A pillow fort strategy with the ability to hit your opponent in the face with devotion. If your not familiar with Pillow Fort it basically slows your opponent down through enchantments making it difficult for them to attack until you develop your win conditions.

Strengths: Very good against creature based decks utilizing a combo of Defenders and enchantments that also build towards devotion for Thassa, God of the Sea and Heliod, God of the Sun

Weakness: Obviously control decks like Esper and Azorious have few creatures so the whole sideboard comes in for counter spells in a race to see who can win. Haste Creatures can also be a problem if I do not have Hover Barrier or Wall of Frost on the battlefield. Any direct damage can also be nasty as I do not play counter spells in main deck. Having Revoke Existence in the main board has helped me combat many of the threats from the Legendary Enchantment Gods and their weapons while keeping my Detention Sphere in reserve. This deck obviously will take pain from devotion triggered damage which makes side boarding in counter spells a must.

Win Conditions:Devotion for Thassa, God of the Sea and Heliod, God of the Sun Thassa unblock able creature ability and Heliods ability to create Enchantment Creatures to further enable Sphere of Safety. Sphere of Safety by itself can make an opponent concede. If your a fan of Gideon, Champion of Justice this is the one deck archetype that can get his Ultimate off fairly quick. Lastly, Elspeth, Sun's Champion and AEtherling can deliver knockout punches if not dealt with.
