Deck Description

Inspired to be a Pestilence deck, Enchantments act as your primary offense and defense with Feldon's Cane as a way to reboot and come back with a vengeance.

Great in Two-Head Giant/Monster, Multiplayer and Single Player Formats.

How to Play

Originally was built to be a plain, simple Pestilence deck but I was inspired with all of the different Enchantments that could feed off of each other or were similar. The constant same in this deck for creatures has been Nightmare. She can grow big enough and still possibly survive Pestilence, when it's out. The creatures are really intended as a "backup" defense and not necessarily needed for an offensive strike.

The offense in this deck is the enchantments. If Pestilence hasn't been played, there are plenty of enchantments to make your opponents get a headache from. Exquisite Blood makes a great combo with all the damage the other enchantments do within the deck and is important to get it out as soon as possible. Dictate of Erebos comes in to play and is great you have to sacrifice a creature such as Nightmare to combat or to Pestilence if not every creature was removed from the board.

Leyline of the Void knocks out your opponents graveyards; so if you play against opponents that use their graveyards to bring instants/sorceries, enchantments/artifacts or creatures back it shuts that down. Unfortunately, this does knock out Mortivore unless you have creatures in your own graveyard.

Herald of Leshrac can become a late game changer as you take control of land after land after land from your opponents for the cumulative upkeep. Herald of Leshrac has the chance to survive Pestilence too if you steal enough land.

Speaking of lands, you have four Bojuka Bog at your disposal. When it comes in to play, target opponent exiles their graveyard. This effect stalls out opponents who use their graveyards. Well worth having it come in tapped, especially if you don't have Leyline of the Void in play.

If your opponents knock out too much of your enchantments, you still have hope by using one your Feldon's Cane. Shuffling the graveyard back in to the library will keep you going and hopefully get you rolling again.

This sideboard has creatures of Herald of Leshrac or Mortivore, another enchantment with Bloodchief Ascension or four instants of Dark Ritual (which could speed up the deck, bring out Herald of Leshrac earlier or Pestilence for a lot more).

Final thoughts though, this deck has so many different game play options that it should entertain your opponents and you long enough to get a WIN. If you control the board you control your destiny with this deck.
