Sphere of Safety

Enchantment

Creatures can't attack you or a planeswalker you control unless their controller pays for each of those creatures, where X is the number of enchantments you control.

Thanks for the tips Belfore!

I think a bit more protection couldn't hurt, so I'll definitely consider Sphere of Safety. I especially like the combo you've suggested. So that with some tutors might be a nice upgrade for sure...

I'm not sure how bestow and mana reduction work together for sure. I know that enchantment reduction will work on it, but a bestowed spell is only an aura if it's on the stack, so I assume it's not an aura before I would cast it? Idk for sure though.

Seems like you are wanting to lean into Eriette of the Charmed Apple second ability mostly. So a couple of quick thoughts. Crown of the Ages can be useful for moving an aura from one problem or creature to another bigger problem so that your commander's first ability can be utilized at instant speed. Also wondering why no Sphere of Safety to really keep your opponents off of you. Also with the amount of cost reduction for aura and/or enchantment I am wondering if you have taken a look at the keyword bestow since you more often than not could play them for cheap. I also remembered a sorta silly yet funny combo of Pariah or Pariah's Shield and Treacherous Link. You might also consider more of the auras that return themselves to hand when put into your graveyard. And finally for this little run of quick thoughts on the deck you might consider lowering the land by about 4 and adding more instant removal or protection.

Interesting brew, though I must admit I'm not seeing any true win-conditions in it (yet). Since you're big on taxes, I think Sphere of Safety would be almost perfect for this deck.

Looks nice. Some ideas worth considering:

  • Aqueous Form: cheap to cast and makes something straight up unblockable; very useful for a commander.
  • Archon of Sun's Grace: powerful token generator in a deck with this much enchantment casting.
  • Combat Research: cheap to cast, provides draw and on Tuvasa it also provides a p/t enhancement and some ward.
  • Daybreak Coronet: fullfilling this card's requirement is easy in this deck, and it's so much bang for your buck.
  • Katilda, Dawnhart Martyr  Flip: strong creature that can come back as a strong aura.
  • Sphere of Safety: excellent protection against attacks in an enchantment-focused deck. Becomes completely ridiculous when combined with Enchanted Evening.
  • Spirit Mantle: cheap anti-creature protection.
  • Strong Back: essentially a much better version of Ancestral Mask.
  • Well Rested: extremely useful for a creature you regularly attack with (or tap for other reasons).

I have replaced Dictate of Karametra and Sphere of Safety with Baird, Steward of Argive and Ms. Bumbleflower, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.48 to 3.45, because I feel that the newer cards better match the theme of this deck.

Orzhov (black and white) would be my recommendation. You have Eriette of the Charmed Apple, Kambal, Profiteering Mayor, Kambal, Consul of Allocation, and Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. All of which drain your opponents while gaining you life. Each has a unique way of winning without swinging.

Second best options could be golgari's Dina, Soul Steeper or Slimefoot, the Stowaway for Aristocrats build. Izzet (red/blue) or any spell slinging deck with a bunch of Guttersnipe effects are also solid.

Some black cards to consider, Hissing Miasma effects (of which there are many), Koskun Falls, or potential blanket protection effects such as Grave Pact or No Mercy.

Green has Elephant Grass and plenty of death touching deterants.

White has Peacekeeper and Sphere of Safety.

Blue has Dissipation Field and Propaganda.

Red has Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs plus all of your Guttersnipe effects as mentioned above.

You can easily make a deck that kills (or mills) people to death without ever swinging. Just depends on the flavor you want to do the murdering with.
