I've had Sigarda, Host of Herons sitting in my folder for some time now. Didn't really know what to do with her or how to build around her. I've done some research, and I've always wanted to build enchantress; the only problem I've had is tracking down some of the more expensive pieces.
About a month ago, the owner of my LGS let me run more or less right through his chase rare boxes, and I managed to track down some goodies. Having said that, there are some valuable additions to be made here that I will probably never track down (Serra's Sanctum, Academy Rector) simply on account of expense. That being said I do want this to be competitive, so I'm open to suggestions for alternative cards, or anything that should or shouldn't be here.
So there it stands at present. There are definitely some weak points - The enchant lands are some of the pricier, less good ones. I'd love to replace with Wild Growth, Fertile Ground, Overgrowth. There are definitely too many lands here too. This was really just a way to pan myself out to 100 so I can playtest and run from there.
Still really wanting a copy of Abundance, Enchantress' Presence, Bear Umbra. Otherwise, I'm open to any suggestions, whether it be curve, proportions of the deck itself, or card options. Price dependent of course.
Some cards that I run in my Enchantress deck that you might like:
Kor Spiritdancer - $7 - You run 18 Auras, so this will often draw you plenty of cards. The more Enchantresses the better I say. Ajani's Chosen - $0.50 - Free 2/2 Cat tokens for each enchantment can add up. Celestial Ancient - $0.50 - I run some token makers (i.e. Heliod, God of the Sun) in my Enchantress build, and this helps pump the entire army. Three Dreams - $1 - Again, you run a lot of auras and this tutors for three of them for the low cost of 5 mana. Enchantress's Presence - $7 - Another Enchantress effect Sterling Grove - $7 - Another good enchantment that protects all your other enchantments and can tutor one up in a pinch. Starfield of Nyx - $3 - Recursion and a win-con for a reasonable price

Generally, I agree. I can track it down once I have some credit at LGS. It will end up here eventually.
I'm not sure about Ajani's Chosen or Celestial Ancient. I run a couple of token and +1 counter decks and I'd prefer not to add them here. That being said I know it's not ideal to put all of my eggs in one basket so they are a consideration.
Three Dreams - $1 - Again, you run a lot of auras and this tutors for three of them for the low cost of 5 mana.
I prefer not to run tutors if at all possible. That being said, if I can find it cheap I may pick it up.
Enchantress's Presence - $7 - Another Enchantress effect
Yeah, definitely want a copy.
Sterling Grove - $7 - Another good enchantment that protects all your other enchantments and can tutor one up in a pinch.
As above.
Starfield of Nyx - $3 - Recursion and a win-con for a reasonable price
I get how it could be a possibility here. I'd prefer to keep my auras attached to something though. Once they animate, they become vanilla beaters that can be killed easily, and I run very little recursion here. There's no way I'll ever be able to afford Replenish and I can't find a copy of Retether.
I don't feel like either of these are good fits. I probably don't intend to have the density of creatures to justify Aura shards, and Mirari's Wake sort of drops at a point in the curve at which I'm looking to play Sigarda, Host of Herons and start some threats running. I have a copy - it just seems a better fit in Ghave, Guru of Spores where it is at present.
