It is a not an Enchantment deck at all, it is a deadly token concept for Pharika. Some says that Pharika is not good enough, but I say they are wrong. She can remove all dangerous creatures from opponents' Graveyard (extremely useful against Black), she can create cheap and lethal snake tokens any time, and finally she is an 5/5 indestructable commander. This second advantage is very useful in EDH. You usually can keep two mana in reserve to create a deadly little snake who can kill most of the non-flying creatures of your enemies. In many cases you are not forced to do so, since your opponents will simple chose an other target to attack. It also happens many time that an opponent forgets about Pharika's ability, so his precious attacking creature runs into death's arm. I know she needs some dead bodies in Graveyard, but in this deckthere are tons of creatures which are useful dead or alive.

Let's see in details:

Guys for your Graveyard: Abyssal Gatekeeper , Burnished Hart, Corpse Augur, Dawntreader Elk, Dimir House Guard, Fleshbag Marauder, Krosan Tusker , Merciless Executioner, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Shriekmaw, Slum Reaper , Sylvok Replica, Viridian Zealot, Wild-Field Scarecrow , Yavimaya Elder. They just come and go, but always think twice whether you really need a deadly snake or it is better tore-animate a dead creature.

Token factory: Avenger of Zendikar, Creakwood Liege, Grave Titan, Ophiomancer, Awakening Zone.

What should we do with Pharika's and Token factory's tokens?

1. Summon something big in turn 4-6: Demon of Death's Gate, Westvale Abbey  
2. Destroy/Sacrifice creatures of your opponents: Doomwake Giant (Pharika's snakes are enchantments), Butcher of Malakir, Savra, Queen of the Golgari, Dictate of Erebos, Reaper from the Abyss, Attrition
3. Search something: Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Evolutionary Leap
4. Get extreme amount of mana: Ashnod's Altar
5. Draw some cards: Skullclamp, Shamanic Revelation, Deathreap Ritual , Dark Prophecy , Grim Backwoods
6. Overwhelm your opponents: Triumph of the Hordes, Overwhelming Stampede

As you can see, this deck tries to solve most of the challenges of the game by creatures, since they can be drawn back from Graveyard, or they can be used up as snaketoken basis. This is why many important components present in this deck in the form of creatures like Mass Destruction ( Deathbringer Regent , Dread Cacodemon ), Mana Ramp (Burnished Hart, Dawntreader Elk, Krosan Tusker , Sakura-Tribe Elder, Wild-Field Scarecrow , Yavimaya Elder) or Card Search (Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Rune-Scarred Demon,Dimir House Guard) etc.

Some instant winning combos: (Get Diabolic Revelation in hand with other Searching Cards and you can have all combo pieces together with one action)

1. Ashnod's Altar+Grave Titan+Nim Deathmantle+Exsanguinate: Infinite life loss
2. Ashnod's Altar+Woodfall Primus+Nim Deathmantle: Infinite Land Destruction

Some other cards with which you can win the game:

1. Ob Nixilis Reignited 2.Vraska the Unseen3.Triumph of the Hordes4.Overwhelming Stampede

As a final word I can not say anything else, just try it and enjoy the game!
