. . . I laughed at their bones.

This here is a deck designed to abuse Ethereal armor with all the enchantment creatures available in the world of Theros.I've seen this type of deck floating around and its just felt wrong: using hero of Ioras and big enchantments is not where its meant to go, it needs to be crazy fast and resilient. I think I've accomplished that with my version, opinions and tips are greatly appreciated.

(Side note: right now the sideboard is really up in the air. I'm primarily a black player, so I am totally unfamiliar with the utility cards in white, any help would be greatly appreciated.)

The deck is pretty simple: put down all your enchantment creatures and soup them up. Don't count out Fabled Hero just because he's not an enchantment, he's a total powerhouse. Use Gods Willing and Brave the Elements to save your creatures and to punch through big unblockable damage.

I brewed this up before JOU, but I think that Iroas is a good enough top end that it can go to Boros and add in a little extra power with Madcap Skills too. I haven't tested this theory so bear with me, but it has the potential to be pretty overwhelming!

A card that just caught my eye is Aurelia's Fury. It acts as a way to swing through their creatures (something that this deck sometimes lacks) and also ensures that when you pump up a guy, your opponent won't kill him before you make an important swing. I'll test it out a bit more, maybe I'm crazy, but maybe it's really good.

One more note, right now I have Spirit of the Labyrinth at the 2-drop creature slot, but I think Aegis of the Gods may potentially be better, as it prevents things like Thoughtseize and Devour Flesh. It is a creature in a world of removal, but if they waste a removal spell on it instead of my Hero than that's just fine in my book.
