Like a lot of you, I really love a good cycle of cards. Let's try this out and see how it goes. If people seem to like this, we will continue to have a new challenge each week for the next few weeks or so.

2. CMC and rarity should be consistent.
3. Must have 5 Enchantments, one of each color, to complete the cycle.
4. Try to fit each one into it's color with both FLAVOR and EFFECT.

A colorless, just because I love eldrazis so I'm giving their home a shoutout:

In hindsight, the Blind Eternities may be a tad(lot) overpowered. But here you go! Second Entry!

Links to their planeswalkers are in the comment sections. (because you would have trouble finding some of them otherwise, some of them are more than a year old.)
Enjoy!

@King_Devil_II - 44/50 - This is a super fun idea! I love the way you tried to infuse a little of each set into the different colors. I'm not sure if everyone will appreciate it, but I think it's very original!
@leo5873 - 43/50 - I like this cycle. It's a nice solid cycle. It's starting to look like everyone is getting the hang of cycles, because all three so far are really solid! Nice work!
@FoxFyr - 40/50 - This one was pretty cool how you tied in the card names with the card effects. There were some inconsistencies in things like CMC and one of the cards didn't have an evergreen, but the other four did. With all that aside, this is a pretty nice cycle, so good job!
@barry13 - 35/50 - These are some high powered Enchantments! I think you have a good concept, but it's definitely over powered in most cases, at least for my sensibilities and they could do with a little balancing. With some refinement these can be very useful!
@SirWarriorLegend - 42/50 - I love Archangel's Protection. This is a great concept card for the cycle! I think I would have liked the red and blue to be more in line with the others, but I like that they do one thing, and then when you need them, do something else. Very cool!
@FallOutBoy - 40/50 - Very fun and straight forward. I think they are a bit much for uncommon, but these could really intensify a multi-player game and make you a huge target!
@Darkray - 40/50 - Wow, these are complicated! I think these need to be Mythic, just based on the level of intricacy! I love this concept, but I feel they could use some refinement on the wording. @Noobplayzgames would be a great person to ask. I love the concept of these and with some modifications, I think these will be a great compliment to your Planeswalkers!
@Tutlaschk - 41/50 - Nice cycle, I left you some comments on the cards. They just need a little balancing and maybe some stronger artwork on a couple and you'll be good to go on these!
@DomriKade - 42/50 - Another fun cycle. I like things that do more than one thing. The artwork is really good. The blue and black ones are definitely not as strong as the other three, so you could use some balancing. Another nice job!
Great job on all these! There are some really fun Enchantment Cycles here, and everyone did a great job! Here are the results!
THIRD PLACE - TIED
@SirWarriorLegend and @DomriKade
Really fun cycles that pull double duty!
SECOND PLACE
@leo5873
A nice solid cycle!
FIRST PLACE
@King_Devil_II
Love the originality and the nod to previous sets!
Thank you to all the participants and Congrats to all the winners!
~TROPHY~
