http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/justice-is-served-1/ has been a lackluster RUW aura-theme deck which sort of an "enchanted police force" theme with the Azorius and Boros. Theros has plenty of cards that like getting targeted by auras... heck some creatures ARE auras. what have we seen from the spoilers thus far that would work better here? i can consider cycling out the Innistrad stuff, of course.
yea Heroic looks great, pookypuppy6, but i wasn't 100% sold with Bestow or even the Gods in W, U, or R.

Thassa or Heliod I can conceivably see in there. Heliod for one provides tokens to pop your Auras onto, which may be really good if you find something struggling for creatures during the game. Plus, with so much white in your deck, it's not unreasonable to suggest he could turn into a creature himself in the three-colour deck
Thassa, on the other hand, can improve your draw quality (useful for digging for creatures or removal options) and make your enchanted creatures go for the jugular and give your opponent a headache. However, your deck is likely to make her into a creature in her own right.
Bestow is doable seeing as how controlling the deck is, but nothing as of yet strikes me as the kind of material you want.

i'd think that the Boros Reckoner will make it easier to get Heliod to descend from the sky and help me out, but i honestly have to take another look-see. i think i'll be focusing less on Battalion now, though.

I would definetly put daxos in there, i haven't even read your decklist, daxos is so badass, and looks like Ronin out of stargate atlantis:

RUW will get very good options for an enchantment aggro kinda thing. Heroic could be your way to victory, with awesome cards as Phalanx Leader, Battlewise Hoplite and Anax and Cymede. Daxos of Meletis is, as previously told, awesome, and Medomai the Ageless might be useable as finishing touch (though I don't think it'll really work). Play the Hammer of Purpheros to give creatures haste, and it makes Ethereal Armor bigger.
Control wise, Gods Willing looks to be a solid saving spell, protect a creature and Scry. Chained to the Rocks is a one mana Oblivion Ring . Wavecrash Triton can keep your opponents' creatures tapped, and Artisan of Forms will make copies.
God wise, they pump up your Ethereal Armor , so that's a good thing. Thassa and Purpheros look really playable, Heliod less so.
Ofcourse there's always better and lesser cards in a set, but up 'till now this set looks so good it's almost silly.

You seem to have a good idea with how to experiment with the deck when Theros arrives; the Heroic mechanic could do good work for you, AND looks to be in your colors. Artisan Of Forms may be an interesting choice, letting you have an enhanced version of an opponent's creature.
Out of the Bestow creatures revealed thus far, Nimbus Naiad may do some good work (it has nice interplay with Ethereal Armor , as a 4/4 flying first strike is not to be trifled with), but otherwise nothing stands out to me in particular.
Gift Of Immortality you'll want. Chained To The Rocks seems worthy of running, especially with Ethereal Armor . Daxos of Meletis may be worth a look too.
