I really appreciate that you haven't been providing decklists. I like giving us the core of the decks, and letting us find the rest of the answers. Very teacher-like
Agreed. So many other channels provide horrendous decklists anyway. Wheres the point in having a shitty decklist when you can just glance over some stategies and single cards and make your own deck instead?
@@Winterhe4rt Not to mention anybody can just edhrec some base ass build. but explaining the synergies and what yoiu should be striving to do isnt provided easily. love it.
This definitely helped me build my Sythis deck. But I found a way l liked it more than how this presents but it’s still essentially the same with a bunch of defense and becoming practically untouchable. I finally completed mine and it DOMINATED. Really great deck.
You are the best jumbo. Your videos have really helped me improve my deck building. The way you explain interactions has really helped me with card selection. Thank you for all of your deck techs.
This is great! Just watch out that if you want to go Voltron and suit up your Commander with auras that Sterling Grove will give her shroud and make her impossible to target with your own auras.
I've personally built my sythis as what i call 'curiochantress', there are quite a large number of old auras which bounce back to your hand for 1 mana, and in that deck i can quite easily draw 2 or 3 cards for 2 mana. On top of that, with some untappers, i can generate infinite mana with the new sanctum weaver, or combo our using cloudstone curio with a haste enabler, draw through my deck and modern people to death ala heliod + walky B. Sythis is an obscenely strong commander that i think alot of playgroups will overlook at first, until she combos off on turn 5 and wins.
Heliod plus Ballista is marvelous Second Sun is also funny (especially in combination with calix for digging even faster) Shielded by Faith plus Siona for infinite tokens I also really like Meticulous Excavation for sending enemy commanders back And Hallowed Haunting plus Katilda
Hmm.. I think Alhammaret's Archive could be good for the deck too (it may be overkill however), it amplifies the card draw of every draw source in your deck (and the life gain too)
Swapped out my boring Sigarda Voltron, for Sythis and was quite fun, my lists a little Janky but I able to claw back a game after I pillow forted and Sphere of safety'ed. Still not sure about some of the lifegain trigger cards I'm using but enjoying experimenting.
Awesome video, always the best go to commander page for decks. I was building sythis for a bit but i gave up because i couldnt figure out a decent win con. Definitely gonna be my next deck though after i finish getting stuff for Norin
Thanks for the inspiration DJ, was gonna build her after I took apart my Rhys the Redeemed deck and now have lots of good Selesnya enchantments laying around!
I lucked out big time. A friend of mine was super nice, and traded me both his replenish and sanctum. My God is this deck fun. Some of my friends have decks that are an absolute bear to play against, so having a deck that gives them a a little bit of a headache is always entertaining.
Been playing this deck for years. With the amount of enchantresses in the 99 you don’t really need one in the command zone. I go total pillowfort until I win with Opalesence or Starfield of Nyx, and for that I use Sigarda, Host of Herons. She also gives you an extra win con with Ancestral Mask. I don’t run any rocks in this - not even Sol Ring - just enchantment based ramp. Because Shadow Spear has become so prevalent, negating Sterling Grove/Greater Auramancy, I run Stony Silence, Null Rod, and even Pithing Needle. The only artifact ramp I have is Smothering Tithe, but it’s worth the sacrifice if the Spear comes out. For good measure, Avacyn is also there to ensure victory once everything is animated.
@@greatbrandini3967 Yes, you are correct. I used the wrong example. The spear removes the indestructible granted from avacyn, but also causes problems with Privileged Position. I can also name Arcane Lighthouse with the needle.
What do you think about Sythis vs Tuvasa? I have a Tuvasa deck and I was thinking about streamlining it into a Sythis deck, but Tuvasa just provides me with such an easy to assemble wincon….
I heartily recommend playing both Flickering Ward and Whip Silk. Repeatable enchantress/constellation trigger for only two mana per rotation? Sign me up.
Instead of Starfield which opens you to board wipes for creatures AND enchantments, I am going to be running Sigarda's Summons when that's out, along with Nykthos Paragon and a few other creatures that have "everything gets a +1/+1 counter when" triggers, so that my creatures all become base 4/4 flying angels on top of having +1/+1 counters on them. I'm not considering Archangel of Thune because getting infinitely big would be easy, but doing so at instant speed when it isn't my turn, so I can USE those 42k/42k angels is entirely another.
This commander looks like sooooo good. 2 mana for casting a commander that lets you draw card ??? excuse me ? That cannot be bad. You point out very good ideas, great video :)
It always makes me sad that people dismiss Oblivion Ring, Journey to Nowhere, Detention Sphere, Leonin Relic-Warder, Icy Prison, Suspension Field, Fiend Hunter, and even Copy Enchantment type spells. They all have Combo Potential with multiple of the same effects, Sun Titan, and Parallax Wave/Opalescence. You can get loops of Creature ETBs and Constellation Triggers. That supreme synergy is what helps the decks feel a little different and can add that extra bit of needed reach to close out a game with something other than pure damage. This is something Grasp of Fate and Song of the Dryads can't offer.
I prefer playing Tuvasa instead. The color more gives you more options like Propaganda or even a Rhystic Study. And don't forget things like Tunnel Vision into Replenish xD
I’m glad they printed a real enchantress for the CZ, but the access to blue (and therefore, Omniscience, countermagic, Enchanted Evening, and many other fun tools) is just too much of a boon for me to consider dropping Tuvasa. My deck, in particular, would lose way too much of the stuff that makes it unique and interesting if it dropped blue. Sythis will be going into the 99, though.
It's 1 green to draw 1 gain 1 in this deck with just the commander out. I'd say this is the best home for it, not a bad commander with 21 decks on EDHrec.
See I've always sort of wondered about this, could you even run urborg in this deck since it's a swamp land and that's out of the color identity? Ik non lands have to be from the color identity of the commander but I have seen people do gain or scry lands that have a color outside of the identity of their commander like for instance playing a grull turf in a golgari deck since it taps for green
@@s.i.rjewel828 weirdly - normally you couldn’t run a swamp because of colour identity, but Urborg isn’t a swamp while it’s not on the battlefield. It’s typeline is just “legendary land”. So not only can it not be fetched up by fetchlands like Marsh Flats, it can be played in decks without the black colour identity
resurgent belief is unplayable in my meta's power level. but i think sanctum weaver actually out powers serra sanctum in bant lists. it goes infinite with a ton of enchantments you where already running.
I would put in Midnight Guard and Presence of Gond to generate an infinite number of Elf Warrior tokens and Concordant Crossroads to give Haste and swarm my opponents for lethal
Ah yes enchantress. The deck that is one of the most fun to build but the least fun to actually play. I can't say how many variations of this I've built only to play it once and take it apart lol.
As someone who loves Uril, the Mist stalker, I had the deck ages ago and enchantress is typically a flash in the pan for enjoyment and interest. Personally anyway. Watched the video, realized I have most of it to sleeve up, but know I'd get bored of it too quickly :/ not sure why enchantress is that way, but it is
I have a Kenrith / Saga Tribal deck that is almost an enchantress deck, but has a all the interaction with counters I can find / afford. Every pre-kaldheim saga in there. Lots of fun to play and different every time... I have another Kaldheim Saga Tribal with Changelings that is... less effective & fun lol, but still figuring it out.
I really appreciate that you haven't been providing decklists. I like giving us the core of the decks, and letting us find the rest of the answers. Very teacher-like
Agreed, it's a good way to not homogenize things and have everyone building the same deck. Personal spin is part of the fun of EDH!
One of my favorite things about watching DJ's videos, he just kinda shares his ideas with us by happily gushing about stuff.

This is the first time she was printed, not a reprint. Love this and all your videos
THANK YOU DJ. was planning on building her. Great starting off point
I am putting in Kismet because it is one of my childhood cards I have kept all these years. And nobody expects it.
You've convinced me to build Sythis even though I don't have a lot of these cards. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
This definitely helped me build my Sythis deck. But I found a way l liked it more than how this presents but it’s still essentially the same with a bunch of defense and becoming practically untouchable. I finally completed mine and it DOMINATED. Really great deck.

I'm super hyped for Sythis in the 99 of my Sigarda deck
Helix Pinnacle is hilarious as a win con. I'm running it in my version.

so excited to add her too Estrid 😍😍😍
Hehe...estrid is the enchtress queen
Hey,
Can you add you decklist for the decks in the description? What did you add from kamigawa? :)
Heliod plus Ballista is marvelous
Second Sun is also funny (especially in combination with calix for digging even faster)
Shielded by Faith plus Siona for infinite tokens
I also really like Meticulous Excavation for sending enemy commanders back
And Hallowed Haunting plus Katilda
Thank you for these many card ideas! You've helped me construct my own deck. Excited to play test it tonight!
Hmm.. I think Alhammaret's Archive could be good for the deck too (it may be overkill however), it amplifies the card draw of every draw source in your deck (and the life gain too)
Made a cedh version of her and she’s an animal. In cedh deafening silence is an all star and then you out the heliod/ballista combo inside. So good
Swapped out my boring Sigarda Voltron, for Sythis and was quite fun, my lists a little Janky but I able to claw back a game after I pillow forted and Sphere of safety'ed. Still not sure about some of the lifegain trigger cards I'm using but enjoying experimenting.

presence of gond + midnight guard would go great in it
also shielded by faith + Siona would fit too
add an altar of the brood, and that siona combo is nasty

Shadow Spear only removes Hexproof and Indestructible, so it has no effect on Sterling or GA

What do you think about Sythis vs Tuvasa? I have a Tuvasa deck and I was thinking about streamlining it into a Sythis deck, but Tuvasa just provides me with such an easy to assemble wincon….
Heliod + Walking balista is an easy one. The lifegain Part of sythis works also great with heliod
I heartily recommend playing both Flickering Ward and Whip Silk. Repeatable enchantress/constellation trigger for only two mana per rotation? Sign me up.
I built mine a little more aggressive but this is great. She is super consistent
As a person that LOVES running enchantments this commander is PERFECT
I was just looking into this deck
Thanks DJ!
Replenish and Earthcraft: Reserve list and hundreds of $
Privileged Position: Expensive but a fraction of the price but DJ says it’s too expensive
Really helpful and informative.

2 mana for casting a commander that lets you draw card ??? excuse me ?
That cannot be bad.
You point out very good ideas, great video :)
No deck list?
Hoped to see some ways to capitalize on lifegain she provides. Archangel of Thune?
I rlly want to make a deck with her as my commander and Stanfield of nyx as my wincon. BIG HECKIN ENCHANTMENTS
where does it say that her ability activates when she’s not in the command zone
I am also curious about this.
It always makes me sad that people dismiss Oblivion Ring, Journey to Nowhere, Detention Sphere, Leonin Relic-Warder, Icy Prison, Suspension Field, Fiend Hunter, and even Copy Enchantment type spells.

Yes and you can add a phanarmonicon just to make it twice the pain for your oppenent xD
Pls Post the korvold decklist 😍😭
Where can I find the deck list ? Thank you for the video
You forgot Sionna and the enchantment that gives you nearly infinite 1/1 soldiers. and opalescence/starfield activated with paralax wave.
I prefer playing Tuvasa instead. The color more gives you more options like Propaganda or even a Rhystic Study. And don't forget things like Tunnel Vision into Replenish xD

Sweet deck tech! When’s the next time you’ll be on cardkingdom’s twitch?
I have Serra's Sanctum and Sanctum Weaver in my deck... is that mean? Yes. But who doesnt love mana... right?
Elephant Grass is better in a Shizuko Edh deck (Mono Green Ramp hugs commander)
It's 1 green to draw 1 gain 1 in this deck with just the commander out. I'd say this is the best home for it, not a bad commander with 21 decks on EDHrec.
Mind sharing or linking the deck list?
Funny combo - Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Karma. If you’re defensive enough, you will die last while this combo is out.
See I've always sort of wondered about this, could you even run urborg in this deck since it's a swamp land and that's out of the color identity? Ik non lands have to be from the color identity of the commander but I have seen people do gain or scry lands that have a color outside of the identity of their commander like for instance playing a grull turf in a golgari deck since it taps for green

Is there a link to the decklist?
I pulled an urzas Saga, but I play more casual, so idk if I should sell it?
My version runs Siona + Shielded by Faith because #WINCON
resurgent belief is unplayable in my meta's power level. but i think sanctum weaver actually out powers serra sanctum in bant lists. it goes infinite with a ton of enchantments you where already running.
When did 5 mana become "too expensive" in EDH?
True lol. That’s low cost for casual. In cedh he means I would I guess
@@koreyg8552 Even so, green ramps SO hard and getting to 5 mana takes no time at all
Y'all should check out Flickering Ward o3o
I would put in Midnight Guard and Presence of Gond to generate an infinite number of Elf Warrior tokens and Concordant Crossroads to give Haste and swarm my opponents for lethal
Pegasi? Pegasarus
Ah yes enchantress. The deck that is one of the most fun to build but the least fun to actually play. I can't say how many variations of this I've built only to play it once and take it apart lol.
This is definitely my fear.

*pegasuses, not pegisi.
Why’d you pronounce it “Sethis” lol
I'd like to know also.
Not a reprint, easy error for new players I guess
Just play Karametra lol
this channel has really gone down hill
How so?
