The Commander

Each creature that's enchanted by an Aura you control can't attack you or planeswalkers you control.

At the beginning of your end step, each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is the number of Auras you control.

Guide

Gameplan

Eriette turns Auras into a slow-grind drain engine: enchant your own creatures for buffs and enchant opponents' creatures to neutralize their attackers, then bleed the table each end step for life equal to your Aura count. You build a critical mass of cheap Auras, protect Eriette, and either steal threats with control Auras or assemble a quick voltron/combo kill.

Strengths

  • Built-in repeatable drain that scales with your enchantment count and hits all opponents at once
  • Defensive engine—control Auras on enemy creatures shut down their attacks while padding your X
  • Lifegain offsets aggressive decks and fuels payoff cards
  • Low mana value commander that's easy to recast and supports a focused theme

Weaknesses

  • Extremely vulnerable to board wipes and targeted enchantment removal—your Auras two-for-one you fast
  • Drain is slow; without a combo you can run out of time against fast decks
  • Two-color identity limits ramp and card draw compared to bigger color decks
  • Relies on having creatures (yours or opponents') to enchant

Key Cards

  • Aura ShardsRepeatable artifact/enchantment removal that punishes the whole table while you flood Auras.
  • Sigil of the Empty ThroneEach Aura cast makes a 4/4 flyer, turning your enchant-heavy deck into a fast clock.
  • All That GlittersCheap Aura that grows huge with your enchantment/artifact count for explosive voltron damage.
  • Daxos, Blessed by the SunGains life off every enchantment entering and dying, reinforcing the drain plan.
  • Kenrith's TransformationCheap control Aura that neutralizes a threat, replaces itself, and adds to your end-step drain.
  • Eidolon of Blossoms / Setessan ChampionConstellation card draw keeps your hand full as you chain Auras (run black/white-castable enablers).
  • Doom ForetoldA grindy sacrifice engine that synergizes with cheap Auras and pressures opponents' permanents.

Upgrade Path

Add efficient enchantment removal and protection (Aura Shards, Generous Gift, Swords to Plowshares) plus card-advantage engines like Enchantress's Presence and Argothian Enchantress to avoid running dry. Lean into a combo finish—On the Job-style Aura recursion or copying effects—so the drain becomes a closer rather than just incidental. Tighten the curve with cheap impactful Auras and add fast mana like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and mana rocks to deploy threats ahead of removal.
