I always like to go play Legacy, just never at the cost of competitive legacy, so here is a budget build that can compete at your LGS Legacy format.
With Yavimaya Enchantress and/or an
Ancestral Mask
as our main goal and using one
Canopy Cover
to push a fatty through, the second goal is even more of a combo.
Tranquil Grove
is a bit rude, destroying all enchantments that arent itself. Something about a battlefield that consists of nothing but a
Tranquil Grove
(having destroyed everything else under the influence of an Enchanted Evening) is fucking rad. If you save 4 mana while making the
Tranquil Grove
play, you could return all our own stuff with Faith's Reward
People may not enjoy having all of their permanents destroyed, but at least the game should be ending shortly, and they have to respect such a sweet sequence.
Building More Synergy
Ajani's Chosen will give us a Cat for most of our spells, but that alone doesnt make the card worthwhile. However, with an Enchanted Evening on the battlefield, the Cat trigger becomes a landfall abilityour lands will enter as enchantments, thus giving us Cats a la Rampaging Baloths.
Sphere of Safety makes it almost impossible for us to be attacked while we also control an Enchanted Evening. Without some intense Cabal Coffers or infinite-mana situations from our opponents, well become virtually unattackable. Sphere of Safety, unlike Yavimaya Enchantress, does only count our enchantments, but considering the land enchantments well have, there should be plenty.
Rounding It All Out
Sterling Grove is an awesomely powerful card for this type of deck. Not only can it protect our other enchantments, but it can fetch many of our different combo pieces, some of which are one-ofs, one
Tranquil Grove
is sufficient.
Wild Growth and
Overgrowth
are enchantments that can set us off to a good start, and Harmonize is a strong source of card advantage, and possibly the best source for Selesnya colors outside of creature-based options.
Well, I suppose there are some exceptions when were talking enchantments...
Verduran Enchantress
is around to keep the deck rolling and to dig us deep for our Groves, Spheres, and Evenings of various varieties. Mesa Enchantress is a fine stand-in, but
Verduran Enchantress
is castable on turn two after a turn-one Wild Growth.
Finally, Enchantress's Presence is just more fuel for the decks engine.
The deck is almost all green and white; unfortunately for this list, it doesnt fit cleanly into a Selesnya commanders colors because of Enchanted Evenings hybrid nature. However, if you were to assemble a blue list or throw a few of these cards into a Bant deck, other considerations include Aura Thief, Aqueous Form (over
Canopy Cover
), and Aura Flux with
Phantatog
to sacrifice the Flux as necessary.
