Sideboard from my sealed pool during Sunday's BotG pre-release.

Allowed me confuse and bewilder my opponents before stomping face with my main deck.

Here's the plan:

1) Light control with Annul, Dissolve, Ray of Dissolution, Voyage's End, and Excoriate.

2) Three creatures have heroic and at least 8 of the cards in the deck can trigger heroic.

3) It's technically a 5-color deck, but it is mostly white-blue. There are five cards that provide color-fixing: 2xOpaline Unicorn, Traveler's Amulet, Peregrination, and Karametra's Favor.

4) Being essentially a 'control-and-stall-until-I-can-pull-off-my-funny-gimmick' deck, six of the cards let me scry, and six draw me cards (not including the two that let me search my library for lands). Oracle's Insight and Sphinx's Disciple allow repeated card advantage each turn.

5) The gimmick is to do the above-mentioned control / stall / scry / draw cards business while triggering heroic as many times as I can in the middle-game until Silent Sentinel and Chromanticore show up. While it isn't impossible to hard-cast Chromanticore, I think the funny thing to do would be to use Epiphany Storm to discard Chromanticore, then reanimate it using Silent Sentinel's triggered ability.

There are at least six other enchantments in the deck for the Sentinel to potentially bring back too, so if any of my heroic guys are still alive, there's more triggers for them.

It is very fragile and inconsistent, but was something fun to work on between rounds of the pre-release to baffle players walking by.

I actually fooled an opponent into thinking that was the deck I was going to use because he saw me putting it together, then during our match I 2-0'd him with red burny dragony goodness!
