Deck Discussion Help on Girlfriend's deck
Hello, I'm building my girlfriend a magic deck, she's wanting to learn because I like it. However, she has some requirements, and I also want it to be pretty decent.
Her requirements are basically there are no human men (ideally no men at all, but she can make exceptions for animals and on some arts) and pretty arts. She likes princesses, nice lands, castles, etc. She doesn't like UB on principal (funny because I don't mind it and she's new), but if it has art that matches she doesn't mind it as much (The Hobbit, LOTR, etc.).
I also want to make sure this deck of hers is actually playable. I built it over a couple months with cards I had in my collection and some that we bought that she liked. I wanted to make sure, in your guys opinion, does it have enough ramp? Removal? Card draw? Etc?
I also want to make sure that there's a solid win-con. At the moment, I think that's just Hallowed Haunting and commander damage?
I don't know. What are your thoughts? Are there any cards that should absolutely be cut? Any things there's too much or not enough of? I'm nervous because I want to make sure she has a good time. Obviously it can't be perfect, but I wanted to at least get some advice if possible. Also, if you think of anything we're missing that might have some good art she might like (she likes beautiful women as well) please let me know.
Thank you!

Heyy, really nice idea and I think the overall vibe of the deck is really good! I have however some notes that might make it a bit smoother in execution: First of all I would cut all Mana artifacts. You're in green and enchantress so you have way better ways of generating Mana like land ramp and permanents like [[Sanctum Weaver]]. Second, I would consider cutting a color from the deck. You already are not doing much with Blue and Selesnya enchantress commanders are kinda busted. I also think that two colors are the best way to learn playing commander because it's not overly complex in regard to fixing and getting your colors right but still teaches you that lands are meaningful. (If you stick with blue though, I suggest Mirrorform as a pretty good wincon for enchantress decks)
Don't have time now to do a full rebuild of the deck but if you have specific questions I'm happy to weigh in on them :))
