Re: Liesa, Shroud of Dusk - Orzhov Midrange

I have been playing the deck for a bit now and I have slowly taken it into a different direction. I was trying out a lot of different ideas and trying to do a myriad of things. Now I am just trying to play Angels and Demons and beating face with them. I added a lot of new threats compared to the old...

Re: Sythis, Harvest's Hand - Classic Enchantress

Sigarda, Host of Herons was my first attempt, in reference to the voltron enchantress. I wanted to try it mostly with Auras to get the enchantress effects but it was fragile, because while Sigarda is hard to remove... the rest of the board isn't. So it felt like an inefficient way to do it. Alongsi...

Re: Sythis, Harvest's Hand - Classic Enchantress

It took me a while to find some time to write a proper review of The Brothers' War set, but here it is. The set is focused heavily on artifacts, so there are not too many interesting cards in this set. The only card I am considering is Meticulous Excavation , but it is probably too niche (damn the ...

Re: [RETIRED]Sythis, Harvest's Hand - Grass Grows, Birds Fly, Sun Shines

I got bored tbh. Funny thing is, I just slapped it back together last week for old time's sake. It's a deck I enjoy playing, but it's admittedly very two-dimensional. Once you play enchantress, you never go back completely😎. But yeah, I get it. You play your auras, draw cards, play more auras, slap...

Re: Sythis, Harvest's Hand - Classic Enchantress

Thank you for this primer. I've recently began experimenting with Enchantress decks and kept struggling to find a path to winning that doesn't involve turning the commander into a voltron :grin: Also great example for writing my own primer. Thank you for your comment! Yeah, Enchantress decks can du...

Hey everyone, I have been quite busy with stuff other than Magic: The Gathering. Decided to do a quick scan of the Dominaria United set.

Re: Liesa, Shroud of Dusk - Life Gain and Loss

Just came here to say that this list looks very solid :) ! I like the combos you are playing as a means to end the game, as opposed to the goodstuff (things like Baneslayer Angel ) that is in my list. I am curious, how does the deck perform in pods? Do you usually win through combat/general damage o...

Re: How many lands is correct (on average)?

I don't really have a set-in-stone number for the amount of lands I run. The number of lands in my decks is dependant on curve, gameplan and the amount of ramp. My decks: - Sythis, Harvest's Hand runs 33 lands - Ezuri, Claw of Progress runs 35 lands - Nissa, Vastwood Seer runs 35 lands - Titania, Pr...

Re: Sythis, Harvest's Hand - Classic Enchantress

I think Banishment is significantly better than Cast Out. How often do you cycle it? In particular, I find the deck can struggle against tokens without a Ghostly Prison effect in play. This offers another out vs those decks, while also offering a value play to remove common permanents, like Sol Rin...

Re: Number of Releases and Frequency

Wizards releasing so much stuff is the reason I try to limit the amount of EDH decks I have. Sometimes the urge to build with all the cool new stuff becomes strong, but I generally rather grab a few cards from every set to update the EDH decks I already own (four at the moment). That way I keep my M...

Okay, it may just be my innate bias towards combat, but are you suuuuuure you can't find just one itty bitty slot for Ancestral Mask ? It gives to the option to just dunk people into oblivion out of nowhere and in a list this awesome, you'll never get less than 10-20 P/T for the modest cost of 3 ma...

Re: Sythis, Harvest's Hand - Grass Grows, Birds Fly, Sun Shines

Good ol' T.P. has been suggested before, but it has three issues I see: 1. It has no offensive function. At least Heroic Intervention can be used to punch past deathtouch and other deterrents, whereas T.P. can only save you and your board. 2. It costs 3, which is quite a bit to hold up in a deck th...

So this deck and I ran into Farewell for the first time yesterday, and I now believe Remove Enchantments may be a pertinent suggestion than I previously thought.

Re: Sythis, Harvest's Hand - Classic Enchantress

Well, this is going to be a very, very short set review :pensive: . There were not much enchantments in the set, and no cards that synergise with enchantments. Nothing is really worth talking about.

Re: Sythis, Harvest's Hand - Grass Grows, Birds Fly, Sun Shines

Oooooh, I see a Sythis list. Just a question, but why didn't you go for Tuvasa? She specifically synergizes with more voltronny builds. She does have the downside of only drawing you one card each turn herself, so you would be more dependent on your other enchantresses. I like the list, very low to ...
