Academy Rector looks fun. How much support do you have to have for that guy?
Card/Deck Enchantress?

The way it played out in the decks I had it was a toolbox that could fetch either a card like parallax wave or a removal spell. If you're running a god like keranos, god of storms you can threaten to fetch that a well, because if you land rector your opponent could have to think about how they're attacking. I was playing against a jund pod player against my boros deck, and he lost after he let me pop my rector to get parallax wave and just oblivion ring away his team for an alpha strike.

My discovery of the other day was this one:
The mythical sorcery speed* 2-mana destroy target creature**.
* For a limited definition of sorcery speed
** Excepting enchantment removal
That's no moon, it's a space station!

Lingering Death was always pretty mediocre in limited. Does no one remember playing with it? Seriously, Reciprocate is a better card, and no one would consider cubing that!

Oh, I'm not saying you should cube with it. It just is that is the most mild condition attached to black 2cc removal at common. To get unconditional kill effects you have to go up to 3cc, or be willing to pay 
.
White is way better 100% of the time, as you get journey to nowhere. Lingering death just seems a bit picante for black at that rarity.

Journey is the exception usually, (Pacifism is oh so slightly worse) and they do both have downsides
Hi everyone! A bit of necroposting here, since I'm looking at my cube and thinking that when I first built it, my favourite archetype was Enchantress (with Argothian Enchantress, Replenish, Serra's Sanctum and stuff like that, not the Kor Spiritdancer and Slippery Bogle version). Anyway, I cut most of the cards only because there weren't enough reasons to move into the archetype and I tried to force it a pair of times but it never was enough.
Now that I'm powering down my cube, and with the new cards from MH2 maybe we could build something interesting. Does somebody in the forum run these cards in their cube? How do you find them?

I've got a bit of an enchantment post here. Not super helpful, but it's more than nothing. I think a lot of the enchantment creatures are good if you power down and it's easy to run W or B enchantment based removal. The idea was looking decent when I made my post a year ago. I'm sure something can work.

red has horrid “enchantress” stuff but a few cool enchantments…
Seal of Fire
Underworld Breach
Raid Bombardment
and there are a LOT of good enchantments in white now that are desirable by any drafter as removal, plus a couple nice pseudo-equipment:
Oblivion Ring
Banishing Light
Cast Out
Pacifism
Journey to Nowhere
Baffling End
Bound in Gold
Dreadful Apathy
Faith's Fetters
Sentinel's Eyes
Gryff's Boon

I'd start by seeing how many enchantment creatures are around the desired power level, as those should be really easy to slot in without being parasitic. Making a lot of the removal enchantment based isn't too difficult and offers an opportunity to cast auras without as much worrying about an instant speed blowout.
The worry with the theme is that it's essentially tribal, so you've got to be careful with how many extremely narrow cards make their way in. Other than that, it should be pretty easy if you're at the right power level.
