Deck Description

I've been dancing with the Sphere of Safety. An easy to use deck archetype using Sphere of Safety and enchantments can be used to build a lot of different decks. Just take the Sphere of Safety and a handful of useful enchantments and you can build decks using Door to Nothingness, Azor's Elecutors, or in this case life gain.

I enjoy brewing in Magic. I consider brewing to be part of "playing" Magic. It takes time and energy to brew. The decks I brew are budget builds. I feel building on a budget makes sense as expensive cards are usually overpriced and overrated. I do not want to contribute to the predatory financial imbalances that already impact the game. Cards often drop in price post-rotation, so it is often best to delay getting cards.

When you build budget decks and you win, you win. It's not just an expensive win-card doing the work for you, its about skill at combining and playing the cards. It takes more skill to pilot a budget deck as they have less room for error.

Luck, of course, still plays its part.

How to Play

The playtest video of the standard version is here: http://youtu.be/x2y4KFjkJlo Note that the first two rounds are modern version playtests and the third round is a standard playtest which shows how easy the archetype is to adapt to other formats.
