Maybeboard


In Death by a Thousand Charms, Eriette of the Charmed Apple weaves a web of enchantments to gain control over the battlefield. The deck disables opponents' creatures by charming them into a standstill or forcing them to attack one another, creating chaos in their ranks. Meanwhile, Eriette’s auras slowly drain life from opponents, sapping their strength with each passing turn. You will also use your good enchantments on your creatures to make them stronger.

Bracket 1: Exhibition

Ultra Casual thematic deck.

Card Draw

Ashiok's Reaper, Hateful Eidolon, Infernal Scarring, Kor Spiritdancer, Lord Skitter's Blessing, Lunar Convocation, Mesa Enchantress, Read the Bones, Sage's Reverie, Sram, Senior Edificer, Underworld Connections

Removal

Anguished Unmaking, Fracture, Grasp of Fate, Path to Exile, Promise of Loyalty, Sheltered by Ghosts, Soul Shatter

Board Wipes

The strategy is to keep your opponents' creatures alive and enchanted, so board wipes are not what you want often. Any of your enchantments on opponents' creatures, while Eriette is on the battlefield, prevent them from attacking you, and they are sometimes even encouraged (goaded) to attack other players. If there are too many non-enchanted creatures, a good board wipe is Winds of Rath or Promise of Loyalty.

Disrupting Enchantments

Enchantments that slow, disrupt, or disable opponents' strategies even without Eriette on the battlefield: Blind Obedience, Darksteel Mutation, Heliod's Punishment, Mire's Grasp, Parasitic Impetus, Planar Disruption, Prison Term, Reprobation, Spirit Link, Torment of Scarabs, Vampiric Link, Vow of Malice...

Protection

To be used on your commander or other creatures: Demonic Vigor, Indestructibility, Kaya's Ghostform, Not Dead After All, Shardmage's Rescue, Timely Ward, Umbra Mystic

Recursion

Auramancer or Neva, Stalked by Nightmares, Resurgent Belief, Retether, and enchantments that come back: Demonic Embrace, Gryff's Boon, Nurgle's Rot, and Spirit Loop

Tutors

Enlightened Tutor, Heliod's Pilgrim, Idyllic Tutor, Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice, Moon-Blessed Cleric, Three Dreams

Fun surprises

Batwing Brume, Endless Scream, Grievous Wound, Minion's Return, Visions of Brutality, and putting Pariah on a indestructible creature

UPDATE 01 JANUARY 2025

I replaced:

  1. Auramancer with Neva, Stalked by Nightmares who seems to be better version
  2. Curse of Disturbance with Tenuous Truce for card draw and politics
  3. Indestructibility - too expensive on my creature, and does not prevent from exile effect - with Victor, Valgavoth's Seneschal for testing
  4. Infernal Scarring with Talisman of Hierarchy
  5. Moon-Blessed Cleric - too slow and I have better tutors - with Feather of Flight
  6. Planar Disruption because I want enchanted creatures to attack other players - with Lunar Convocation, which is card draw
  7. Promise of Loyalty with Ondu Spiritdancer for testing
  8. Soul Shatter because I need to enchant the strongest creatures, with Read the Bones for more card draw
  9. Unholy Indenture with Vow of Malice that can be also useful on my creature
  10. Unholy Strength, which I love as an old-school card, but I need stronger effects - with Spectral Grasp

Added Lurrus of the Dream-Den, Court of Ardenvale, Trespasser's Curse, and Sphere of Safety to maybe-board.

UPDATE 02 - May 2025

I replaced:

Added Despark, Night's Whisper, Swiftfoot Boots, and United Battlefront to maybe-board.
