Standard legal Bant deck that locks up the board early with enchantments that stall or exile your opponent's threats until you get to the later game and are pumping out 4/4 Angel tokens via Sigil of the Empty Throne. Lots of cool synergies abound. Herald of the Pantheon acts as pseudo-ramp for your enchantment spells and gives incremental life-gain to keep you stablized. Myth Realized keeps growing with each spell you cast and is always a threat your opponent needs to think about before attacking. Hangarback Walker + Kiora, Master of the Depths is kinda disgusting actually. And with so many enchantments, Dromoka's Command is a lot less scary, as you get to choose the weakest enchantment you have as the sacrifice. Ojutai's Command is great for getting back a Herald of the Pantheon, which are often the target of your opponent because it's one of only two creature spells you play with.

When the deck starts wheeling, it gets out of hand quickly. The supreme optimum start could look like:

T1: Plains, go.

T2: Forest, Herald of the Pantheon, go.

T3: Canopy Vista, Herald of the Pantheon #2, Elemental Bond for G, gain 2 life, go.

T4: Prairie Stream, Sigil of the Empty Throne for 1WW, gain 2 life, Silkwrap for W, gain 2 life, make a 4/4 Angel token, draw a card.

From that point on, you have a 4/4 flyer factory with a card draw every time you cast an enchantment with life gain as the cherry on top. I've seen more than a few scoops after a second Sigil hits the field.

Obviously, if you have Flooded Strands, put them in and take out the Evolving Wilds. And more Gideon, Ally of Zendikars would be nice too.
