Stasis Cocoon

Enchantment — Aura

Enchant artifact

Enchanted artifact's activated abilities can't be played.

If enchanted artifact is a creature, it can't attack or block.

TypicalTimmy the best removals are actually the Arrest enchantments. Your examples give them an indestructible chump blocker and a land for ramp as well.

big changes in the deck!

In no particular order:

OUT:

Strata Scythe : too high of a cost for just +X/+X, even if it can win some games

Godsend : same as before, too high of a cost and it functionally says "+3/+3 unblockable", except it is not unblockable when it matters. Can stop some big threats for a while but too situational. I love the card tho.

Prowler's Helm : just wanted to cut some redundant unblockable effects. We already have enough + tutors. You only need one of them when you want to win. Choice was between this and boots and I feel that walls are more common than only-basics

Paradise Mantle : seems amazing until you realize that we don't always have a creature doing nothing on the board that wants to tap for mana

Lightning Greaves : does't help to win, and we usually don't rely just on Sram to kill the opponent, so protection is not that important

Loxodon Warhammer : this cut is done just because the swords are better. Having a tutorable single source of lifelink can save some games tho, so better to still take this in consideration.

Cultivator's Caravan : I tried it, I didn't particularly like it. Sure, good versatility. However, most of the times its just a 3 cmc rock, not that great. The ability to attack is mostly irrilevant since its very incefficient to put equips/auras on it, and blocking still requires a creature to tap for it.

Smuggler's Copter : same issued as the caravan, plus its not versatile. Too much effort to just draw and discard occasionally. All considered, I preferer to run 0 vehicles.

Stasis Cocoon : too narrow. Sometimes can be great (can target breya, fast mana and other things), but other times its a dead card with no relevant targets.

Pacifism : a lot of problematic creatures don't act through the combat phase. Therefore this card is in the weird spot of being outclassed by 3cmc alternatives (prison term, arrest) and darksteel mutation, while also being often functionally equal to Kirtar's desire for double the cost.

Holy Mantle : there are better things to do with 4 mana. Putting it on a spirit dancer is sweet tho.

Faith Unbroken : seems a good combination of pump + draw + removal, until you realize that you are just setting up a very bad 3 for 1 later on. Not terrible thanks to Sram, but there are better plays at 4 mana.

Kor Sanctifiers : the card is ok, however the lack of recursion potential makes so that there are better alternatives.

Stone Haven Outfitter : I was excited for this card being a sort of second mini-skullclamp. Then you realize that this guy passive +1/+1 actually makes skullclamp useless and you really don't want him on the field.

Drifting Meadow : having increased the number of colorless lands, we really don't want too many tapped lands. This gets cut because of the 2 cost of cycling, worse than steppe

Disenchant : here you can cut demystify instead, your choice. Disenchant is more versatile but more costly. Usually I find that enchantments are more problematic than artifacts and I really don't want to face a Stasis with the need of 2 mana open. But I can see it useful when you sit in front of a sharuum/breya/memnarch. Its up to you. You still probably want one of them for the insant speed, for sorcery speed alternatives is better to have recurrable permanents.

Without Stoic Rebuttal how do you survive Stony Silence, Kataki, War's Wage, Hurkyl's Recall, Stasis Cocoon, Path to Exile, and Ghost Quarter can obviously do damage to you Inkmoth Nexus plans, and that's not really preventable. I think splashing blue is important for the counter spell aspect in an affinity deck though.

What about Prison Term, Arrest, Suppression Bonds, One Thousand Lashes, Krasis Incubation?

And also the less effective Gelid Shackles, Ice Cage, Lost in Thought, Volrath's Curse, Arachnus Web, Serra Bestiary, Stasis Cocoon.

It's true that those don't deal with triggered abilities, but in my experience most decks rely on activated abilities and / or commander damage.
