The Commander

During your turn, Yuna and enchantment creatures you control have trample, lifelink, and ward {2} .

At the beginning of your end step, return up to one target enchantment card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. (If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.)

Guide

Gameplan

Yuna is a GW enchantress payoff that turns your enchantments—especially enchantment creatures—into a lifelinking, trampling, hard-to-remove army while recurring your best enchantments from the graveyard every end step. You ramp into Yuna, flood the board with auras and enchantment creatures, and grind value by reanimating bombs that died or were sacrificed, eventually swinging for lethal lifelink trample damage or assembling an enchantment-based engine.

Strengths

Repeatable enchantment recursion every turn provides relentless card and board advantage
Trample, lifelink, and ward 2 on your turn make attacks both lethal and resilient against removal
Lifelink gain stabilizes against aggro and fuels life-payment effects
Deep, well-supported GW enchantment/enchantress card pool
Finality counters can intentionally exile your stuff away from graveyard hate or sacrifice loops

Weaknesses

Ward and protections only apply during your turn, leaving you open on opponents' turns
Removing Yuna shuts off the anthem and slows the recursion engine
Vulnerable to board wipes and enchantment removal like Back to Nature
Reliant on having enchantments in the graveyard to maximize the trigger
Can be grindy and slow to close versus faster combo decks

Key Cards

Sythis, Harvest's Hand — Premier enchantress draw engine and lifegain that keeps your hand full of enchantments to deploy.
Enchantress's Presence — Draws a card off every enchantment, turning Yuna's deck into a card-advantage machine.
Calix, Guided by Fate — Copies your best enchantment creatures and exiles threats, synergizing with the enchantment-creature theme.
Setessan Champion — Cheap enchantress that grows huge and draws cards as you flood the board with enchantments.
Sanctum Weaver — Explosive mana ramp scaling with your enchantment count to power out Yuna and big enchantments.
Eidolon of Blossoms — An enchantment creature that draws on every enchantment ETB, doubling as a recursion target.
Heliod, Sun-Crowned — Amplifies lifelink into a win engine and a combo piece with lifegain payoffs.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and ramp (Sol Ring, Smothering Tithe, Sanctum Weaver, Carpet of Flowers) to deploy Yuna ahead of schedule and protect her with Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection. Tighten the wincon with a Heliod + Walking Ballista or Spike Feeder lifegain combo, and lean on premium enchantresses (Sythis, Argothian Enchantress, Verduran Enchantress) plus efficient removal-enchantments like Song of the Dryads and Darksteel Mutation. Cut weak auras for impactful, recursion-worthy enchantments so each end-step trigger swings the game.

Enchantment Tokens/Go-Wide — Enchantment creatures benefit from the anthem of trample, lifelink, and ward to attack profitably.
