Rhadamanthus on How does Kaya’s Ghostform interact …

One side note about this specific example: Emrakul's "protection from colored spells" ability is going to make it pretty difficult to get Kaya's Ghostform attached to it. Emrakul won't be a legal target for the Kaya's Ghostform spell when you cast it. You can cast the Ghostform on something else and then move it to Emrakul with another effect, but you'll need to use something that doesn't target Emrakul and/or isn't a spell, like Enchantment Alteration or Simic Guildmage's last ability.

Thanks! I've gotten to test some now and what I'm finding is also what I estimated to be true which is that it struggles with all out aggro decks like stompy and slivers, but has a decent match up against everyone else. Cards that can buy time against those decks are invaluable

Curfew is a good option for aggro and has other uses such as Gurmag Angler and reanimator strategies

Enchantment Alteration great against boggles and can be played when drawn for a sneak attack unlike counter magic

Diabolic Edict / Chainer's Edict boggles, stompy, slivers

Cloak of Confusion I've had a love affair with this card since I first saw it and have been looking for a home for it since and I think the faeries sideboard might be it. While sitting on a hand of countermagic backup as you often do, resolving this can be devastating against control, tron and tons of other decks, dont underestimate RANDOM discard!!!

Rhadamanthus on Can enchantment alteration steal enchantment …

You're allowed to move it to one of your creatures. That text is just reminding you that Enchantment Alteration doesn't change who controls the aura you're moving, just what it's attached to. If you move one of your opponent's auras to a creature you control then your opponent will still control the aura.

For older cards, always check out the current Oracle text on the card's Gatherer entry to make sure you're getting the most up-to-date version of what it says. The current Oracle text for Enchantment Alteration is simply "Attach target Aura attached to a creature or land to another permanent of that type." The main reason your 1995 printing of the card looks so different is because at that time it was still common for cards to have reminder text (the helpful text usually printed in italics) included as extra rules text.

The text in Enchantment Alteration is a little confusing where it says “The controller of enchantment does Not change”. Does that mean I can’t cast enchantment alteration and put the enchantment on one of my creatures, meaning it could only be switched among my opponents creatures or lands? Or does that mean that it’s still considered theirs but it’s redirected on your creature. Like when you cast a enchantment to tap a creature and it doesn’t untap , is the enchantment still considered your enchantment or does it become theirs? On a side note I have a 1995 Brian snoddy print on enchantment alteration that doesn’t read like the one that comes up in the link.

Not sure why it took me so long to come take a look at this - but well done. This looks incredibly fun to play, and has such a unique combination of enchantments! I like the enchantress and Kydele synergy, but wonder if there are a few more things you could add to ensure that doesn't come back to bite you by increasing turnover. Maybe something like Mirri's Guile or Exploration to help streamline the cards you get - maybe even Abundance. Also, some insurance on the hand size. I think Venser's Journal could work especially well. You could also have something like Words of Wind make that combo add to the control you have set up.
The land base is pretty susceptible to things like Ruination and Blood Moon. Having some recursion might help, or just swapping for more basics.
Ishai might not be as effective with some of the control out, since you'll limit opponents' spell casting, but I think the trade off is worth it.
Eon Hub, while it would ruin some things, also has potential if you wanted to leverage more cumulative upkeep cards in the deck. I also think Stasis could fit here, with some of the untap cards you have for yourself.
If there is a goal to get Starfield of Nyx to make creatures, something like Asceticism might help give some extra insurance. Also, Dictate of Heliod or Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite might help if you want to get Enchanted Evening out at the same time, so you don't have to worry about wiping your lands.
Finally, I saw you had multiplayer tagged. Having cards that let you move enchantments might help out. I can only think of Enchantment Alteration and Aura Graft off the top of my head, but even Copy Enchantment could help get a curse on more than one opponent.
