Deck Description

Damn, there are too many ways to build this:
1. Auramancer and enchantment synergies
2. More Grim Harvests and Kami of the False Hope
3. 8 Creatures (4 monarch 4 guildpact)
4. What I have here
4.1 What I have here, just differnet
4.2 -//-

And so on. Thing is, this is a very loose archetype, you have too many options and too few players with too few experimental deviations from what is at any given moment deemed the norm to find out what the best version is.

For now, I am betting on a terrifyingly middle of the road compromise:
It has monarch while having Grim Harvest while having no Kami
It has no Riftwatchers 2 Clerics and 2 Missionaries
It has Shrieking Grotesque but not Castigate
It doesn't have Custodi Squire and does have a playset of Pestilence

This is one of those decks that I can't seem to theorize into a viable state just by drawing a sample hand a hundred times. So... help pls? xD

How to Play

This is the grindiest midrange deck in the format, it is just below running counterspells or TorEx but above Boros Monarch. It is meant to have the ability to grind whilst retaining the ability to stay low to the ground and stand more than a reasonable chance to win the early game.

Grim Harvest is in my opinion the reason to run Grotesuqe and Missionary. With pestilence in play it allows you to play and kill them at least once a turn, giving you a minor advantage while getting your opponent closer to death every time.
