    I agree. The build I run right now is GWR (naya) with the Emrakrul-Karakus win con (Words and Obedience flavor). I actually ended up cutting Sigil for Blind Obedience, since I found the former underwhelming half the time. You're right though, Assemble is slow-cool- but slow and between the two, Sigil is better. I think I will tinker with it, see if I like it or if I can pull off any cute tricks with it.

    Okay, I have an idea for Enchantress- its either really good or really, really, bad, and right now I am leaning towards the latter, haha. Okay, ready? Assemble the Legion! I don't know, SotET is really good, especially with Mana Bloom, but it does make you draw an awful lot, and the soldiers from AtL have haste. I don't know, its silly, but I think it has potential. Just give it some thought.

    I have personally found that 2 Enlightened Tutor, 1 Green Sun's Zenith, and 4 Sterling Grove to be working well, especially since you have Mirri's Guile to give you draw manipulation. More than 1 Green Sun's Zenith with that much search is greedy. Also, an Enlightened Tutor is not a replacement for any enchantment, especially Mana Bloom, since it doesn't give you the triggers, bounce to your hand, or keep you locked in the way Mana Bloom does, though that's just my opinion Smile

    @Claymore-One: You will probably want to splash another color for a win-con, like Words of War, or something similar. Ground Seal is fantastic since Rest in Peace does shut of Replenish and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (if you're running that flavor). What you could do is run the Rest in Peace, Helm of Obedience flavor main deck (I've seen it creeping up all over the place!) and cut Replenish; it also doesn't require splashing a third color and having to worry about the mana base, if that is a concern for you. Hope I was helpful!

    @ phelan: I ended up dropping an Enlightened Tutor for it, and only run one. The card itself isn't very good, but it is a reliable for the draws.

    @WeapnX : Mana Bloom is not meant to store up mana, it just cantrips for you EVERY turn, in a deck where not cantripping off an enchantment on a turn can be devastating. The deck relies on being able to cast enchantments and draw off them. Its a solid one of, no more than that. its going to bounce to your hand on your upkeep, which means pitching cards to Solitary Confinement is not as painful, and even if you lock in, but get bad draws, you will still be filling your hand by casting it every turn. I see no reason why you wouldn't run it; its the strongest asset to the deck.

    Mana Bloom is incredible in the deck. It adds consistency to a fragile deck list. You will always have an Enchantment to cast so you won't fizzle. If you're up against Goblins, Game 1, and they have a good hand, chances are you have to go turn 3, which means, 1 Enchantress and a Solitary Confinement, but if you have Mana Bloom, even if you draw all lands, you still won't fizzle. That's just one example of how its makes the deck better, it has never been disappointing in a match, even against CounterTop and RUG.

    While Sigil of the Empty Thrones is a solid win condition, I have been disgustingly underwhelmed by it. I feel like there is something better that can help Enchantress get there and affects the board state more. I don't like main board Humility, it shuts off Argothian Enchantress too hard and it shuts off Emrakul, of the Aeons Torn as well. I love Humility as a sideboard choice though Smile Blind Obedience is really good to get your life total back up, especially when you're getting bled by Deathrite Shaman, and it slows down Combo Elves and Show and Tell, which is sweet but its CMC makes it vulnerable

    How does the interaction between an indestructible Palisade Giant and Repercussion work?

    Please use card tags in future posts. The Forum Guidelines explain how to do that. ~ Hendrik

    I've been playing Enchantress for quite some time now, and I've been very disappointed with Sigil in the deck, though its a very stable choice, especially with the addition of Mana Bloom to the deck, however, I am unsure as to what is the best card to be the replacement. At the recommendation of some very seasoned Enchantress players, I have tried Blind Obedience as an additional win condition, but I find that the need for it to be a 2-of is taking away from the deck, especially with how tight the slots anyways. Also, Exploration is so hit or miss, but with the meta, so is Elephant Grass. Thoughts?
