That thread did give me a few suggestions, thanks. I'm not running the same Aura subtheme that he is, but found a few other enchantments I had missed.
I don't think I need as many creatures as I have in here, but I'm racking my brain trying to figure out which ones are the most redundant.
Witness, Rector, and Sun Titan offer recursion.
Avacyn, Elesh Norn, and Vorinclex are the big guys.
Jubilation, Mindcensor, Abolisher, and Linvala are disruption.
Reliquary, Tusker, Magus, Elder, and Simulacrum are ramp. (Magus is also situational card draw, which is nice.)
The three Enchantresses are a given.
Stonecloaker is grave hate that can abuse Aura Shards and my other ETB creatures.
Scavenger Ooze is efficient grave hate that can become fat.
I should start working on this deck, I think. Take a break from infinite combos and just have a bit of fun with enchantments.
There is still an infinite combo in the form of Opalescence + Parallax Wave + ETB things, but it's relatively minor.
Also, my list has 103 cards in it right now. I need to cut three, four if I want to add Open the Vaults. The only card I can see that may be cut is Aura Shards, and only because I'm not particularly heavy on creatures to use with it.
I would run more ramp-based creatures. Cut Elder for Farhaven Elf, run Wood Elves, maybe Yavimaya Dryad... Wood Elves and the Dryad are great since they don't target basics either, so you can fish out your Temple Garden.
Added Choke to the decklist because of the ubiquitous-ness of U.
Still not sure whether or not I'd want to run Gaddock Teeg. On the one hand, he prevents the casting of a lot of spells that could trouble my game plan. On the other hand, he also prevents me from casting a lot of my own spells. Genesis Waveing into him, though, seems fairly solid depending on what else the Wave hits.
One of those things I wouldn't know without trying him out, but I only own maybe 15 or so of the cards in this decklist, not counting basic lands.
Adding those three would put me up to nine legendary creatures, one legendary artifact, and three legendary lands for Sisay to tutor up. Not the largest assortment ever, but it seems more than respectable.
I don't want to stray too far from the 'Enchantress' theme, though.

It seems like you want to end up in the same place Weebo did, and his lists are always helpful.

- Wrath of God
- Oblation
- Kodama's Reach
+ Hallowed Burial / Terminus (considering my username, I really ought to run Terminus in a deck...)
+ Wood Elves
+ Oblivion Ring (it's like Oblation, except Sun Titan can recur it)
+ Open the Vaults

If I switch over to Sisay, I would most likely add in Dosan the Falling Leaf, Saffi Eriksdotter, and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger as extra targets for her. (No Karmic Guide or Reveillark, though. I'm deliberately avoiding potential infinite combos in here. Although they're both great creatures on their own.)
