Only Enchantments Need Apply

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

So I decided to create a deck based around the 5 shrines.

His point is for no creatures. He relies on the green Honden to provide him massive creature tokens.

The deck is a good idea. You'll get a lot of love from me. My favorite deck is a Shrine deck as well.

Moeba Beats suggested Mirror Gallery. At first glance it would appear great, but I recomend highly against it. Perhaps this is why you do not have it.

If Enduring ideal gets going, tapping out is a serious problem. If you have all 5 shrines out, you are drawing 11 cards a turn. If you had mirror gallery, you'd be forced to play the other 5 shrines, getting up to 20 per turn, with absolutely no way to replensih your library. Granted your opponent should be long dead, but if they somehow resist the swarm of tokens and red shrine damage, you'd lose after not too long.

If you do NOT have mirror gallery, one might think that after running the loop of all other enchantments (again, extremely unlikely that you're still playing) that you'd be self-destructing your shrines. This is exactly the point.

Avoiding tapping out is solved by (one enduring ideal is played) destroying your blue shrines. If you have one out, summon another to destroy it. Otherwise leave them be, and occasionally summon them both over two turns. This repeatedly gives your graveyard (and therefore library) 2 cards, while preventing the massive drawing that is useless after playing Enduring Ideal.
