I play GWu RiP-Helm Enchantress that's less focused on the engine, so I can play 4X
Humility in my 75, which is a big part of my game plan against D&T and Elves. So, the strategies and soft spots don't overlap w/ trad Enchantress 100%, but they overlap enough.
The Top ban has opened up a bit of SB space and I'm brainstorming about Elves options. Humility's great, but can be slow, so I'm hoping to find something I can jam more quickly.
First consideration: Nullifies the
Reclamation Sage/
Wirewood Symbiote combo, which Humility does. Is there nothing else that does, besides creatures (not a good fit) and sweepers (no candidates)?
- It has to cost less than 4, even though it'll be Decay bait
There are things like
Authority of the Consuls that cost 1 and will slow them down, but won't stick around, and aren't needed against many other decks
- There are options that partially shut off Sage/Symbiote
Engineered Plague: will get hit by Sage, but Sage'll die; would require :b:; nice with
Sterling Grove
Cursed Totem: grabbed by E. Tutor too; hits D&T; shuts down Symbiote but it'll be back on once Sage hits knocks off Totem
- I'd like it to hit another matchup that needs help, e.g. D&T, Storm, BGx, tempo, etc.
tldr: Any (faster) Elves tech besides Humility that won't get eaten by Sage/Symbiote?
Any other worthy bridges to Humility, if that doesn't exist?
Actually, looking at new D&T lists with Recruiter, Prelate and Flickerwisp, and fewer relevant activations, maybe I should run fucking
Torpor Orb :laugh: Not really serious there.
I'm also open to ramp to land existing hate more quickly, but came up empty.
Exploration was hit-and-miss.
Fertile Ground seems meh.
