Hey Macleod, Get offa my ewe! (Angus Mackenzie)
4 months ago
Lost again, this deck's 5th loss in a row. A three hour long, five player marathon. Aubrey refused to press his undeniable Hakbal of the Surging Soul advantage, especially after Connor board wiped the rest of us by copying a Volcanic Fallout. Aubrey, the following player in turn order, could've taken out his brother, Auren, on Koma, World-Eater, which was a tapped giant threat and the next biggest threat at the table. Jared and I had Propaganda and Sphere of Safety, respectively, dissuading and disallowing attacks. One turn cycle later, Aubrey tried to take back his Triumph of the Hordes, since he was tapped out and couldn't attack me or Jared. I successfully argued he couldn't take it back. He attacked and killed his brother...finally! I played Cyclonic Rift at the end of Jared's turn and Connor said he would counter it, even though he only had one creature out, his commander, Magnus the Red, while Jared and Aubrey had major armies. He said he had to go and so agreed not to counter, conceding soon after. Jared had about 30 mana with his Omo, Queen of Vesuva giving him the Urzatron, plus four Gates for Baldur's Gate, allowing him to spend 27 mana for a Marit Lage from Dark Depths. He killed Aubrey with it, surprising me by not taking me out. I board wiped with Sublime Exhalation but found my only out to a lethal Marit Lage was Enduring Ideal into Runed Halo. I staved off more attacks with Back from the Brink but couldn't withstand Jared's removal and pressure... Lost a very close, five-player game.

Revamping Enduring Ideal
8 months ago
Love the concept of the deck. You could maybe add some other ways to search Enduring Ideal, I personally like Solve the Equation.
Regarding the enchantments, I quite like the interaction with Phyrexian Unlife or Nine Lives with Solemnity, as if the opponent does not have interaction for it, you essentially block them from winning. It might not be as good as Dovescape in stopping your opponent, but it has the advantage of being cheap enough mana-wise to be cast in case it got stuck in your hand.

Oath of the Birdwatch

Gaea's Cradle / Growing Rites of Itlimoc Flip?
Also I want more birds. Keeper of the Nine Gales, Augury Owl, Commander Eesha, Thieving Magpie, Ledger Shredder, Emeria Angel, Wingmate Roc, Suntail Hawk, Thrummingbird, Soulcatchers' Aerie, Airborne Aid just some ideas
Enduring Ideal with Dovescape is a classic
Spitting Image is a cool card I forgot about that one.
Overall cool list, lots of interesting cards. Like I said I'd like to see more bird stuff since the deck seems to be more about flavor than being super competitive, plus low cost flyers synergize well with Derevi!

Gods, Shrines & Weatherlight Sisay
3 years ago
Thank you very much for your feedback! I really appreciate the acknowledgement! The deck runs smoothly and is very formidable. If my opponents do not interact with Sisay, Weatherlight Captain early, or if she is well-protected, then the game ends very soon. I have not cast Enduring Ideal yet, so I can't comment on its effectiveness. However, as predicted during the UP & UP installment and subsequent deck tech, rarely do opponents pack enchantment-specific removal, and never any Tranquility-like effects. Removal is slanted more to creatures and artifacts. Win for Sisay! Admittedly, I fear Merciless Eviction or Farewell. I am unsure how the deck recovers, but we shall see through game-play experience. I have perused through the deck that you shared:
1) Your mana base is solid. For me, I would worry a little bit about only two basic lands. I never want to miss the opportunity for a free basic land off of a Path to Exile, Field of Ruin or Veteran Explorer effect.
2) Does your removal seem a little light...? I see Meathook Massacre as the only mass removal spell and Assassin's Trophy as the only spot-removal spell...? How has this worked for you? I'd guess that a lot of your removal comes from Shrines...?
3) Lithoform Engine is a great addition to the 99! Should be game-ending when paired with Weaver of Harmony!
4) Tell me about Starfield of Nyx. That card worries me. One of the benefits of playing enchantment-heavy decks is dodging removal. Has Starfield of Nyx been beneficial? It seems so risky to me. I have Dance of the Manse in the 99 of my Sisay, Weatherlight Captain enchantments-matter deck, and never pay more than 5 for X for fear of creature removal/exile. Tell me your experiences with this card!
5) LOVE the flavor of the deck! This is an enchantment-matters build that enchantment-fans would love!
Great deck! Love it. It seems like an absolute blast to play!!
Polaris on can I tutor The Prismatic …

No, modal double-faced cards (MDFCs) have some specific search rules to keep them from being too broken. Specifically, when an MDFC is considered to only have the characteristics of its front face except when it's being cast, it's on the stack, or it's in play (when it will be the face you chose to play).
When an effect allows you to play/cast spells or lands of a certain type, you can play any side of an MDFC that matches the requirement (for example, casting the back of Torrent Sculptor Flip from the top of your library with Melek, Izzet Paragon).
However, when an effect instructs you to search for a card, move a card somewhere, or put a card into play, it can only find the front face of an MDFC. Enduring Ideal can't find the back of Esika, God of the Tree Flip because of this.

Humility + Life and Limb shenanigans.
It's another option for Enduring Ideal decks.

Red_X, oops just saw this
The Solemnity + Nine Lives / Phyrexian Unlife combo is not particularly good in a deck with only 1 Enduring Ideal . Tutoring with Wishclaw Talisman doesn't work because then opponent just tutors a removal.
This deck needs tutor targets that are devastating and the opponent can't recover from, since they get a free tutor with Wishclaw. That's why Blood Moon is excellent (it's actually responsible for winning the game 20% of the time despite being only 1 of). Between our 12 mana producing enchantments, we are almost always immune to Blood Moon ourselves, while there are a lots of games where the opponent just loses on the spot. The beauty of having Moon as a tutor target (instead of just playing 4) is that you only tutor it when your mana is good and it will cripple your opponent. If not, you just don't tutor it.
