Quick note: Thanks to everyone for the upvotes and help fine tuning this deck - it's become quite a powerhouse and your advice helped lead to that.

Changes:

Hero of Iroas - Another extremely solid target for my Heroic spells, and has insane utility in reducing the costs of my Heroic trigger spells. His spot as a two drop means I can drop him early enough to make an impact on mid-game Aura's.

Eidolon of Countless Battles - The Ethereal Armor of BotG, this card is great as a creature - put your Aura's on him and watch him grow - and as an Aura - put it on a Fabled Hero and you've got a 5/5 double strike out of one card played.

Herald of Torment - Still experimental in this deck due to the relatively high bestow cost - but it can potentially be totally worth it. +3/+3 is nothing to scoff at, and the added evasion from flying is very helpful in going over opponents creatures. Lifeloss is inconsequential enough to not worry about.

Bile Blight - Amazing sideboard material - especially useful against Mono Black Pack Rat's or red, blue and red/white aggro's weenies, and against other Hero decks. Not as much against any deck running big sticks.

Gift of Immortality, Nighthowler and Soldier of the Pantheon have been removed from the deck:

Gift of Immortality is often no longer useful, my creatures are usually big or powerful enough to not worry about death in combat, Mono Black is the only deck that really runs direct Murder spells and pure control decks run so much bounce removal that I lose the enchantment for no benefit. It also doesn't help my creatures hit in against the opponent.

Nighthowler - Completely usurped by Eidolon of Countless Battles. They both can pump to insane amounts, but since they have the same cost and Eidolon is far more useful against control (which never has creatures in grave), I have opted to replace Nighthowler with Eidolon.

Soldier of the Pantheon - As the meta shifts away from RtR and towards Theros/BotG, people are inarguably running less and less multicolored. Another issue is that this card is rather weak in long games, top decking this is nearly certain doom when most other cards in the deck would help. Has been replaced by Hero of Iroas, as the Hero is a great Bear, has similar stats/cost but is more useful in the long run as it provides another Heroic trigger and reduces Aura costs, which can be much better late game.

BotG offers a lot of new potential, especially for Heroic decks. Here's to the future meta, and may your poets write well of you.
