years on break from playing magic. I can use all the help I can get.

I removed all 3 oakheart dryads and added 2 boon satyrs and 1 strength from the fallen.

I've got to admit. I was afraid of inconssistancy, but with the trade out, I pull boon satyr around turn 5 when I already have enough lands out to bestow him onto an unblocked creature.

And with strength from the fallen, it does way better than oakheart, and it's almost like having a cheap boon satyr I can use over and over with the eidolon of blossom draw engine
