Artifact creature-based aura swap deck. Aura Swap decks generally use Hexproof creatures (for obvious reasons). I wanted to brew something a little different.

The main strategy is to hit a turn 3 Eldrazi Conscription via the Aura Swap ability of Arcanum Wings.

Arcanum Wings -> Transforms our little fellas into monsters using the Aura Swap ability.

Eldrazi Conscription -> Our main Arcanum Wings Aura Swap target.

Celestial Mantle -> Our secondary, situational Arcanum Wings Aura Swap target.

Ensoul Artifact -> Our secondary, or additional, strategy when hitting the Aura Swap combo is not possible or is delayed.

Vault Skirge -> Drops turn 1 as 1/1 flying lifelinker. Turn 2 Arcanum Wings or Ensoul Artifact. Turn 3 Aura Swap for Eldrazi Conscription if running that line.

Ornithopter -> Vault Skirge lite.

Darksteel Myr -> Fantastic blocker (has saved my bacon numerous times). Can hit him with Ensoul Artifact or Aura Swap him if the game goes several turns.

Heliod's Pilgrim -> Finds our Auras. Chump blocks.

Darksteel Citadel -> Indestructible target for Ensoul Artifact. Can be late game Aura Swap target.

Open the Armory -> Finds our Auras.

Hyena Umbra -> Totem Armor protects our creature from Destroy effects.

Aqueous Form -> Sneaks our pumped up creature through.

Spell Pierce -> Protects us from board wipes/early removal.

Pacifism -> Lock down threats/buy us time to hit the Aura Swap combo.

Temporal Isolation -> Pacifism-like effect at instant speed.

I have not spent any time on the sideboard yet. Suggestions for main/sideboard are very welcome.
