Deck discussion for UW Standard Aura

I would drop the 2 knightly valor, it's overcosted compared to everything else and the bonus from it isn't too great. Instead I would favour two 'tricks of the trade'. This enchantment works well and can be paticularly nice with your fencing aces.

You also need to fix the mana if you're hoping to actually get any creatures out. Even without expensive lands you'd need to change it to 3 Azorius Guildglate, 9 Plains and 8 Islands (counting that you change as per my previous comment, otherwise put 10 plains and 7 islands).

I'm guessing your counterspells are in there to try and alleviate your weakness to burn etc? And to try and counter bigger creatures into turns 4+? With fragile creatures relying on enchantments to become stronger a pillar of flame at the wrong time can really mess things up, and you're only running 16 creatures in the first place! I'm not entirely sure whether this is going to work or not, you do have oblivion ring to help with some of this already...

If you playtest it and find they're not that useful I'd swap them out for simply more creatures, Elite Inquisitor springs to mind as he's very solid with all his abilities and gets pretty nasty with enchants like spectral flight on him. His protection rules keep with the subtheme of trying to be potentially unblockable, at least against particular creatures, and his vigilance is a fantastic addition if you throw a divine favor on him.

If you don't agree with me at least consider using faith's shield. For one white mana you can stop burn/destroy spells, chump block bigger creatures and also use it offensively as pseudo-unblockability (complete unblockability against mono colour decks!).

Good luck!
