Rubinia Soulsinger

[JediCheese]

So here is my Rubinia Soulsinger deck (3/24/2010). There are only a few changes that I want to make and it involves tuning a few cards and/or upgrading to (way) more expensive cards.

The deck is an enchantress deck that is my reinterpretation on Pat's Hanna deck. It just only focuses on enchantments and usually just steals everything and beats people with their own creatures (or goes for an Opalesence/Enchanted Evening lock).

Cards I want to put in but don't own:
Moat
Aura Thief
Academy Rector
Aura of Silence
Windswept Heath
Tropical Island
Savannah

So some mods to the deck as I've unarchived the deck and am rebuilding it:
1) Replace Elspeth, Knight Errant with Elspeth Sun's Champion. Overall, I would rather have 3x 1/1 tokens as I tick up toward ultimate. Yes, the ultimate isn't as great but I think I could build an army of tokens and the jump ability on the original Elspeth isn't that useful.
2) Add Jace, TMS
3) Add Sphere of Safety, Eidolon of Blossoms, and Kruphix's Insight
4) Update manabase (Command Tower + friends from new sets)

Possible upgrades:
1) Kiora the Crashing Wave. Definitely a finisher, but she could be used for her explore abiltiy and/or lock out biggest creature. I'm not sure if she fits and adds enough.
2) Kruphix, God of Horizons. This is the only god available in this deck that it would be interested in playing. The deck could play Heliod or Thassa but I'm less enthralled with either of them.
3) Aura Thief. Gimme! The real problem is he combos well with Enchanted Evening, but in many cases there aren't that many enchantments I want to steal.
4) Darksteel Ignot vs Chromatic Lantern. I don't think I have mana troubles enough to run Chromatic Lantern but it might be an addition or replacement in the deck.
5) More counterspells. With the new M15 wipe all enchantments, I'm not sure how the deck will work without heavier counter magic.
