Bant Aura Deck.I am trying to build a deck besides the typical Hexproof Aura Bant Deck. My idea is to use cheap creatures (cmc 3) as hitters, and enchant them. Umbra Mystic as protection. Main Auras: Rancor, Spirit Mantle and Steel of Goodhead (8 of my beaters are W/U). Any ideas of to improve it? Added Fertile Ground for fixing.Suggestions are wellcomed!
T1: Noble Heirarch plus land (ouch if shockland)T2: Several alternatives: Jenara, Geist or Spiritdancer+Rancor (and a card ^^).T3: Attack and keep enchanting.

Not bad, but few small points:1.If this should have been modern, maybe you wanted Unflinching Courage instead of Armadillo Cloak.2.Instead of Oblivion Ring you can run Detention Sphere. But the ring is fine I guess.3.Also I dont like Jenara much, maybe Aura Gnarlid fills the same role? Kinda - evasive, continually growing creature :-)4.Steel of the Godhead is arguably the worste enchantment you have(3CMC,conditional), fits nice with Geist, but otherwise I would play less copies in favour of other enchantments.5.Try Daybreak Coronet and Invisible Stalker6.Fertile ground may be better match to Ethereal armor than Farseek although more vulnerable.I play modern UW auras and I am still looking for improvements, if you want some inspiration or possibly help me a bit I would be glad. http://www.mtgvault.com/zipec/decks/uw-crowned-bogle-modern/

Also about the manabase:I like hierarch a lot, expensive but awesome, in bant auras better than Birds of Paradise for sure.But I dont like Farseek.Your lands produce: W:12 G:16 U:13Your spells consume: W:32 G:15 U:14Maybe if you focused your lands more into white, you would not need Farseek for fixing. I am not sure, but you can try it.
Thanks for all sugestions! I completely forgot about Armadillo/Unflinching, allready made the change.With respect to Jenara, as I am playing Bant and she is a great card I just wanted to get a way to use her. I added the Daybreak and the Detention Spheres, again my bad with the Oblivion, just thinking of the base deck I built this that is just W/G.Will be fixing my mana in the next days, but with respect to the amount of G mana, I just want to make sure to have G mana on my opening hand for the accelerators/fixers.Thank you very much, you really helped!
My thoughts:Would be nice if Utopia Sprawl could be in place of Fertile Ground, 1 less mana would speed you up awesomely. But the fixing is worse. Both are better than Farseek for sure (Ethereal Armor all the way :-) ), although more vulnerable to land destruction. But Umbra Mystic can help it.Imho, the land mana-colors are distributed better now. (W:14,G:15,U:12)I am sad with Noble Heirarch to Birds of Paradise change, but I understand budget reasons behind it.But there is nothing to complain about. Looks really good.
Tks. Sorry for the late repply. The Utopia sprawl is a great card, but has the drawback that can only enchant a forest, which can be a huge problem.Tks for the advice again.
