Looks like it's coming together well! I was thinking about this deck earlier, I was wondering if Contamination might work somehow to provide another lock. Maybe paired with another enchantment that can make dudes such as Squirrel Nest? I would also try to go up on Enchantress's Presence that card is gas for you and maybe some Wild Growth/Fertile Ground to round it out?

EDIT - isn't contamination already just really sweet with Umbilicus for the same reasons as solitary? lol

Never heard of PreDH, that's pretty awesome! I used to play Ulasht, he's/it's super cool and I am a fan of the janky fungus cards used to combo with it. A few recs that worked well for me in that deck:

Mana Echoes - just goes wild with mana

Ivy Lane Denizen - replaces counters on your ulasht and can go infinite

Goblin Sharpshooter - another good thing to equip with Basilisk Collar, also synergizes well as you are saccing your saprolings

Earthcraft makes a ton of mana and you even have Squirrel Nest already, or are you avoiding inf combos on purpose? EDIT oh earthcraft is crazy expensive now I don't remember it being quite so much XD

Wort, the Raidmother always felt great for the big boost to Ulasht count and ability to conspire say a GSZ to pull out multiple combo pieces

and I remember cards like Heroic Intervention being pretty important because the deck was so creature reliant and I even used Wrap in Vigor and Fresh Meat because green prot spells suck

Our decks look pretty different, I think yours is more midrangey and chill/casual with more cool on-flavor cards and less combo, which is totally valid! However if you are looking for a boost you could possibly consider a few of these. +1 for the cool oldschool format and commander

Came here to say I love the deck! With the combo of Squirrel Nest + Earthcraft + Overwhelming Forces and with the addition of Howling Mine and other draw effects, it seems like adding Multani, Maro-Sorcerer

I need a little more clarification on the objective of the deck. Are you wanting a deck with the longest list of combos, a deck with a large number of completely unique combos that you want to draw naturally, or a deck with a large number of completely unique combos and you will tutor the last piece? Each different style is going to require different combos.

Without any specific guidance on how you want to build the deck I am just going to list some of my favorites. I'll just list off cards, LMK if you need an explanation for any.

Hey fluffyeel and thanks for your detailed comment!

Argothian Enchantress: Yeah, i thought about to put it in. Shroud is a very nice keyword. Only negative side, that it could not be a target from my own aura. But this constellation is probably rare...

The "protective" enchantments like for example Greater Auramancy: Hmm, maybe i put one ore two in...

The Earthcraft/Squirrel Nest combo: I know this one. But ask me why, i don´t like it. (Didn´t play it in my squirrel EDH-deck either).

Another tutor: Yes, good idea!

Eternal Witness: Only card to get things back is Hall of Heliod's Generosity (and here only enchantments..). Eternal Witness (or Regrowth) could get back a fetch land or anything else. Worth the consideration!

Enchantress decks are always worthwhile. Looking at yours, here are some thoughts:

  • My favorite enchantress is Argothian Enchantress: it's as fast as Sythis, plus the counterplay against a permanent with shroud is difficult for very many decks (I've noticed).
  • In terms of fun enchantments, Greater Auramancy and Privileged Position are each an extra layer of protection for your board. Other enchantments of varying degrees of enchanted-ness are Abundance (makes a great combo with Sylvan Library); Smothering Tithe (given); Land Tax (you have the basic lands to support it, not to mention you also have land acceleration!); and Sphere of Safety (if you are in a combat-heavy playgroup). There, of course, is the classic Earthcraft/Squirrel Nest combo, but it's quite pricey (money-wise)...
  • Enlightened Tutor is highly recommended for getting the important enchantments (and given you have lots of creatures that are enchantments, too...), maybe also with Worldly Tutor as more ways to get the key creatures you want/need/desire. You could also consider things like Eternal Witness and Regrowth for getting back things and stuff.

The retro frame printing of Squirrel Nest from Dominaria Remastered lists the collector number as DMR347, the correct number is 349.
