This deck will try to take advantage of the Constellation and Bestow mechanics. To be able to pay the higher bestow costs of the enchantment creatures, Hero of Iroas reduces the cost of aura spells. Additionally, he gains +1/+1 whenever a spell (in this case, a bestow aura spell) is cast on him. Since getting the required mana pool to cast aura spells efficiently may take a few turns, Condemn and Go for the Throat are in the deck to keep eventual aggression in check.

Whip of Erebos combines well with the Constellation abilities of Underworld Coinsmith and Doomwake Giant that are activated upon entering the battlefield. The additional lifelink on all creatures can also mitigate a fair amount of damage.

Ethereal Armor will provide very strong buffs to all creatures in the deck, and Gift of Orzhova adds flying and lifelink to the buffs.

I am unsure about a few things in this deck, since it is my first attempt at deckbuilding. I may need either a larger proportion of lands or some card draw in the deck to expand my mana pool more quickly, which might be possible with Phyrexian Arena. Sphere of Safety synergizes well with the deck and can probably provide a very effective defense. Sanguine Bond combos incredibly well with Whip of Erebos and some other cards, but I'm not sure whether it's worth the high mana cost. Lastly, Eidolon of Countless Battles can grow a creature to considerable size if there are several creatures or aura spells on the field.
