How it grades
Fundamentals 90/100. Plays like Enchantress and Tokens.
This reads as Enchantress · Tokens, built around Go-Shintai of Life's Origin. Every enchantment replaces itself: enchantress effects turn pillow-fort pieces, ramp auras, and removal into a card-drawing engine. The board becomes progressively harder to touch while the deck out-draws everyone. Slow starts are real, so mulligan toward an early draw engine. Its strongest fundamental is land count (37 lands. About 36 fits this curve for Enchantress, with your cost reduction counted); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 9 draw effects (want 12+ for Enchantress).
