i tried out an enchantress deck once in t2, while it was still legal with scars block... andForced Worship might have been THE card that made the deck work. i am STUNNED not to find it here. It´s pseudo removal and is an engine with enchantress
That card seems really bad compared to choices like Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety, and Prison Term. It's also really slow to be an "engine" with Enchantress. A better choice for that would be Mana Bloom.
Yeah, I'm going to have to brew up my own list since RTR had lots of enchantment love. Not sure on UW Prison or GW Aggro. I'll try to give it a whirl and post my results in a couple of weeks.
This deck can definitely run two different ways. An aggro version opens you up to 2-for-1's (would be much better if Ancestral Mask and Armadillo Cloak were legal), but it's still doable. With a prison-style deck, I believe there is enough hate for the meta available.
I'm running a prison version at a GPT on the 21st. I'll report the results.
I've gone with Hyena Umbra as Enchantress protection for a number of reasons. Once you have Greater Auramancy out, the only way to kill it is with a wrath effect, and Hyena Umbra stops that once. First Strike isn't necessarily irrelevant either, as it turns an Enchantress into a weenie blocker.
Sphere of Safety from RTR is perfect in this deck. It's a tad slow, but extremely strong and worth it as a 2-of. The maindeck can hold it's own again a variety of strategies, and the sideboard shores up the matchups. Mass Enchantment removal is nonexistant from sideboard, so once Greater Auramancy lands, we're relatively safe.
