MTG Combo: Arcanum Wings + Eldrazi Conscription

Some possibilities: Sigarda's Aid, creatures such as Argothian Enchantress or Mesa Enchantress, Darksteel Citadel, maybe Simic Guildmage or Aura Finesse. Do any of those look right? You say colorless-- was Arcanum Wings + Eldrazi Conscription in there? That's the only Enchantment that doesn't require colored mana.

+1 for a fellow modern spirit runner! I think you can make more money with your Tallowisps with an aura toolbox approach. I'd bump their number up to four and run defensive auras like Prison Term over Detention Sphere (which you can't get with the wisps). You can get pretty crazy with the aura combos like Arcanum Wings + Eldrazi Conscription or Pariah + Spirit Mantle on a Geist of Saint Traft.
Feel free to check out my spirit deck and plagiarize some if you want. Hot Traft on Traft Action

@Zaueski: Thanks for the comment!

It definitely does fit in here - in fact, I already pre-ordered a playset of Rattlechains and put them into my deck. I have yet to update the list here. It's a nice aggressive beater with evasion that can be enchanted with some auras when taking the risky route. And more importantly, he works very nicely with both Kami of False Hope + Rattlechains for a surprise Holy Day as well as Rattlechains + Topplegeist (which can replace the previous Lantern Kami), or to trigger a surprise EoT aura tutor with Tallowisp.

Not a fan of Ordeal of Heliod + Sunbond , as this deck has barely any lifegain and so Sunbond would often be a dead card.
Likewise, even if I manage to get both auras on a creature, I wouldn't have means to gain life to trigger Sunbond and in turn the ordeal when attacking, so I'll also have to keep the ordeal across three turns to gather the counters in order to bank in on the combo.
Sunbond is also quite expensive. My other four mana spells do considerably more, usually right the moment they are cast, so unless I come up with a whole different decklist based around lifegain, neither of these will be a choice I'm afraid.
Also, regarding two-aura-combos that are fetchable with Tallowisp, Arcanum Wings + Eldrazi Conscription makes for a cheaper and faster finisher. Admittedly though, Eldrazi Conscription is even more of a dead card without Arcanum Wings, as Sunbond could at least be put to use with Shining Shoal :P

Tallowisp + spirits + having enchantments in the deck can ruin poeople's day.

You could enchant your opponents creatures with things like Agoraphobia, Oppressive Rays, Guard Duty
Also having the combo of Arcanum Wings + Eldrazi Conscription lying around in the deck, while you are able to tutor for it for "free" is something one likes to have.
