Hmm (Daxos Needs More)

"Where are the enchantments in your enchantment deck?" Noah asked. 

Which was a fine question, since I'd managed to play all of two enchantments and then a whole lot of not much else to increase my Experience counters. 

So let's get a count: 32 cards with the Enchantment type. That seems pretty good! But it's never a bad idea to see if I can get further. 

Of the cards left over 7 are artifacts:

Sol Ring
Lightning Greaves
Commander's Sphere
Orzhov Cluestone
Orzhov Signet
Wayfarer's Bauble
Idol of Oblivion

Of these, 5 are mana related cards, leaving Lightning Greaves-a crucial protection spell for Daxos- and Idol of Oblivion. Idol effectively says: 3, T: draw a card in a Daxos deck but it does require Daxos to be in play and active to work. So put the Idol in as a 'maybe, since tokens can probably be more easily generated in G/W and B/W ought to give me other ways to draw cards and making a vanilla 10/10 is not a thing. 

There are 13 creatures:

Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts
Kor Sanctifiers
Treasury Thrull
Silent Sentinel
Bastion Protector
Exquisite Archangel
Burnished Hart
Corpse Augur
Ajani's Chosen
Celestial Ancient
Minthara, Merciless Soul
Monk Idealist
Mesa Enchantress

Here things get a little more interesting. Of these, Tesya Minthara, Celestial Ancient, Silent Sentinel and Treasure Thrull are probably too powerful to cut and I don't know about a replacement card. Monk Idealist, Ajani's Chosen and Mesa Enchantress all have good synergies. 

That leaves Bastion Protector, Corpse Augur, Kor Sanctifiers, Burnished Hart, and Exquisite Archangel. Bastion makes a case for itself, the Sanctifiers are removal, Hart helps boost mana-and this is a mana hungry deck-so while those cards are all questionable, they aren't on the chopping block yet.

Archangel is the glory of cool things-it just keeps me from losing, it doesn't let me win. (Though it does represent a win condition!) Corpse Augur is almost certainly a better card for a different deck 

That leaves the final 8 cards:

Inkshield
Righteous Confluence
Deadly Tempest
Rise to Glory
Death Grasp
Dawn to Dusk
Gild
Ancient Craving

Rise to Glory and Dawn to Dusk have synergies with the deck and Inkshield could represent a win condition on its own. Ancient Craving, Gild and Death Grasp all fill important roles. Righteous Confluence and Deadly Tempest aren't cards I think that help me the way I need help. 

So: four cards for certain to substitute. Smuggler's Share and Smothering Tide both seem like good candidates. Wedding Announcement isn't off the table. Kaya's Wrath could be what I need to help me get through creature stalemates.

Got some business happening, so no more posts this week but I'll catch everyone next week!
