This is the first deck I'm posting! I'm looking for feedback on what you like, don't like, and how to make it better on a college budget for when I can't trade.

Ethereal Armor really is the star most of the time. Pacifism and Chained to the Rocks help remove threats, delay my demise, and then boost the strength of Ethereal Armor

Heliod, God of the Sun gives a boost to the armor, both by himself and by pumping out (albeit, expensive) enchantment tokens when there is extra mana floating about. The vigilance ties in well for when my creatures, though few, become big pretty quickly.

Hopeful Eidolon is the beloved one drop. Mid game bestow cost helps it be a threat all the time such as when targeting Phalanx Leader or making Frontline Medic even more ridiculous. Turn two I can be swinging with eidolon with Ethereal Armor attached for a cheap 3/3 first strike lifelinker.

Spear of Heliod is just fun when it pumps that little eidolon up, threatens a players creatures, and pumps Ethereal Armor even more. The devotion it gives on turn three really helps put the god out as a creature on turn four.

Boros Charm because it'd be dumb not to have it. A big Hopeful Eidolon or Frontline Medic or Phalanx Leader that wasn't blocked has often won the game with the surprise double strike.

Gods Willing target's that heroic. Can't block my creature this turn (cue Boros Charm then) and love to scry. Just have to be careful not to remove my own enchantments with it.

Aurelia's Fury just upsets a lot of people. Tap down my opponents creatures for a full swing or prevent them from playing some removal for a turn. I build devotion quickly so it doubles as a powerful burn that can unexpectedly take an opponent to zero.

Ajani, Caller of the Pride is a new addition that has really stretched my opponents resources thin by being both devotion and a creature support.

This is how new of a player I can be. I was told my deck can win on turn three and I didn't know it.

Turn 1: Plains and Hopeful Eidolon

Turn 2: Plains/Sacred Foundry, enchant Hopeful Eidolon with 2x Ethereal Armor making it a 7/7 first strike lifelinker and swing.

Turn 3: Plain/Sacred Foundry, play Ajani, Caller of the Pride and use his -3 for flying and double strike or play Boros Charm for double strike and swing for 14, making the total damage done to player 21 (while gaining 21!).
