MTG Salvation

So I recently rebuilt my 'casual' Enchantress Deck.

I've been running Sterling Grove & Privileged Position and doing just fine, but today, I rediscovered Greater Auramancy.

Now. Is it just me, or is this waaaaaaaaaaay superior to Position in this deck? Like 'gobs and gobs' superior?

Just posting this before I go and pick up 4, just in case there's something I'm missing.. Seems there almost always is.

Can you post a link to your Enchantress deck so I could give a better discussion about it?

i really prefer greater auramancy, 2 cmc its very fast vs 5 cmc...
but remember, privileged position protects lands, artifacts and others
like said above, if your deck runs too much planeswalker, artifacts and generate a lot of tokens for win, may be privileged has a spot...

Sujb-optimal, yes..



Not exact, but close..yeah.

First thing I plan to do is replace the Verdurans & Mesas w/4 Enchantress's Presence. Really a no-brainer.

I don't feel like paying for Argothian Enchantresses (don't even really think they're all that anyway), and buddy of mine already runs Gatherer+Rancor+Sigil fo the Empty Throne or else I'd probably do it too.

I recognize the need for Elephant Grass even if I don't know where I'll squeeze them in.

But yeah, this is it, more or less..

Back when I built it, I had every intention of running Enchanted Evening + Fracturing Gust but I just ran out of slots SOOO fast. Sucks. I really wanted to pull that out in a big 5-way chaos game sometime..nasty. Maybe it's actually more like 'suicidal'. *shrug*

Pick them up anyways, they're dirt cheap and you are mister I-build-the-best-green-deck-possible. ^^

On a more serious note, Position also protects your Enchantresses unless you only run the Pressence and the one that already has shroud.
That said, a list showing what Auramancy wouldn't protect and in how far it hinders your deck. edit: nathed.

Run with Position, you have way too much creatures to protect to consider Auramancy.

Your deck direly need Exploration

Yeah yeah.. Well it's certainly no 'Ice Deck' but it will play..

They really are cheap which is what's got me second-guessing myself. I can't believe this card isn't being run in, like, all the Legacy builds..seems PERFECT.

I'm gonna pull the trigger and pick up some of these.

Thanks guys!

a long time ago the casual forum helps me to build a enchantment only deck
the wincons are sigil and flickering ward / rancor or sacred mesa + serra's sanctum

In my opinion, yes, & I'm a huge Privileged Position fan. Instant speed removal can still do you in, just prior to enchanting the creature/playing Greater Auramancy, but that's (significantly) about it in my mind.

Keep in mind though, that shroud works against you as well (say, for instance, Kor Spiritdancer, for one enchantment on it will hinder you going forward, or just trying to load up one creature with enchantments, etc.).

Hand. Forehead. *SLAP*

And so, finally, we have uncovered the reason why Legacy builds (and mine) will not be running this particular card over Priveleged Position.

I applaud your superior attention to detail, sir.

Oh well..that's really a bit of a bummer.

(Thanks everyone though. I've gotten some really interesting ideas and new directions to take this thing..really, thanks!!)

The only problem I can see is that greater auramancy gives them shroud so you wouldn't be able to target your enchantments either
