Basic idea is to stall, steal, and disrupt until I can get tron Narset going. I've gone 10-3 so far during FNM in 3-6 player pods. Any feedback or ideas are appreciated.
Happy to see someone else running LoA-Orrery Enchantress-Voltron Narset. Some random thoughts.
First, I would watch how many extra-combat cards you're running versus the number of ways to make her attacks safe. Make sure you can reliably flip the latter before filling your deck with the former. A second attack is useless if she can't even make a first one!
Have you considered Scroll Rack to keep the things you want in your hand in your hand and what you want in your library in your library?
Are wraths a problem in your meta? I tend to run more anti-wrath auras in my build since they're an issue, ie. Mammoth Umbra, Gift of Immortality and the like.
How about counterspells? Having Narset countered and setting me back is irritating. I really like playing her with seven mana on the board and a Swan Song to back her up. Counterspells also guard against those nasty wraths. If you're concerned about exiling them, that's partly what Scroll Rack is for.
@ Hallucigenia - Scroll Rack is on my wishlist, as is Maze of Ith. In my meta I don't typically see too many wraths, Arcane Lighthouse on the other hand has wrecked my day a few times. I used to run Defense Grid and Price of Glory to help against counterspells and other player's turns randomness and they aren't cut out for sure yet. I also used to run Wild Research but tutoring in red is so risky, granted I ran it when I had more like 12-15 enchantments so it may be worth trying again. I've never ran the vows but I have considered Scourge of the Nobilis but it'd be in addition to steel of the godhead, I prefer getting that commander damage through as opposed to just safely attacking. Thanks for the feedback and do you mind posting your decklist?
I love Volcanic Vision and am considering it in both my Narset and Jeleva decks. Has a very nice immediate effect and gets back that much-needed Winds of Rath.
Ok, I'm after thoughts on running Price of Glory as a deterrent to counterspells/instants/flash. Animar seems to be the local favorite at the store I play fnm at. But hey at least it's not like the last store where the local mascot was kaalia.

Scourge of the Nobilis packs more oomph than Steel of the Godhead, and still makes her attacks "safe" with firebreathing + first strike.
What are your opinion on the Vows, ie. Vow of Flight? Keep a creature off your grill or give Narset a boost and evasion?
No love for Wild Research?
