The challenge (gimmick) of this deck is to build an EDH deck using only 1 CMC or less cards (besides the commander). Remember, X costs count as zero when calculating CMC everywhere except the stack.

Normally I avoid using tutors in my deck building, but here I believe they'll be necessary for competing with 'proper' decks. Vampiric Tutor and Demonic Consultation are in here for that purpose (as I don't currently have an Enlightened Tutor available).

The deck's strategy is to spam as many enchantments as possible as quickly as possible, and then win in the mid-game through large enchantment tokens via Daxos' activated ability. Flickering Ward is good for getting the experience counters you need while protecting Daxos when necessary. Phyrexian Reclamation and the Bestow creatures will also hopefully make an impact in getting experience counters. Otherwise there's a number of cards to hopefully slow down your opponent's creatures and such.

There's plenty of room for improvement, and as I get opportunities to test the deck I'll switch out cards which underperform too much.
