So with Pharika's debut, I set out brewing. I wanted to make an enchantment based deck, that uses the new constellation mechanic along with the old school enchantress creatures to generate value and grind out wins. Right now, I have the following:
I had a similar idea, and this is what I've come up with. Its still missing 5 or so cards, but it may help.
EDIT: It started out more Volrton-ish, but I added in lots of "When things die" effects to get maximum value out of her snakes, and now its more about waiting for the opportune time to pump Pharika up and wreck face. You'll never really be using your snakes on yourself unless you absolutely need it; the idea is to give them to opponents when you need a mutual threat destroyed, but still ensure that it benefits you more than anyone else. There are several ways to kill all of the snakes if they start working against you; various wraths, well-timed Doomwake, Massacre Wurm at any time, Engineered Plague. I tried a constellation deck with her and it just didn't work. You would be 100% better off just recurring your dead stuff than trading them for slightly better than average chump blockers and some sparse triggers that quickly become irrelevant once you have no cards left. I don't have Blood Artist or it's weaker alternative in because they generate lots of hate really fast.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.

Interesting list, i'll probably use a few of the enchantments, namely the seals.
-Voltron out with Pharika and a few choice auras. (Namely Ancestral Mask/Rancor)
-Bleed out my opponents with stuff like Baneful Omen, Hecatomb/Urborg, and Primal Order.
-Support enchantments like Into the Wilds, Primeval Bounty, Oath of the Ancient Wood, Abundance/Sylvan Library and Pernicious Deed.
-Hate enchantments such as Titania's Song, Lethal Vapors, The Abyss, and Nether Void.
So, given the above information, does anyone have any suggestions that fit into the categories, or anything else in general? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!

Yup! Already have Erebos, Necro, and Arena. Probably will pass on Greed for now.
