Might get this deck bc it's relatively cheap!

9 Forest
2 Plains
4 {Windswept Heath}
1 {Karakas}
4 {Serra's Sanctum}
20 Land

4 {Argothian Enchantress}
1 {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}
5 Creatures

2 {Helm of Obedience}
2 Artifacts

2 {Abundant Growth}
3 {Elephant Grass}
4 {Enchantress's Presence}
3 {Mirri's Guile}
1 {Oblivion Ring}
3 {Rest in Peace}
3 {Solitary Confinement}
4 {Utopia Sprawl}
4 {Wild Growth}
27 Enchantments

2 {Gitaxian Probe}
4 {Green Sun's Zenith}
6 Sorceries

SIDEBOARD:

3 {Carpet of Flowers}
4 {Leyline of Sanctity}
2 {Oblivion Ring}
3 {Stony Silence}
2 {Surgical Extraction}
1 {Gaddock Teeg}

This is an old list but looks like a solid place to start. I've goldfish es it on untap and it can be insane but it can also be terrible with it's draws. Help and opinions welcome.

Big question is: Can Enchantress be competitive again?

List seems pretty sweet. Enchantress is pretty consistently good. Haven't seen it take down anything major, I think because of the slight lack of overall consistency but I've seen it wreck all the major fair decks at one time or another. There's a dude who streams on twitch who plays legacy enchantress... Can't remember the channel tho. I'll try to figure it out.

If you could figure it out that'd be sweet! I like the idea of the deck and I love the combo control element to it :P

Could I see a deck tech? This list intrigues me but I don't quite see how it wins.

{Rest In Peace} + {Helm of Obedience} Combo or literally hard casting Emrakul

This looks super fun. I'm assuming {Surgical Extraction} is for if/when you board out the {Helm of Obedience} combo? 

I feel like {Solitary Confinement} is one of your best cards. Why not 4? Go through the deck too fast so they're dead in your hand?

On that note why aren't the combo pieces 4 ofs? Go through the deck fast enogh so they're fine? In which case the numbers seems quite good.

Only one Emmrakul feels like a dangerous backup plan when {Rest in Peace} stops you from recovering him.

I feel like burn is your most dangerous matchup. {Wear//Tear}/{Destructive Revelry} get rid of {Rest in Peace} while {Helm of Obedience} is on the stack (or vica versa). Your {Propoganda} effects get kinda weak too.

On that note, I'm assuming {Elephant Grass} is to bridge you over till you can get {Solitary Confinement} running.

Can't play the confinement until you're "going off" otherwise you'll run out of cards and have to sac it, so it's often dead draw early.

I think SB I'm gunna go 3-4 {Sterling Groves for that reason.

I wish I could answer your questions but I've literally only played 1 match with it on untap against a dusty Gobos deck (like really bad he was running Krenko ....

Maybe MB 1 Grove? I get what you mean I think if I build it I'd cut the Git Probes and add {Enlightened Turtor} and a Sterling Grove

I mostly agree with this. The deck tech made a good point about the G probe being very key sometimes.

I've played against enchantress a lot. The differences in the deck I played against are:

He had 4 mb {sterling grove}sto protect the enchantments and when they were destroyed he'd pay 1 and find another one. Once 2 were out his enchants were safe. Then he'd use {Sigil of the empty throne} to aggro you out or {words of war} to ping u to death from all the card draw. Aldo he played the repopulate enchantment card. To return enchantments that had died.

I like the helm combo, but I feel it's more  sideboard material in a deck like this.

I've seen those lists but I really like Mainboard graveyard hate that's also part of a 2 card combo it's a prison deck with an oops I win element :P and I like that
