Land (1)
-Lotus Bloom: Allows for turn 4 Enduring Ideal when suspended turn 1. A dead draw later, but the reward far outweighs the risk.
-Pentad Prism: Allows for turn 5 Enduring Ideal when cast with Sunburst 2. Not dead ramp later unlike Lotus Bloom
-Sleight of Hand: Puts a useful spell in hand, and an Enduring Ideal target on the bottom.
-See Beyond: Digs 2 cards deep and shuffles away any Enduring Ideal targets we happen to have in hand.
-Court Hussar: Digs 3 cards deep, ships Enduring Ideal targets to the bottom and blocks.
-Path to Exile: In such a creature/aggro heavy meta, Path to Exile is just about all you need to help you live until you manage to resolve an Enduring Ideal
-Ghostly Prison: Almost always hardcast, helps fend off early aggro.
-Dovescape: Part 1 of the lock, protects your enchantments by countering any Disenchant effects and leaving your opponent with a couple birds.
-Meishin, the Mind Cage: Part 2 of the lock, renders any birds from Dovescape or other remaining creatures useless
-Phyrexian Unlife: Part 3 of the lock, helps fend off any burn or creatures your opponent manages to push through Meishin, the Mind Cage.
-Form of the Dragon: Part 4 of the lock and our win condition. Also combos with Phyrexian Unlife in that it resets our life to 5 at the end of every turn, forcing our opponent to do 5 damage and then an additional 10 seperately, which is a huge challenge especially with Meishin, the Mind Cage in play.
-Boseiju, Who Shelters All: Brought in against control decks to help resolve our Enduring Ideal more reliably. Can also help push one of our spells through Dovescape in certain corner cases.
-Dispel: Brought in against control to further help resolving an Enduring Ideal. Also pretty good against Delver of Secrets -type decks, as they run plenty of pesky instants.
-Ghostly Prison: Brought in for extra defense against very aggressive decks.
-Leyline of Sanctity: Brought in against burn and opposing discard, such as 8-rack. Also quite good against Scapeshift decks.
-Rest in Peace: Brought in against graveyard-based decks.
-Seal of Primordium: Brought in if our opponent sides in a Leyline of Sanctity to shut down our Form of the Dragon.
-Stony Silence: Brought in against any artifact heavy decks, such as Affinity.
