This deck is essentially Bant Auras that uses Nylea's Presence and Karametra's Favor to drop Chromanticores! on people not expecting a five-color deck based on your lands and other creatures. It's always fun to see your opponent's faces when you bestow on a super-buff Eidolon of Countless Battles.

The idea is to trigger Heroic on Meletis Astronomer to dig for Enchantment creatures which can then trigger Eidolon of Blossoms, all while pumping Eidolon of Countless Battles. You would naturally try to drop Chromanticore as soon as possible, and control-oriented cards such as Swan Song (against removal) and Banishing Light (against permanents) help you protect your board until you're ready to lay waste with your bro-manticore(s).

I pulled three Flooded Strands between the KTK pre-release and a box. I'd say that's pretty lucky. As always, any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sat down for some kitchen table with this deck and it has performed very well. Meletis Astronomer and Eidolon of Blossoms keep my hand full and I'm scrying and/or drawing at least one extra card just about every turn. Enchantment hate does worry me, but that's what I save Dissolve for, and massive creatures bestowed with Eidolon of Countless Battles secure a win just as easily as Chromanticore.

I'm pretty happy so far!
