Welcome back everyone! Today we play a sweet card: Enchantress's Presence! While Historic has a good enchantment deck that plays Sram, Senior Edificer and Kor Spiritdancer, this enchantment deck is more of a control deck that aims to prey on the aggressive creature decks. I personally think it is more fun than Orzhov Auras or Azorious Auras.

Let's go ahead and look at the decklist!

The deck is about killing creatures and trying to keep the battlefield clean. Enchantress's Presence is extremely powerful to have out as it gets the deck's engine going, but you do not need it to win. The ultimate combo against the creature decks is Nine Lives and Solemnity. Solemnity makes it so Nine Lives cannot gain counters, thus you cannot take damage. That's great against aggressive decks, but the list could use some help against pure control decks. If I played this deck again, I would play a couple of Thought Distortions in the sideboard and I would probably cut the eight-mana enchantments for cheaper threats like Sigil of the Empty Throne. Destiny Spinner is great, but I do not think I want more because Jeskai Control also has access to Lightning Helix.

That's it for today, thanks for reading/watching!
