A somewhat budget Uril deck that focuses on making him big and swinging in for massive amounts of damage.

Pretty simply enough, the main goal is to get Uril, the Miststalker out as soon as possible, cover him with Auras and equipments, and swing for massive damage while protecting him.
You'll want to build Uril up as much as possible to try and kill your opponents in one or two hits using tons of various Auras or equipments to benefit off of his inherent ability to power himself up based on Auras. Cards such as Armadillo Cloak, On Serra's Wings, Eldrazi Conscription, and Runes of the Deus make him huge just on their own. Other Auras, such as Daybreak Coronet, Ancestral Mask, Ethereal Armor, Sage's Reverie, and Eidolon of Countless Battles benefit from other enchantments being on the field. In addition, Helm of the Gods can also make Uril very big very fast.
There are plenty of cards that give you more resources for playing enchantments and having enchantments. Cards such as Mesa Enchantress, Sram, Senior Edificer, and Eidolon of Blossoms give you draws when you play enchantments, leading to even more enchantment plays. card:Danita Capashen, Paragon and Herald of the Pantheon discount your Auras, allowing you to play even more! And don't worry if your enchantments get destroyed: Creeping Renaissance, Retether, Open the Vaults, Nomad Mythmaker, and Hall of Heliod's Generosity can easily get them out of your graveyard.
The main problem with any Voltron deck is that you have one win condition, and if it gets removed or destroyed too often, it'll be impossible to re-cast, effectively leaving you without a way to win the game. Uril's inherent hexproof does allow him to survive through most targeted removal spells, but with board wipes and forced sacrifices everywhere, and cards such as Leadership Vacuum making their way into the format, you need some way to further protect your commander. Tajuru Preserver protects you against almost all sacrifice shenanigans. Leyline of Sanctity protects against many player-targeting spells. Enchantments such as Flickerform, Gift of Immortality, and Indestructibility can protect Uril from board wipes.
Other creatures pose a threat to Uril, especially other big creatures, deathtouch, and chump blockers when you can't get trample. We have plenty of solutions though. Holy Mantle, Spirit Mantle, and Unquestioned Authority give Uril protection from creatures, meaning that he can't be blocked by them. Mage Slayer also allows for him to deal damage even when he gets blocked. And indestructible-granting enchantments, such as Indestructibility, Shielded by Faith, and Shield of the Oversoul can allow him to swing with impunity.
Even though you're putting all your eggs in one large, hexproof basket, your opponents won't always be playing the same game, and might be able to attack around him with token strategies or other options. Force your opponents to play your game, too. Dueling Grounds is a great way to stop token strategies dead in their tracks, as does Sphere of Safety. Contested Cliffs is a way to prevent your opponents from contesting Uril with similarly large creatures; just fight them off your turf! Wipe large amounts of creatures off the board with spells such as Single Combat, Winds of Rath, and Divine Reckoning, while keeping Uril on the board. And if all else fails, show that you're even better at the token game than they are with cards like Pollenbright Wings and Siona, Captain of the Pyleas.
Sigarda, Host of Herons is another way to protect Uril from sacrifice shenanigans. Silent Arbiter is another way to prevent other players from stack-blocking and multi-attacking against you. Grand Abolisher protects you from sudden combat tricks. Xenagos, God of Revels and Iroas, God of Victory allow for your attacking Uril to deal a ton of extra damage. Sterling Grove protects your other enchantments. Angelic Destiny is an extremely powerful enchantment for Uril to have. Mirari's Wake and Smothering Tithe are a great way to ramp some more.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!
