So I've been hearing about different versions of the Enchanted Evening control decks that seek to use Tranquility effects like Patrician's Scorn as a pseudo-Jokelhaups to Disenchant the world and I thought I would suggest one.
By the way, that opening passage was just because the editors like to highlight all of the card names that they can find in a given sentence in my blogs all of the sudden. Kinda weird...
Anyhoo, most of the lists are Green-White and utilize Glittering Wish to be able to get the Enchanted Evening or whatever else they happen to want (such as another Tranquility effect in Fracturing Gust) and win via Twilight Shepard allowing you to persist herself back on to an empty board. Other versions I have seen are more fanciful Green-White decks running an Idyllic Tutor suite for the Barren Glory win-con. You can even hide it under an Oblivion Ring for instant gratification! The earliest version that I saw attempted to capitalize on turning everything into enchantments via the Evening and then... use Spring Cleaning plus Harbingers? Oh well, all ideas have to come from somewhere.
But I think that they are missing something very important.
You don't even need Green!
This opens up a whole range of possible win conditions that don't require huge mana to cast. After all, you are typically blowing up the world so mana may be tough to come by.
My personal favorite is courtesy of an old friend...
Hooray Greater Gargadon! So the plan is (obviously) to pop the Enchanted Evening with either Fracturing Gust or Patrician's Scorn when there is only one counter left on Big Bad Gargs, lay a land, sack it to free your guy from Purgatory then attack with your minty fresh 9/7 on the empty board. You should be able to win from there.
The secondary win-con in there are the singleton Barren Glory and Oblivion Ring. You can probably just cast Barren Glory and then Scorn in response ftw, but there's also an O-Ring on it (or Gaddock Teeg)... just in case.
They are going to link to the card 'Purgatory' aren't they? Silly editors.
Kinda sux that there are so many articles flying around about this deck comming into Hollywood, I personaly found this to be a very good possibility of a "from left feild" type of deck that could have taken a deep journey possibly onto sunday. I still think that most versions are focusing on the wrong aspects of the possible builds, but as I am one to beat a dead horse from time to time I will very possibly be piloting this deck in the comming weeks in Hollywood. But alas I am sure with the amount of attension that the deck is garnering in articles and forums plus the splash damage that is undoubtably going to come from Swans hatred, Im sure I will just scrub out!!! Enough about my demons; just as food for thought, has anyone realy thought about the fact that this deck is severely underpowered against every other tier1 and 1.5 decks out there right now? I mean think about it, its not as good a combo deck as 'Lark, its not as good at control as the Fae, it isnt as potent as the late game monstosities as BIg mans either GR or GW (personaly I think GWb is the best here but another thread for sure) and its not as fast as the elves or the mountains. Doesn't anyone think that it should try and focus in one direction realy hard and try to corner that market???????
