Why Play Sythis, Harvest's Hand

Enchantress decks gain a powerful two-mana engine that provides both card advantage and life stabilization. The combination of card draw and life gain on every enchantment spell creates explosive turns where you can chain multiple enchantments together while staying ahead on resources. Deploy Sythis early to maximize value from your enchantment-heavy gameplan, as the cumulative card advantage quickly overwhelms opponents who can't answer her immediately.

Format Notes

Commander represents Sythis's strongest format, where she helms popular Selesnya enchantress decks that leverage the format's higher life totals and longer games. Modern enchantress builds occasionally include her as additional copies of enchantress effects alongside Argothian Enchantress. Legacy and Vintage see minimal play due to faster, more efficient options available in those formats.

Combos & Synergies

Enchantress creatures like Argothian Enchantress and Eidolon of Blossoms stack triggers for overwhelming card advantage when casting enchantments. Sterling Grove provides protection while tutoring key pieces, making your enchantress engines more resilient. Aura-based strategies benefit greatly since cards like Ethereal Armor and All That Glitters become cantrips that also advance your board presence and life total.
