Bruna, Light of Alabaster abusing enchantments. Can get ludicrous things like a turn 10 57/57 unblockable, shrouded, flying, vigilance, double strike, first strike, annihilate 2, lifelinked, indestructable, infectious angel that scys for 1 and doubles your life total when she deals combat damage, has protection from creatures, comes back on the field immediately if she was killed somehow (despite the shroud and indestructable) and allows you to draw an extra card each turn.

Yep, I got that combo on my second playtest :D

The preferred method for dealing death with the deck is to cheat powerful enchantments onto the battlefield using Bruna, Light of Alabaster or some of the other creatures like Sovereigns of Lost Alara, Hakim, Loreweaver , or Academy Researchers .

Why so much hexproof and shroud? I tend to have to fight multiple opponents all at the same time when I field this deck. I often need multiple instances of hexproof/shroud on Bruna, Light of Alabaster to keep her alive through concentrated artifact/enchantment destruction. I split the hexproof and shroud between enchantments and artifacts to try to avoid some board wipes as well.

Why Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Terra Eternal? Land destruction is apparently popular in my meta. Not that Avacyn, Angel of Hope really needs another excuse to be in a deck.

Why Ethereal Usher? More unblockable is nice, but she also serves as a tutor for 6 CMC if my commander is tucked into my deck.

Some Quick Combos:
Voltron Bruna, Light of Alabaster + Sphere of Safety and/or Serra's Sanctum = Opponents cannot swarm you without going infinite with their mana, and/or you have a fair amount of mana to do things with yourself.

Voltron Bruna, Light of Alabaster + Faith Healer + Ajani's Chosen = "Just before I attack, I sacrifice all of these non-essential auras and put them in the graveyard, gaining a bunch of life. Then Bruna attacks, and puts them all back on herself, which also just happens to make a bunch of tokens..."

Non-Voltron Bruna, Light of Alabaster + Traumatize (on yourself) = Voltron Bruna, Light of Alabaster next time she attacks.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed! Suggestions for thinning the deck back down especially welcomed - I am in the middle of revising the deck significantly, but ended up with more cards than I ended up removing so far :(
