Sideboard


Maybeboard


GW Enchantment brew for Modern. Stall out the early game with Ram and Path or turn 1 Utopia Sprawl into turn 2 Courser or Ghostly Prison to buy some time and get value. Commune with the Gods and Idyllic Tutor will help you find key enchantments for the situation to start building up more defenses. Greater Auramancy will help protect your spells from any removal and work great in multiples by protecting each other. Once you've clogged up the board state, Sigil of the Empty Throne, Luminarch Ascension and Starfield of Nyx give you multiple ways to take the game while a good Sphere of Safety will ensure your life total stays protected and that your opponents creatures stay out of your face. Either fly over head with several 4/4 angels or take to the stars with your constellation of enchantments for a quick and nasty life swing with built in recursion each turn. Tons of flexibility and interactions (along with a good knowledge of your meta) will consistently keep your opponents puzzled on how to get through your defenses.

GW has the best sideboard options in Modern, so what ever works best for you locally is what you should be using. Rest in Peace and Stony Silence are wonderful cards for slowing or shutting down a plethora of different top decks. Leyline of Sanctity is also great against decks like burn and 8-Rack that like to target your face and stop them in their tracks. A 4th Eidolon of Blossoms will give you more card draw against grindier control decks while an extra Starfield of Nyx lets you go way into the long game. 2 more Nyx-Fleece Rams will slow hyper aggressive decks down to a more survivable pace as Porphyry Nodes becomes their nightmare. Good ol' Nature's Claim is there to catch annoying artifacts/enchantments that are a pain and throw a wrench in your gameplan as well as slowing down Affinity. And then we have the very underrated and powerful single Nevermore as a catch-all for cards that we may not necessarily have answers to prior or just to be on the safe side against combo decks that might be giving us problems.

This deck is very well positioned against aggressive style decks that are running rampant in the format as well as having a strong game against Midrange and tricks up it's sleeve for Control. Hope you like the deck as much as I do and remember all suggestions and advice are welcome and much desired. Thanks for taking a look at the deck! :)
