Overview:
A mid-range enchantment-focused deck led by Anikthea, Hand of Erebos, utilizing enchantment creatures and value-generating enchantments to build a strong board presence while recycling key pieces from the graveyard.
Primer:
The deck operates on multiple synergistic layers, with enchantment-based card draw from cards like Mesa Enchantress, Eidolon of Blossoms, and Sythis, Harvest's Hand providing consistent value. The strategy involves building up a board state with enchantment creatures and value-generating enchantments while using Anikthea, Hand of Erebos's ability to recur key pieces from the graveyard as zombie tokens.
The deck can win through multiple paths: going wide with tokens from cards like Sigil of the Empty Throne and Archon of Sun's Grace, creating a powerful board state with Starfield of Nyx, or grinding out value through recursive enchantment strategies. The inclusion of cards like Mirari's Wake and various enchantment cost reducers helps accelerate the deck's gameplan.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to mass enchantment removal and graveyard hate, which can severely impact its recursion strategy. It can be somewhat slow to get going, as many of its key pieces are in the 3-5 mana range. The deck also relies heavily on its enchantment synergies, making it susceptible to cards that shut down triggered abilities or prevent casting enchantments.
Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

- Sythis, Harvest's Hand

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the focused casual range, with enough synergy and power to be effective but lacking the explosive speed or heavy interaction of higher-powered decks. It's more resilient than typical casual decks due to its recursion elements and card advantage engines, but slower than optimized builds. The deck would struggle against power level 6+ decks due to their faster speeds and more efficient interaction, but would be too consistent for most power level 4 decks to handle effectively.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
Anikthea, Hand of Erebos
