BRUNA'S BEATDOWN--FINALLY REMADE!!!!

SO, Bruna, Light of Alabaster is obviously excellent as a Voltron Enchantress Commander. You swing with her, if you have Auras in most zones, you can kill someone with that one hit. The biggest problems Bruna has are hitting the board and lasting long enough to attack--this is why it's important to PLAY HER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE WITH HASTE, or to PLAY HER WHEN YOU CAN ENSURE HER SAFETY. Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, and Hall of the Bandit Lord will all enable cheap haste, Grim Monolith, Sol Ring, and Mana Vault will allow you to play her early in the game. Counterspell and its ilk will protect Bruna from being targeted (if she doesn't already wear some Lightning Greaves).

Naturally, you'll want the heavy-handed Auras like Eldrazi Conscription, though it's not exactly necessary--if you're an asshole, two Auras will do to win the game: Battle Mastery and Corrupted Conscience. However, to make sure that Bruna connects, it's important she is unblockable; Aqueous Form is worth it!

A weakness this deck has is multi-man combat, or, token-based aggro. That's why Entangler is in this list, and especially with a flipped Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant  , Bruna is almost infallible in combat. Similarly, with Rune-Tail's Essence, Pariah attached to Bruna will take any damage you would, and prevent it all--almost indestructible.

That said, sometimes you don't always get the cards you need, which is why I've included quite a few Tutors, like Enlightened Tutor, Three Dreams, Intuition, et cetera. Most will enable you to search for Auras or things to protect Bruna.

TL;DR: Bruna, Light of Alabaster is a solid, safe commander to play with clear win-cons in colors that can ensure her survival while hindering the progress of opponents.

(Note: if someone isn't okay with Corrupted Conscience, I will substitute it.
