Overview:
An enchantress-based deck led by Ellivere of the Wild Court that focuses on creating value through enchanting creatures and drawing cards through combat damage, combining Selesnya's strengths in auras and creature enhancement.
Primer:
The deck operates on a two-pronged strategy: building up an army of enchanted creatures while generating card advantage through both combat damage and enchantress effects. Ellivere of the Wild Court provides consistent access to Virtuous Role tokens, which synergize with the deck's numerous enchantment payoffs and enablers. The deck aims to establish a board presence with efficient creatures that benefit from enchantments, such as Kor Spiritdancer and Sythis, Harvest's Hand.
The secondary strategy involves using powerful auras like Bear Umbra and Ancestral Mask to create formidable threats while maintaining card advantage through various enchantress effects. The deck includes several protection pieces and recursion effects to maintain board presence through interaction, while utilizing efficient removal options to deal with opponents' threats.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and mass enchantment removal, though it includes some protection effects. It can struggle against faster combo decks due to its relatively fair gameplay approach. The mana base could be improved with more efficient dual lands and fetch lands, which would help smooth out early game development.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the optimized casual range, showing focused strategy execution with good synergies but lacking the explosive speed of higher-powered decks. While it can generate significant value through its enchantress effects and commander, it typically wins through combat damage around turns 8-10. The deck would struggle against focused competitive decks (7.0+) due to their faster combo wins, but it can hold its own against other casual decks through its consistent value generation and reasonable interaction package.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
