Not sure how powerful this is, but hopefully it's a decent build around.
Well, on its own, it's mill 2 which is fine. In a limited deck built around it deck.. it's maybe mill 10-14. Which is a 4 turn clock starting on turn 4; so that's strong; but fine too.
An enchantment theme set would have ways to remove enchantments, after all.
The scary thing is some kind of "All permanents are enchantments, and I clone them all a couple of times" - It would be terrifying in (a set like) Theros constructed. That could well be "Cast this, no counter or removal? Mill 60, win."
Which is a point - there should be a window to be able to deal with it. Maybe take effect in your upkeep?
end step -> upkeep
That's reasonable. Since most of the enchantments in this set are cards that you can remove manually, I felt that end step was a little necessary to get maximum value. But forcing the opponent to spend their mana removing Talismans also delays whatever game plan they're going for, so upkeep it is.
