Introduction

This is my Tuvasa the Sunlit enchantress deck. Unlike most Tuvasa decks, this list is not focused on aura enchantments or "voltron" strategy at all. Instead, this is a “go-wide” deck that runs enchantment creature and graveyard recursion packages. Tuvasa acts as a consistent and weak enchantress effect in the command zone.

The basic theory of this deck has three parts:

1: Enchantress effects are powerful so opponents are likely to remove them.

2: Sun Titan recursion effects are good at returning enchantresses to play.

3: Because the deck keeps a moderate number of creatures in play, anthem effects are a reliable win-condition.

Deck packages

Enchantress

Argothian Enchantress / Eidolon of Blossoms / Enchantress's Presence / Mesa Enchantress / Satyr Enchanter / Setessan Champion / Sythis, Harvest's Hand / Verduran Enchantress

These cards heavily incentivize the deck to primarily run enchantments, so that as the deck ramps, plays removal, and develops threats it also maintains card advantage.

Enchantress effects are most effective used alongside cheap enchantments, because they provide the lowest cost triggers for enchantress effects: Exploration, Wild Growth

Graveyard Recursion

Sun Titan / Court of Ardenvale / Redemption Choir / Replenish / Brought Back / Dusk / Dawn / Eternal Witness

This deck has a handful of these graveyard recursion effects and can be hampered by graveyard hate. However, I would not classify it as a “graveyard deck” in the usual sense. Specifically, this deck does not run effects that are designed to intentionally fill the graveyard with cards and mass-reanimate or reanimate high value targets. Instead, this deck runs recursion effects that are good at repeating small effects. These effects act as removal, help delay opponents, and maintain the deck’s own board state in the face of removal and board wipes.

While most of the cards in this deck are 3 mana or less and therefore valid targets for the recursion package, the “seal” cards are explicitly strong when combined with repeated recursion:

Seal of Removal / Angelic Shield / Seal of Primordium / Seal of Cleansing

The set of fetchlands in this deck (Misty Rainforest, Windswept Heath, Flooded Strand, Prismatic Vista, Fabled Passage) also allow several of the recursion effects to ramp mana. Cephalid Coliseum is also a potentially strong target for recursion.

Creature Buffs

Boon of the Spirit Realm / Collective Blessing / Mirari's Wake / Weaver of Harmony / With a sub-theme of +1/+1 counters: Hardened Scales / Felidar Retreat / Defiler of Vigor / Proft's Eidetic Memory

Cards of Note

Brought Back is an extremely flexible and potentially high value card. In the worst case, Brought Back encourages you to leave up WW and not spend it. In the best case, Brought Back can return the most expensive permanents (e.g., Sun Titan and Collective Blessing) to play after a board wipe. In the average case,Brought Back will target two “Seals” or fetch-lands, which is still high value for a two mana spell.

Metamorphic Alteration is another flexible and potentially high value card. Metamorphic Alteration can be used as creature removal in the vein of Kenrith’s Transformation by turning a high value target into a copy of something of much lower value. For example, turning an opponent’s Card: Grand Arbiter Augustine IV into an Arbor Elf. Alternatively, it can be used to turn one of this deck’s own low-value cards into an active threat in the later stages of the game. For example, turning an Arbor Elf into a copy of Sun Titan.

Parallax Wave is an extremely strong card. You can use the “oblivion ring trick” with Parallax Wave to do a mixture of permanently exiling your opponent’s creatures and flickering your own. You need a way to destroy Parallax Wave at instant speed, but the “seal” and recursion package make this relatively reliable in this deck. The card is also still strong if played “fairly” where it can exile or flicker very flexibly for multiple turns.

I’ve recently made a number of changes to this deck but I’m planning on trying to keep the list relatively stable for the near future. There are a number of cards that are on-trial and are excluded from much detailed description here even though they have interesting uses and interactions.
