Title: Born of the Gods Advice!

This is probably the card that has excited me the most out of all of the Born of the Gods spoilers. The only problem is: do I abuse it in Selesnya Auras or Selesnya Heroic? I will likely do both, but I wondered which the community thought would be the coolest/most fun to use/best deck.

Enchantments because that also buffs it, and there are better cards for heroic that do the same thing (ahem {Fabled Hero} cough)

Yes, but if I use a enchantment heavy heroic deck I can easily drop {Unflinching Courage}, Ordeals, {Gift of Orzhova}, ect. on one turn and just blitz my opponent. If I go with {W}{R}, I can drop {Madcap Skills} and {W}{B} has {Gift of Orzhova}.

I like 2 mana {unflinching courage}s and 1 mana {madcap skill}s :D I'm thinking naya is good.

I tried Naya before, but it didn't work too well. Maybe I'll retry with Hero of Iroas.

If totem armor was standard I'd say go for it but sadly it is not :( so you have to face the reality of heavy removal in standard :( I saw it and debated it for my Bantproof deck but I simply cannot afford it :( as T2 is designated to pump up my Gladecover :P

I say go RW. {Ethereal Armor}, {Madcap Skills}, boros charms, a lot of good stuff. Can also go God's willing as well for even more protection.

The problem is  even with gods willing, any non hexproof guys in a hexproof deck will eat up all your opponents removal.

T1 gladcover scout
T2 This guy
T3 unflinching courage + ethereal armor on gladcover seems good
