WBU with lots of enchanments
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Jan. 28, 2015, 11:47 p.m. by Luke3227
I have an Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck that runs plenty of enchantments. My question is how could I most effectively utilize this? I already know I want to get my hands on Ajani's Chosen and Enchanted Evening, but is there anything else I should keep an eye out for?
Um. Sigil of the Empty Throne or Opalescence could turn those enchantments into a solid win condition.

Serra's Sanctum is really nice. Ways to recur enchantments is too. Generally effects that run off of enchantments. Think Sphere of Safety and the like.

Here's a thought I've been rattling around in my head for a few weeks now Angel of Jubilation+AEther Storm or Temporal Extortion and things like Dash Hopes and Diplomatic Immunity to protect the combo, the angel prevents people paying life to activate the storm of dash hopes thus as long as you have the better board state your set

BTW Enchanted Evening and Ajani's Chosen end the game in a draw because there is no "may" on the chosen and the combo can't be stopped
If you want to go full blown combo:
(I'm on my phone and linking cards is a pain in the ass, sorry)
Greater auramancy - protection
Enchanted evening (going to abbreviate as EE from now on) and sphere of safety
Aura thief, EE, and Auratog
(Anytime I say Auratog you can also use faith healer or phanatog)
Opalescence and parralax wave ( this is a bit harder to explain but its basically oblivion ring + Auratog on steroids) add in a parralax nexus and parralax tide, for cards in hand and land respectively ( these can't exile themselves like wave can you need wave + opal to go off with these.)
Definitely want mesa enchantress
Grave pact, opalesence , Auratog and despondency
Reality acid with parralax combo is a one-sided Armageddon
Flickering ward triggers any enchantment ETB stuff, like kor spirit dancer or mesa enchantress
Propaganda and ghostly prison if more aggressive decks are in the meta
Sigil of the empty throne and luminarch Ascension are staples of enchantment decks.
Necropotence for card draw
Hannah ships navigator for recursion
Freed From real for untaps
EE + paraselene + faith's reward
Idyllic tutor, enlightened tutor, academy rector are good enchantment tutors
Skybind is great if you have etb creatures like a heliods pilgrim or archaenomancer, also owns tokens. And "untaps" lands
A search on gatherer might bring up more stuff idk, but this is what I know works off the top of my head.

I'd run a lot of Constelation as well. I have a WGB enchantment heavy deck that does this. Doomwake Giant can be horrifying to your opponents if you manage to get out 3 or 4 enchantments in one turn.

I took a look at your deck, and I don't think you are running enough (or the right kind of) enchantments to utilize an enchantment based strategy without retooling your entire deck.
Generally it is a better idea to build a deck from the ground up with a specific win condition in mind, instead of trying to tweak your deck as an after thought. You COULD build a great enchantment themed deck with Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, as his colors alone give you access to some of the more exiting enchantment combinations, but it would have to be something you built from the start with the intention of having it run in that fashion.

It's much easier if you post the deck list on the deck help forum, it's a lot more difficult to help (at least for me) without more context.
