this requires 3 oblivion rings it is very unlikely with the no fetch or draw you have that you will get this as well as the cat before you are dead the idea is nice ive done similar but that used all the enchantment tutors effectively giving you 12+ o-rings

Your premise is good, but if you are playing a control deck or someone with supreme verdict you get board wiped and then you are left with nothing. You need something to counter their counters. You whole win condition is based off those two cards. Good idea in theory, but it looks to be easily counterable.

with indestructibility and trollhide there is a little defense against field wipes. Predator ooze is always fun to use in aura decks tho, maybe something else to consider

your whole deck is based around getting 3 o rings out quickly. and having at least 4 mana to have ajanis chosen out. while the idea is hilariously awesome it just doesnt seem likely that you would get what you want in your hand. i would suggest finding some cards that let you look for enchantments, or draw cards, and maybe some tutors that way you have a higher likely hood of getting the right cards. and then, as macabeas has pointed out, all it takes is one board wipe and you are doomed. also in an enchantment heavy deck the ethereal armor is going to be your best friend, i would say having all 4 would be a good idea.

Still a pretty creative outside of the box idea. it will be much more possible outside of standard. bravo tho!

this is a really nice deck, the moment i saw this i fell in love with it.. this combo might get to my GW semi-ench deck but not definitely a win condition cause it takes too long to set up BUT I hate to break the fun. I just check the rulings with O.ring in gatherer.magic.com and it says:

"If there are no nonland permanents on the battlefield other than an Oblivion Ring, and the card it exiled was another Oblivion Ring, casting a third Oblivion Ring will result in an involuntary infinite loop that will end the game in a draw (unless someone chooses to break it by putting another nonland permanent onto the battlefield or destroying one of the Oblivion Rings, for example)."

so instead of winning, you are actually saving your opponent from losing and thus results to a draw. if you really wanna pursue this combo, you might wanna add naturalize or Ray of revelation. So once you think you have enough cats, cast naturalize on one of the rings to break the loop and shout "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAA!" then swing with you cats next turn.


**One more thing. if you like enchantments, i suggest investing with Witchstalker. its awesome, and they hate him.

i really dont understand this ruling. as in order to play the first oblivion ring you have to have put it on something. that means that after you o ring the first o ring and start your crazy shenanigans there will be something that came back into play from the initial removal of the first o ring. so you break the infinite loop by simply o ringing the object that was originally o ringed...

You need three o-rings. You play the first one on a non land target. It is exiled o-ring 1 is in play on the battlefield. It is an enchantment it can be destroyed or targeted etc. You get o-ring two and hard cast it on o-ring 1. This exiles it and brings back the card o-ring 1 targeted. Now you have one o-ring (o-ring 2) on the battlefield and o-ring 1 in exile. You get a third o-ring (o-ring 3) you hard cast it on o-ring 2 which is on the battlefield, by doing so it becomes exiled and brings back o-ring 1 which has "When Oblivion Ring enters the battlefield, exile another target nonland permanent." Using o-ring 1 you target o-ring 3 which is currently on the battlefield. This exiles o-ring 3 and brings back o-ring 2 which you then use to exile o-ring 1 which brings back oring 3 which you use to exile o-ring 2 and it just goes on and on until you target something other than an o-ring.

It doesn't really matter what the initial target for the first o-ring is. It's just a place holder till you can get the combo going. Yes it will come back. So you might want to target something you control, or something you want to temporarily remove from your opponents control.

It's easy the loop breaks when you decide to exile the pilgrim or ajani's chosen instead of another ring, of course after creating a million cats.

I could be wrong here but there's a rule that states "421.4. If the loop contains only mandatory actions, the game ends in a draw. (See rule 102.6.)" O-Ring has mandatory clauses, now I guess you could end the loop by choosing a non O-Ring target after generating tons of tokens... hmm maybe I just answered my own question.

At any rate like others have stated this is a neat idea in theory but in execution you have to have a god hand
three O-rings
Ajani's Chosen
Avacyn's Pilgrim
Then a forest and a plains.
Or draw those exact cards in subsequent turns. Nobody's that lucky. At least not consistently enough for this deck to be reliable. Also even if you have a lucky draw by turn two what is your O-ring targeting if your opponent only has land out? As others have said I think this deck depends upon too delicate a combo, even if you get it your opponent could throw a wrench in it. And in the time it takes to get the cards you need any opponent worth their salt should have you on the ropes or beaten.

I'm relatively new to this site (a couple months) but this is the first deck I've seen that truly deserves the Unloved mark you've given it. My best advice is find another build to get jazzed about and put these cats to sleep.

But if you really really want this to work I would suggest some dual lands. Running two colors in and of itself makes things more complex, especially if speed is an issue. Multi-color producing lands can help with this.

If you go bant you gain access to Detention Sphere, which allows you 8 copies of exiling to combo out with.

Blue also gives you counters to protect your combo with.

not sure Detention Sphere works here because it states "and all other permanents that share a name with it." anyway if you have a sacrifice outlet for Rancor you can start being aggressive sooner. From a quick search that would rule out standard though.

Alright, I don't want to come off the wrong way here... so I hope you take this as constructive criticism. This is probably one of the worst standard lists I've ever seen and I hope its a troll.

It literally collapses to maybe 1 or 2 pieces of solid removal. Tragic slip, doom blade, searing spear.

You only have 8 live threats in the deck. Literally only 8. So in an average game, you'll be lucky to have 2 by turn 5. Most decks run spot removal and instant speed removal is gonna easily two for one you. I suppose you could suit up a pilgrim... but its still bad.

Why temple garden? The only tokens are cats. on turn 5, maybe 4 at best.

Simple straight up better card options.
Voice of resurgence > wayfaring temple.
Gladecovere scout > avacyn's pilgrim or even better, instead of troll hide.

Why is troll hide bad? cuz your deck is already highly mana dependent with 4 drops and o rings. Having two mana or more tied down to regen isn't gonna cut it.

ethereal armor x4 > every other enchantment except maybe rancor, courage (and oring for the combo?)

Side note, indestructible is BAD. You need EIGHT mana to stop sorcery-speed removal with it on your chosen. And you still die to tragic slip even with it on.

Consider abundant growth. It cantrips and you are trying to do a combo requiring THREE copies out of 4. You need all the help you can get. It also makes splashing blue really easy... Bant hexproof anyone?

If you put in blue, with shocklands and the such

Giest of st.traft > indestructible or collective blessing or troll hide.

4 more threats and you're on your way to winning games.

Lastly, adding Detention sphere will increase the cards available to combo out with. You still need 2 rings and a sphere, but just 2 d sphere will increase your consistency 50%!

In closing. I love brews. I love scrub combos lol. I'd actually enjoy playing this with the changes. I'm sorry if I came off hard, and I also understand you probably made the list based on cards you own, so I can't expect the money cards. Still, its something to build towards.

LASTLY!!! FINAL TIP.

Ajani's Chosen combos with MANA BLOOM. Use it! Its almost farseek but for enchantment decks. Even without the rings, you can make a cat every turn. VALUE!

maybe t1 gladecover?
t2 rancor + ethereal armor - 5/3 first strike hexproof trampler anyone?
t3 mana bloom + abundant growth - swing for 7 lol!
t4 ajani's chosen
t5 o ring + mana bloom action

Sure, they die to the aggro before the combo happens, but at least you have a plan B if they have celestial flare.

Detention Sphere would work as an o-ring, an it's standard. You just need to splash blue, and that would also open up a lot of control spells to last you until your combo.

detention sphere at least works on o ring and o ring works on detention sphere. with one d sphere and two o rings it makes it not an infinite combo i believe though. pretty sure at one point you are detention sphere ing both o rings at once. but it still gets around 4 cats out depending on what order you do it in. it really is a decent card to add though just for the overall theme of the deck.
of course seeing as this is a budget deck i would assume that most of the cards everyone has suggested (politely or otherwise) probably aren't really an option.

No you wouldn't because only one O-ring would be on the field at any given point.

Play O-ring
Play D-sphere exile O-ring
Play O-ring2 exile D sphere
O-ring enters and exile O-ring2
D-sphere enters and exiles O-ring
O-ring enters and exiles D-sphere and so on

right, not sure what i was thinking there. anyway. then why were you saying that adding d-sphere wouldn't work for the deck? maybe i'm misunderstanding what you were trying to say originally or maybe i was just distracted by the rudeness. not sure, either way i feel like d-sphere would make a good addition to the deck

I might have some ideas to make this combo more consistent:
Add blue to have access to detention sphere.
Trackers instincts and mulch- to fill your gy
Creeping renaissance, auramancer or down//dirty- to bring back the enchantments
wildwood rebirth- to bring back ajanis chosen
oath of the ancient woods- can give you infinite counters with the o-ring trick

Rancor some Mutavaults for added token consistency in the beginning. Tap one, Mutavault becomes a creature,Rancor it, end turn, Rancor goes to hand. Rinse, repeat. Its another bit of consistency when the main focus of the deck fails. Proxy in the Mutavault to see how it will work out.
