Evasion, Detention, and Aggro. Sounds like the ideal job for Ruhan of the Fomori.

So how are we getting around the enemy in this mission of swing blind and swing fast? First, we have protection auras and spells. Unquestioned Authority and Crypsis provide protection from creatures while also being good for control via drawing a card and untapping the targeted creature, respectively. The Traveler's Cloak is handy for the same reason as Authority, just swap protection for your choice of landwalk. Aqueous Form and Prowler's Helm provide unblockability, sans walls for the latter, for cheap as well. The AEtherling brings its own evasion with it plus a way to get back and block afterwards by blinking itself out.

Our second control method concerns combat. We can gain the ability to control who attacks and who blocks (either crash or kill) using Odric, Master Tactician and Master Warcraft. While we do this, we may keep Masako the Humorless back in order to allow our swinging creatures to block. Heliod, God of the Sun gives needed vigilance, the Archetype of Aggression gives everyone trample, and Iroas, God of Victory and Thassa, God of the Sea add some prevention, evasion, and pseudo-draw.
