I've been playing UW Heroic or UWR Heroic since pre-M15. My original build was based around Greg Hatch's Nivmagus Elemental.

This build has followed Tom Ross' exploits with UW Heroic relatively closely, particularly since his innovation of including Heliod's Pilgrim to add an aura toolbox element to the deck.
