Overview:

An enchantment-focused deck led by Anikthea, Hand of Erebos that aims to generate value through enchantment synergies and recursion, creating an army of enchantment creatures while controlling the board.

Primer:

This deck operates as an enchantment-based value engine, utilizing powerful enchantment creatures and synergistic effects to build a formidable board presence. The strategy revolves around casting enchantments to trigger various draw effects from cards like Eidolon of Blossoms, Setessan Champion, and Sythis, Harvest's Hand, while simultaneously developing a board state through token generation from cards like Sigil of the Empty Throne and Hallowed Haunting.

The deck's secondary strategy involves graveyard recursion through the commander's ability and cards like Replenish, allowing for resilient play patterns and the ability to recover from board wipes. The inclusion of cards like Parallel Lives can double token production, while protection pieces like Greater Auramancy and Privileged Position help maintain board control.

Weaknesses:

The deck can be vulnerable to graveyard hate, which disrupts its recursion strategy. Mass enchantment removal can be particularly devastating, especially if protection pieces aren't in place. The deck may struggle against faster, combo-oriented strategies as it requires time to set up its engine pieces.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

• Sythis, Harvest's Hand

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 5/10
• Resilience: 7/10
• Consistency: 6/10
• Interaction: 6/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits firmly in the focused casual range, with enough interaction and protection to be resilient but lacking the explosive speed of higher-powered decks. It has strong value engines and can generate significant advantage over time, but typically needs several turns to establish its board presence. The deck performs well against other mid-range strategies but may struggle against both highly tuned competitive decks and aggressive creature strategies that can get under its defenses before the engine is established.

Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0
