Use Phyrexian Unlife and Solemnity to make it such that, even with a life total of zero, one cannot die. from that point, Axis of Mortality can give one’s opponent the zero life total, and make that opponents' efforts at killing me work toward one’s own benefit. If for some reason an opponent is unwilling or incapable of reducing one’s life to zero, it may be alternatively achieved via Spellskite or Shefet Dunes.

To protect this delicate combo, Greater Auramancy, Spellskite, Mana Tithe, and Rebuff the Wicked couldn't be better. Mesa Enchantress keeps one’s hand full, and keeps turns taken mid-game from stagnating, and Starfield Mystic makes enchantments easier to cast, thereby making the deck marginally faster than it otherwise would be.

In regard to potentially losing a combo piece, Starfield of Nyx makes the above mentioned combo very persistent and can pull other enchantments needed to pull off the combo from the graveyard to the battlefield. Further, it offers a good alternative win condition through mobilizing all enchantments as creatures.

This deck is obviously weak to those builds which do not target my life total, but rather seek a win through a different means, such as mill decks. However, against the vast majority of decks this is a functioning, albeit very noncompetitive deck that makes for great fun and surprise in casual settings.
