Death touch don't beat indestructible.

So the idea is to somehow make this poor girl playable. I think the optimal way is to be enchantress focused, taking advantage of your personal snakes. Actually GETTING personal snakes now and then as blockers, value, fight targets, whatever, necessitates running some small corp of disposable sac effect creatures like Sakura-Tribe Elder or Shriekmaw...hopefully some effects that would be run on sorceries and the like can go on creatures. Fight is also nice because Pharika can easily get rough with other creatures due to indestructible. Pharika in this model is getting voltroned up in such a way that she can bypass any snakes you might give your opponent out of necessary graveyard hate; sooner rather than later, it's intended to get her online. It's also loading up heavily on sweeps to take advantage of Pharika's innate indestructibleness. Packs a few creatures with indestructible/resilience to sweeps in order to supplement Pharika's devotion. The greatest weakness and worst case scenario is enchantment removal taking Pharika off devotion mid-swing, and losing any auras on her; hopefully enchantress cards and some enchantment recursion(lol is there any in black green?) help negate the damage when that happens once in a while. It helps that enchantments are so annoying for so many colors to handle, but color density is actually at a premium in this deck.

Clearly the deck has a lot of disparate themes that don't all mesh perfectly. Hopefully taking a lot of different avenues gives us some reasonable resilience. Having easy peripheral graveyard hate and a strong removal suite will hopefully forgive many sins.

And how FLAVORFUL is Gift of the Deity now?

May need to pack more artifact/enchantment hate.
