When I first saw a Graceblade Artisan in my pre-release pack, I knew I had to build a deck around her and auras. There are so many good auras in Standard right now that this card just wants to be played.

As the name implies, your "hero" card is Graceblade Artisan , an aura loving machine. Once you have one of those on the field, your immediate job is to protect it and swing for victory. To that end, Spectra Ward will greatly aid you by stopping most of the nasty from touching her and make landing damage easier. Battle Mastery is another good option, as is Aqueous Form, Eidolon of Countless Battles , and all of the ordeals.

To find and use these auras, we have the dream team of Heliod's Pilgrim to get them out of your library, and Hero of Iroas to make them easier to attach.

If a really nice aura falls into the graveyard, let your friend Silent Sentinel fetch it for you out of the graveyard to either take it itself, or hand it off to your Graceblade Artisan .

Auras! Shenanigans! And all for ~30 bucks. I love it. Can't wait to test this one out :)

EDIT: Now with some semblance of a sideboard!
