Hey fluffyeel and thanks for your detailed comment!

Argothian Enchantress: Yeah, i thought about to put it in. Shroud is a very nice keyword. Only negative side, that it could not be a target from my own aura. But this constellation is probably rare...

The "protective" enchantments like for example Greater Auramancy: Hmm, maybe i put one ore two in...

The Earthcraft/Squirrel Nest combo: I know this one. But ask me why, i don´t like it. (Didn´t play it in my squirrel EDH-deck either).

Another tutor: Yes, good idea!

Eternal Witness: Only card to get things back is Hall of Heliod's Generosity (and here only enchantments..). Eternal Witness (or Regrowth) could get back a fetch land or anything else. Worth the consideration!

Enchantress decks are always worthwhile. Looking at yours, here are some thoughts:

• My favorite enchantress is Argothian Enchantress: it's as fast as Sythis, plus the counterplay against a permanent with shroud is difficult for very many decks (I've noticed).
• In terms of fun enchantments, Greater Auramancy and Privileged Position are each an extra layer of protection for your board. Other enchantments of varying degrees of enchanted-ness are Abundance (makes a great combo with Sylvan Library); Smothering Tithe (given); Land Tax (you have the basic lands to support it, not to mention you also have land acceleration!); and Sphere of Safety (if you are in a combat-heavy playgroup). There, of course, is the classic Earthcraft/Squirrel Nest combo, but it's quite pricey (money-wise)...
• Enlightened Tutor is highly recommended for getting the important enchantments (and given you have lots of creatures that are enchantments, too...), maybe also with Worldly Tutor as more ways to get the key creatures you want/need/desire. You could also consider things like Eternal Witness and Regrowth for getting back things and stuff.

The retro frame printing of Squirrel Nest from Dominaria Remastered lists the collector number as DMR347, the correct number is 349.

Halo Fountain could work amazingly well with the Earthcraft + Squirrel Nest combo or other "tap an untapped creature you control" activated abilities.

Nice deck! I like to see Earl of Squirrel getting some play :) Have you thought about Intruder Alarm and Dryad Arbor? It would require a blue splash (and some money), but with Squirrel Nest it makes infinite squirrels. One of my favourite combos from back in the day :)

Hi, nice deck! As you use basic forests and Squirrel Nest you could exchange some of the mana elves for Arbor Elf to get more tokens from the nest...

jpmaster321, it works because it’s not adding the tap ability to the creature. You’re activating the ability on the Earthcraft. Summoning sickness is that you cannot tap a creature to attack or activate an ability on itself during the first turn it comes into play. But you can tap the creature to activate a DIFFERENT card. Like Earthcraft or Glare of Subdual.

For example, Squirrel Nest works with Earthcraft and not with Cryptolith Rite, because Cryptolith Rite gives the tap ability to the creature. Essentially the difference between activating the creature vs. activating the enchantment.

ThatWeirdPerson I do know about that combo, but try to do mostly creature based combos so that I can efficiently find pieces that I need. Earthcraft works with my creature based theme, but Squirrel Nest isn’t really on theme. It’s good, and it will draw into some wins, but I’m min-maxing hard, so I don’t have it in the deck.

Squirrel Nest, Combos with Earthcraft for infinite creatures. If you get a lucky draw it might secure a win.
