A (slightly) different look at a mardu combo deck with heliod's pilgram/ Auramancer forming the support structure of a fun aura/ enchantment subtheme. The ability to heliod's pilgram into gift of immortality combined with a sac-outlet skyrocket the potential value of any of your etb triggers. Tidehollow sculler +sac outlet is good. Tidehollow sculler+ sac-outlet + gift of immortality is often just gg. As an added bonus it gives you all new ways to use and abuse Leonie relic-warder, who now functions as more than just fiend-hunter-for-enchantments/artifacts. Now he can be used to bounce enchantments around in New and interesting ways you never thought possible.

The non-aura enchantments give you access to a value train of sorts that also gives the deck a backup plan against targeted graveyard hate. phyrexian reclaimation/ tortured existance can be lifesavers in situations where you need to get things into and out of your yard (as we don't really want to cast Alesha unless absolutely needed, that second cast for 5 mana can really hurt, especially if you can't use her right away) also very useful when someone drops that nasty bojuka bog/tormods crypt.

Lines of play; Alesha+ entomb+ master of cruelties = win (also having less friends.) /gift of immortality+ ANY of your etb triggers+ sac outlet= lots of fun and also having less friends

/anafenza+ murderous redcap+ sac outlet= win

Zulaport cutthroat/falkenwrath aristocrat+ karmic guide +reveillark= win

Kiki-jiki+ restoration angel= win

Sun titan+ fiend hunter+ goblin bombardment= win

There are quite a few more.
