Deck Description

my Aura Power deck, redone to be more devastating and persistant.

The theme of this deck is to buff up your creatures with Auras, which also have totem armor (most of them, anyway) that make it even harder to kill your creatures.

Key Cards
___________________
Sun Titan - He has recursion over all of the cards in your deck (except Garruk Wildspeaker), so you can take any of your dead creatures/auras from your graveyard to your battlefield. Auras that never die.

Kor Spiritdancer - She gets bigger with every aura on her, and she also gives you card draw for every aura you CAST (meaning, even if it's negated, you still get card draw from it), and with all your auras being so low costing to play, you can play a lot of them, fast.

Aura Gnarlid - with this huge amount of buildup and auras, dropping them on the Gnarlid can be devastating. Nothing says you're screwed like a 10/10 troll shroud, unblockable, flying, first strike, reach creature.

Oblivion Ring - gotta fight off those nasty planeswalkers


The Auras
____________________
Canopy Cover - your most important aura here. It keeps your flying evasion when attacking, and also gives you troll shroud, so your opponents cant doom blade/bituminous blast/terminate/path to exile your creatures.

Nimbus Wings - gives your creatures flying evasion and a bigger toughness to suck up bigger hits. 1 Nimbus Wings on a Sun Titan can suck up 7 damage without dying.

Snake Umbra - gives power, totem armor, AND whenever combat damage is done by the enchanted creature, you draw a card. Best enchanted on Aura Gnarlids with their unblockable ability.

Hyena/Spider Umbra - simple 1 drop auras that give Totem Armor, +1/+1, and either First Strike or Reach. Hyena Umbra best goes on Sun Titan (for winning against enemy Titans), while Spider best goes on Kor Spiritdancer (for flier defense)

The Mana Ramp
_____________________
Birds of Paradise - simple 0/1 flier, gives mana, chump blocks, and has recursion with Sun Titan.

Garruk Wildspeaker - gives you double mana ramp, compared to Birds, and also gives you +3/+3 and trample, for when u want to deal the killing blow.


Sideboard
__________________
Tajuru Preserver - combats Eldrazi/All is Dust with ease, best sideboarded in against U/W eldrazi control or Valakut Ramp with AiD board wiper.

Leyline of Sanctity - simple Ivory Mask, this time with Troll Shroud. Stops RDW's burn and Valakut Ramp from burning your face..

Autumn's Veil - Mess up blue counter spells, and jund spot removal.

Emerge Unscathed - Amazing tech against removal spells. Sadly, isnt very effective against white removal, since it'll also make all your white auras fall off. Best against all the other colors though (hence no Green spot/field removal)

Its a potent deck idea and has a strong foundation but I feel yould be much stronger focusing on your main idea rather than losing a lot of card slots for a titan that really is not likely to be a game breaker in the deck. Birds, though nice, wont really make a lot of difference in a match late game and will have little benefit if not out on the first draw. Secondly Garruk, hes nice to have but by turn 4 with such a low mana curve.. you will be hard pressed to be needing the mana by turn 4-5. Depending on an extremely easy to kill creature for refreshing your hand may work some games but only having 4 in the deck really limits you. Id advise going with at least 2 more mesa enchantresses for the card drawing and more O-ring/ JtN as a means of dealing with anything your opponent manages to put out there. Just my 2 cents

I've been playtesting this deck with a lot of friends, archtypes, and a few FNM, and I've made some final alterations to it with this.

First of all, the Sun Titan is very, very useful. Why? Removal. People just get a kick out of throwing a doom blade on your Kor Spiritdancers when you try to enchant them, so you lose a 2 for 1 when that happens. The whole deck is susceptible to spot removal. Sun Titan is just a bomb, best Titan you can find for this deck. The birds are kind of a dread draw late game, but arent all mana dorks? He really does help for a Turn 3 Garruk Wildspeaker, then a Turn 4 Sun Titan. Yet, of course, that's only if you're rushing to the finish. Against control decks, you'll usually hold back a little, being slower so you'll have mana to pay against Mana Leaks or just edge around Negates. Trust me, this deck runs just fine with 22 lands and none of them fetchs. Also, this deck can be half card draw insane or half build up insane. If you're getting the heavier auras (nimbus wings, snake umbra) and aura gnarlids, you can build up pretty quickly and use the card draw from the snake umbras. That or you can just get a Kor Spiritdancer + Canopy Cover online, then start dropping 1 CMC auras. 1 mana to draw a card and give her +3/+3 and an ability? Hot deal. And, yes, this deck is not so much worried about spot removal (aka Oblivion Rings or JtN) than most. Once you get a Kor Spiritdancer + Aura Gnarlid combo online and going, you'll be building up and smashing face. Hell, one game, I went against a Mono White Eldrazi Control deck, my Aura Gnarlid built up and was able to swing past a Kozilek.

Why not add lifelink instead of lets say nimbus wings? Cheaper and lets you gain life as well.
