MTG Salvation

This is my attempt at making a voltron deck. I usually play heavy agro decks with a lot of Grave Pact effects, this is an attempt at a different playing style. With the release of the 2015 commander set I finally have the cards I feel I can build a decent deck with.

I decided to go with a heavy enchantment theme. They are often cheap to purchase dollar wise and also also cheap play cmc wise. I find Auras in my play group will be more difficult to play against. There will be less removal I need to worry about.

Why not Bruna, Light of Alabaster?I am using Daxos of Meletis over Bruna, Light of Alabaster because of the lower threat level.I hope that will allow me to build a board state much easier. I also like the idea of using peoples cards against them. However, Bruna will be used as a second win condition.
Why no Eldrazi Conscription? I like to play to have fun. As a result I don't like to run with tutors. As I starting building this deck I started to realize that tutors are needed to protect my commander. As a result I could not justify running Eldrazi Conscription and tutors as I would find that I would be a very large target and must be killed off quickly.
Why no counter spells? I find the game to be very boring with counter spells. It often turns into a game of having to kill off the counter player in order for the game to proceed. Plus, I usually play with any where from 3 to 5 people. I find counters are often a useless in this situation.
Why not pillow fort the deck? The real reason, is that I have no idea. That being said I find pillow forts will often make you a larger target. Maybe that's just within my playgroup. People often find that when you don't want to get hit, there is a reason, and they will do as much damage as possible till the pillow fort is set up. Because of this I opted for the increased use of board wipes to help prevent people from targeting me.

Auras and Equipment: These are the tools to buff the commander. Most of them are used to protect the commander or to give double strike. Double strike is this commanders friend. Being able to look at the top two cards of opponents library equals double the life gain and the possibility of casting both those cards. In my opinion Vanishing is something you want to quickly get on the field. I like this card because it allows me to choose when to take the commander out of play. Anything with vigilance may be a good choice to improve the deck, but I have opted to stay away from that.
Boots: Boosts are anything that helps the theme of the deck. Cards like Telepathy would be huge if able to play early. It gives you a target if you like their top card. At the very least, the commander will exile any card that you see as a threat.
Defense: Since this deck relies more on playing other peoples cards and protecting the commander, this deck needs a healthy defense to protect my board state or people attacking me.
Wipes: This deck runs a lot of board wipes. Combined with some Auras should keep me at an advantage and ensure that others are not able to overwhelm me with creatures. With enough mana Rout is a must have. I love the instant board wipe. Worth placing in any white deck in my opinion. Another nice board wipe is Winds of Rath because there is a very large chance it will not hurt you.

I Think rest of the deck is self explanatory.

I would definitely be running Hanna, Ship's Navigator and Serra's Sanctum.

That is a card I will add. Thank you. I will probably take one of the board wipes out to add it in.

This deck has been retired. It just seems to have failed to be able to stand up to most decks in both speed and fire power.
