5. Destiny Spinner (50%)

This lovely utility enchantment creature prevents Sigarda from being countered, which is a key way players can interrupt our plan.

Also, as Dana astutely points out, "It can also stop someone from countering that potential game-ending enchantment, like Ancestral MaskAncestral Mask or Battle MasteryBattle Mastery."

6. Sterling Grove (50%)

This enchantment staple used to be over $15. With a reprint in Modern Horizons 2, it's delightfully hovering around $2 now.

Dana adds, "Unlike Greater AuramancyGreater Auramancy, it doesn't stop you from enchanting your already-enchanted creatures, or from enchanting a Heliod or Nylea in a pinch."

7. Mark of Sakiko (8 decks)

Dana: Mark of SakikoMark of Sakiko is in just 8 Sigarda decks overall. The worst case scenario here is almost always spending 1G to get 5 mana back since it's almost impossible to stop at least one swing with an evasive, hexproof body. Then, someone wipes the board and it goes away. Much more realistically though, thanks to Sigarda being hexproof and rarely just dealing 5 damage, you might generate 8, 10, 12, or even 20 mana off a single swing, and there's a decent chance it sticks around for multiple turns. And, if someone wants to blow a DisenchantDisenchant on Mark of Sakiko? Well, that's a win too.

8. Season of Growth (2%)

Dana: This is really only relevant if you're playing some kind of Enchantress or Enchantment Voltron deck. Season is currently in just 2% of Sigarda decks, and just 6,567 decks overall. The problem here, I think, is Season of GrowthSeason of Growth says, "Whenever you cast a spell that targets a creature you control, draw a card." If it said, "Whenever you cast an Aura that targets a creature you control, draw a card," it would see more play, but it's easy to miss as a draw engine if you're doing a Scryfall search for cards that say "Aura" or "enchantment".

Plus it draws you a card off Hunter's InsightHunter's Insight, Soul's MajestySoul's Majesty, and Hunter's ProwessHunter's Prowess.

9. Instill Energy

One key thing Sigarda is missing is haste. Sure, we can throw on some BootsBoots (17%) or GreavesGreaves (11%), but why not lean into the theme? Instill EnergyInstill Energy can trigger all of our card-drawing Enchantress effects for one green mana, effectively cycling itself if we're digging for answers. It also provides pseudo-vigilance with its second ability, which can be pretty relevant if we're hoping to swing in but also want to leave up a blocker on defense.

Dana also likes Hall of the Bandit LordHall of the Bandit Lord as a haste enabler, since the deck often has enough lifegain to make up for it.

10. Molting Skin (2 decks)/Broken Fall (11 decks)

These are two of my favorites. There may be more optimal choices, but let me make a case for them. Sometimes, we'll need to tap out for Sigarda, and if a board wipe happens after, that we'll be pretty sad. These enchantments prevent most destruction-based board wipes from setting us back, and we can get them out before we cast Sigarda so that she's protected as soon as she hits the field. Unlike Auras, these never go to the graveyard as long as there's a creature out for us to target - we can always bounce them back to hand.

Plus, if we're digging for cards, we can bounce these back to our hand repeatedly to trigger Enchantress effects! Flickering WardFlickering Ward has been creeping up in price, and these warrant a look for the same reason.

Let's take a look at Dana's personal Sigarda list!
