I considered Prophet of Kruphix before, but it seemed to me that Seedborn Muse is better. Now I think that both are good in the deck.

Many thanks for reminding!

Perhaps Orb of Dreams might make for a decent addition. It's symmetrical, but there's an easy way to break that symmetry.

Chronatog + Stasis + Orb of Dreams is an essentially unbeatable lock. Chronatog simply allows you to draw your opponents out.

Thanks for commenting on my deck!

I considered Orb of Dreams before, it is pretty nasty, and as you said it is symmetrical, and this symmetry has deterred me from this card. But now, after you pointed out this card, I'll try to test it.

As for the combo with Chronatog and Stasis... I know this combo, but it seems that Chronatog does nothing outside of this combo. Need some more tests with it. Thanks again!

All the most resilient combos have pieces which actually do things outside of serving to combo, after all, such as Deadeye Navigator, or Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. Chronatog definitely doesn't fit that description, however, so I can see why you wouldn't want to play it.

One other way to combo with stasis is Eon Hub, but that also does nothing (most of the time), and may actually hinder you rather considerably. I thought it might be worth bringing up, however.

Wow! Eon Hub is very interesting, Thanks! So many things can be used with it. Hokori, Dust Drinker, spells with cumulative upkeep.

I will try Chronatog, maybe more tutors will help to make him not so useless, we'll see.

Thanks a lot!

Ward of Bones would work pretty well i think, keeps a pretty good lock down on the board.

Ward of Bones is very interesting. In the beginning I wanted to use this card with Armageddon, and a lot of mana rocks. It stops people from playing lands. And it reminded me of Land Equilibrium.

Maybe I will reconsider most of my deck for those cards.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Not sure if you know this, but Prophet of Kruphix just got banned in Commander. If this is just for casual play it should be fine, but if you take it to an FNM you should be aware that they probably won't let you play it.

I didn't know about it! Thanks for the info!

Well, if it is so, now I have one card slot to fill.

Since you have a lot of enchantments. maybe try Argothian Enchantress, Verduran Enchantress, Mesa Enchantress, Auratog, Replenish, Moat and other powerful enchantments.

Thank you for your comment!

Indeed, Argothian Enchantress is great card. It was im my maybe. I'll think about adding it again, thanks! Also now I'm considering Eidolon of Blossoms, it is very interesting because it has ETB trigger.

Replenish is already in the deck.

Moat is very good, but I had problems with this card, my tokens and key creatures (Sun Titan) couldn't attack because of it. And in my group there are many players who play fliers (Zur, Bruna...)
