The main theme of this deck is:

• Bruna, Light of Alabaster : Seriously, she is the only creature you need on the battlefield. Just put some auras on her and she's ready to deal 21 commander damage and have someone lose the game. Beware, though, as she will become the target of removal immediately, so you want to have a counterspell in your hand when you cast her. The best scenario would be to give her haste with Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots and immediately swing with her, so you can attach some auras for free. I put in many auras that protect her, like Spectra Ward , Diplomatic Immunity and Shielded by Faith . There are also plenty of auras that make her unblockable, so your opponent can't just block her with a 1/1.

The side themes are:

• Card draw: Wherever there's blue, there's card draw. Because we want to power up Bruna, we don't need many creatures, so I put in the ones that give card draw or tutor for auras. There are also some instants and sorceries with card draw.
• Self mill: Cards like Traumatize , Tunnel Vision and Mirror-Mad Phantasm can get a big chunk of your deck into your graveyard. With Bruna's ability, you can get all auras back. These cards will win you the game if you have Bruna on the battlefield and can withstand all the removal your opponents throw at her.
• Boardwipes: Bruna is the only creature you need, and since you can make her indestructible pretty easily, the boardwipes will be one-sided most of the time. In case she doesn't have indestructible, there are some boardwipes that leave one creature, like Single Combat .

Now, with many ways to tutor for auras, which one should you get? The one that is probably the best choice 90% of the time is Flickerform . Yes, it's pretty expensive to use its ability, but you can prevent Bruna from dying, you can trigger ETB effects from auras like Flight of Fancy , you can get her back when someone steals her, it's such an insane card. If Flickerform isn't in your library anymore, what I do most of the time is look for what I'm missing: Is she already unblockable? Does she already have indestructible? Does she already have hexproof or shroud? If she misses one, I search for a card that gives her the missing ability/abilities ( Spectra Ward and Protective Bubble give both (almost) shroud and unblockable). If she already has everything, I look for ways to get her power to 21 (probably Eldrazi Conscription . If her power is already high enough, I search for Celestial Mantle . Of course, it depends on the situation, but this is what I do in general. I like it if bruna can't be killed. If you have a counterspell in hand and you can get her power up to 21, you should probably go for that first.

Another card that I like besides Flickerform is Teferi's Care . This lets you remove any enchantment for 1 mana, because sacrificing an aura doesn't matter. This synergizes very well with cards with ETB effects. You can even use it on your own enchantments, so if you have Sage's Reverie and Flight of Fancy , you can draw a ton of cards for 1 mana. Watch out that you don't sacrifice something that gives shroud only to get a removal spell thrown at Bruna.

This was my very first deck. Of course, I've made pretty big changes since the beginning. I think it's turned out really well and I've won a good portion of my games with this deck. If you have any suggestions or some advice, please say so, because I want to improve my decks as much as I can (I'd like to keep the budget low, though. If not, I would be running Intuition for sure).
