Notes:
Just joined an EDH league.  Played my first match last Wednesday. Second to last player standing. Also took MVP of the table for wreaking havoc on everyone.         I know of a few other auras that I need (check my needed!) but other suggestions are welcome!

Three colors in EDH isn't that difficult.

Yes, but Bruna is my commander. :)

I'd recommend changing to Zur and just putting Bruna into the deck.

The problem with zur is you have to be attacking with a 1/4 and can only search for 3 CMC or less enchantment. Bruna is a 5/5 and you can attach any number of enchantments and you don't only have to be attacking. I'd pick bruna as first choice but after awhile my tri color love would make me use zur and just include lots of tutor effects

Hmmmmm....  Well I've already built this to revolve around Bruna.

Plus dealing 21 commander damage from her is done relativity easily.

Thanks for the suggestion tho.

There's a lot of good options.  {Dark Favor} {Divine Favor} {and more!}

All I'm saying is there's a reason alot of Zur decks come out on top. He's an awsome commander. I haven't built a deck around him but I've pummeled by a few. I don't think Bruna would stand a chance against Zur just for the fact of the difference in mana cost.

I like Bruna, don't count her out so fast against Zur! Zur is faster, sure, but Bruna is versatile. She can do her magic when attacking -or- blocking. And she can slap on {Eldrazi Conscription}, among other extremely good auras above 3CMC. Both are very potent commanders if the deck is build around em.

I second this statement. I also like {Celestial Mantle}.

{celestial mantle} looks amazing thank you! 

I'm also going to add one I have them.
{academy rector}
{diplomatic immunity}
And {battle mastery}

My biggest problem I've had so far with this list is stalling out turn 6/7 after Bruna comes down. Any other great draw options out there that I don't have already?

{Daybreak Coronet} is another must have. Then you could get rid of bad enchantments like regular {Lifelink}

Well, Bruna is {U}, so don't worry, you have a ton of card draw options. {Minds Aglow} is my personal favorite, followed closely by {Trade Secrets}. {Mind Spring} is a cheaper {Blue Sun's Zenith} by 1 mana (though it doesn't shuffle back in like the zeniths do), and {Plagairize} is pretty fun if your opponents are drawing a lot or if you pair it with minds aglow.

Thanks so much for all the help! 
Bruna is so much fun, hopefully I'll be able to piece together what's missing here over the next few weeks. I'll keep you all posted on how she plays this Wednesday at legue. :)

I decided to make a bruna deck too. I wrote her off at first, but she's actually really great.
