Mostly just an idea I've been working on. While this may not do well at larger tables, Killian has the potential to sweep the table out of nowhere at tables of only 2 opponents, and would likely run off with a game in a 1v1. Although this deck might not be the optimal way to run it, Killian is a great commander for a control/voltron deck, since he reduces the cost of targeted creature removal, prisons, and auras that buff creatures. Unfortunately, being dependent on auras does make the deck very vulnerable to removal and board wipes. Still, having Lifelink and Menace already makes Killian an optimal voltron commander since you don't have to give him either. Card draw is still a bit clunky, relying on specific cards like [Greed] paired with lifegain, or clunky combos like Sram and [Cage of Hands], or other card draw that trigger when specific enchantments ETB.

TO NOTE: Doubling your life total from [Celestial Mantle] is considered gaining life. Also, if the enchanted creature has lifelink, the life gain from lifelink triggers happens first. It is also always important to remember that double strike counts as two separate instances of combat damage dealt.
