Drawing a card and gaining 1 life every time you cast an enchantment spell creates an overwhelming card-advantage engine right from Turn 2. On Moxfield’s high-power and Enchantress charts, Sythis, Harvest’s Hand stands as the undisputed premier commander in the Selesnya () color pair.
As a 1/2 Legendary Enchantment Creature costing just two mana (), Sythis turns every low-cost aura, ramp enchantment, and Stax piece into a card-drawing life-gaining engine. Being an enchantment herself, she triggers Constellation synergies immediately upon entry. Paired with explosive mana generators like Sanctum Weaver, protection hexproof shields like Sterling Grove, and win conditions like Aetherflux Reservoir or infinite mana loops, Sythis draws through your deck while locking opponents out of the game.
Here is the strategic operational blueprint of Moxfield’s premier Sythis list, detailing how to turn enchantment casts into unstoppable Selesnya victory loops.
1. Core Mechanics & Strategic Phases
Succeeding with Sythis requires low-cost enchantment ramp, protective Stax pieces, enchantment draw multipliers, and instant-win payoffs.
-
Early Game (Turns 1–2): Cast Turn 1 enchantment ramp like Utopia Sprawl or Wild Growth, followed immediately by Sythis () on Turn 2.
-
Mid Game (Turns 3–4): Deploy low-cost enchantments like Sterling Grove, Grasp of Fate, and Ghostly Prison to draw through your deck while locking down opposing attacks.
-
Late Game (Turns 5+): Tap Sanctum Weaver or Serra’s Sanctum for massive mana, storm off with cheap enchantments, and eliminate the table with Aetherflux Reservoir or Finale of Devastation.
2. Moxfield Highlights: Enchantress Engines & Lock Pieces
The highest-rated community lists on Moxfield optimize Sythis by stacking cheap enchantment utilities that trigger her ability while generating mana and board lockouts.
Sanctum Weaver / Serra’s Sanctum
Massive mana production. Generating white or green mana equal to the number of enchantments you control turns even small boards into dozens of available mana every turn.
Sterling Grove / Privileged Position
Enchantment protection. Shielding all your enchantments and key permanents with Shroud or Hexproof prevents opponents from disrupting your drawing engine.
Aetherflux Reservoir / Destiny Spinner
Finishing win conditions. Sythis continuously gains life with every enchantment cast, powering up Aetherflux Reservoir to deal 50 damage blasts, while Destiny Spinner makes your enchantments uncounterable and animates lands into massive lethal attackers.
Grasp of Fate / Solitary Confinement
Enchantment control suite. Grasp of Fate removes key threats from all three opponents at once, while Solitary Confinement makes you completely damage-proof since Sythis draws more than enough cards to pay its discard upkeep cost.
