This is a brew inspired by the new card coming out in Origins: Starfield of Nyx.

The idea of this deck is to abuse Enduring Ideal together with Starfield of Nyx to play a game where instead of casting spells, you cheat enchantments into play like crazy. Use Twincast with Enduring Ideal to get two enchantments per upkeep from your library. Add additional upkeeps with Paradox Haze, and copy Paradox Haze with Copy Enchantment and/or Clever Impersonator to grant up to four upkeeps.

Security:

• Use Boseiju, Who Shelters All to give Enduring Ideal a better chance at resolving.
• Use Eternal Witness to return Enduring Ideal or another essential piece back to your hand in case it gets countered.
• Use Leyline of Sanctity to stop your opponent from targeting you.
• Use Stranglehold and Nether Void to pressure your opponents.
• Use Bow of Nylea to return Starfield of Nyx back to your library from your graveyard if it becomes destroyed and you've already cast Enduring Ideal.
• Reanimate Silent Sentinel as another way to get back Starfield of Nyx.
• Protect your enchantments with Asceticism (if Starfield of Nyx has made them into creatures and/or Privileged Position).
• Use Runed Halo to protect yourself from decks like Sigarda, Host of Herons and other decks where they just try to kill you quickly with commander damage.
• Use Sneak Attack to cheat creatures like Narset, Enlightened Master into play with haste from your hand even under the effect of Enduring Ideal.

Draw power:

• Temur Ascendancy and Eidolon of Blossoms will draw a lot of cards when constantly tutoring 4-drop+ enchantments into play with either Starfield of Nyx or Opalescence in play.
• Consecrated Sphinx is always good draw power.
• Arcanis the Omnipotent is alright, but very good in this deck with Mind Over Matter.
• Phyrexian Arena with multiple upkeeps really hits your life total, but you can regain life with the lifelink granted by True Conviction.

Reanimation:

• Animate Dead
• Necromancy
• Debtors' Knell

Combos:

• Mind Over Matter + Arcanis the Omnipotent + Words of War (Draw your whole deck, then discard four cards at a time untapping arcanis and three lands, tap arcanis to draw 3 cards, but spend that 3 mana to replace those draws with 6 damage. Use Kozilek to recycle your graveyard and redraw your deck if needed. Can also use Jace's Erasure to just win by drawing your deck.)
• Mind Over Matter + Serra's Sanctum + Helix Pinnacle. (You actually have a lot of card draw when things get going, so just dump your hand to repeatedly tap and untap Serra's Sanctum and funnel all that mana into Helix Pinnacle).
• Phenax, God of Deception + either Starfield of Nyx or Opalesence allows your enchantments to be creatures, and thus can tap to mill your opponents out, or mill yourself to fuel Starfield of Nyx for later, or put creatures into your graveyard to fuel the reanimation engines.
• When enchantments become creatures, Deadeye Navigator soulbonded to Oblivion Ring is really dumb. By rapidly blinking Oblivion Ring or Detention Sphere, you can effectively exile every nonland permanent you want. Since there will come a time when you're no longer casting spells, you'll have plenty of mana to spend on a sink like this. Deadeye Navigator paired with a creatured version of Necromancy (but not Animate Dead, because it's always an aura. Necromancy enters as a non-aura enchantment and its triggered ability turns it into an aura, and with that brief moment of still being a non-aura enchantment, is satisfies the conditions for Starfield of Nyx and Opalescence and is a 3/3 creature.) can rapidly blink Necromancy to reanimate all creatures in your graveyard. This is a weird trick, a little finicky, and I'm not exactly sure if the creatures reanimated get sacrificed immediately or not. I don't think they do, because they're not on the battlefield to be sacrificed when Necromancy left the battlefield.
