How it grades
Fundamentals 92/100. Plays like Enchantress and Reanimator / graveyard.
This reads as Enchantress · Reanimator / graveyard, built around Terra, Magical Adept // Esper Terra. 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. Terra, Magical Adept // Esper Terra sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is land count (35 lands. About 36 fits this curve for Enchantress); the first thing to tighten is mana reliability: 82% of your spells arrive on time. Counterspell is the riskiest: its U cost is heavy for this mana base, so expect it several turns late.
