I thought with yet a new set on the horizon I'd start a Best of series .... rather than steam in with something like creature, let's start with best enchantment

What is best Magic Duels enchantment to date!

Assuming this is like a career award and not just a discussion about what is good only right now, that's easy. As much as I despise the archetype and think it's terrible, no card has spammed a deck that managed to stay relevant for so long like Sphinx's Tutelage did and still does.

Definitely Tutelage.

Evoleap was a total house that sadly doesn't do as much these days but it genuinely dominated games back in the Origins days.

Fevered Visions and Oath of Nissa are very good, though the current meta isn't kind to burn or PW decks.

Meh... IMO Fevered Visions is king, then Always Watching (although currently not as good as it will be again soon).

1) Tutelage
2) Fevered visions
3) Angelic destiny
4) Valor in akros (honestly think it's taken over always watching as of AER)
5) Flameshadow

I don't see how Tutelage doesn't win this title.

Honorable mentions to Fevered visions that is copilot of Tutlelage.dec and gonti's machinations in the 2HG setting.

Gideon, ally of zenzikar hands down, it's even protected by enchantment removal because it just wasn't pushed enough.

Fun fact, call the bloodlines was somehow playable in standard as a fringe sideboard card a couple of seasons ago, I guess it's a terrific answer to fevered visions among other things.


A decent one that hasn't been mentioned is ulvenwald mysteries

Véhicules have taken the spot of enchantments in most of my decks. I barely even play enchantments anymore

If I HAD to choose, I'd go with Vessel of Nascency. Lock me in on that, Regis

1) Tutelage. Defining a whole archetype is VERY powerful.
2) Oath of Nissa. Green Ponder? Yes, please.
3) Fevered Visions. Strong anti-control tool; unfortunately not well-placed currently.
4) Tezzeret's Touch. Not quite Ensoul Artifact, but getting the artifact back upon removal is pretty great as well.
5) Angelic Destiny. Recurrable threats are amazing; this definitely fits the description.

Honorable Mentions: Always Watching, Evoleap, Call the Bloodline.

Also there are some enchantments I want to like,but they are just too slow (Hidden Stockpile, Ulvenwald Mysteries).

I would have thought evoleap would feature more but I think it is a symptom of what has happened to the meta since KLD and maybe even a bit before. I don't think crats is as viable as it is giving up a creature and usually that means tempo where turn 2 onwards are putting out more credible threats. Artifacts and vehicles in particular can take over.

Always watching is still good because of the double bonus but Humans were also pegged back by vehicles.

Although you would think the rise of artifacts would have led to more chant hate and some do run that, reclamation sage having a revival but at the same time the meta delivered better all round tools in fatal push and harnessed lightning which are running legitimately ahead of the older tools.

I'd have to agree Tutelage is a top contender still though I hate mill. Fevered visions though was a surprise, not to say that it isn't a valid option and has been picked by quite a few and those that do tend to know what they are talking about ;).
