Welcome to yet another Bruna deck. The focus of this deck is, obviously, the auras, with a side-theme of being budget, not being that controlling, and mill.

Speaking of mill, the ideal combo here is Tunnel Vision and basically any good aura you don't yet have in your hand - Spectra Ward, Corrupted Conscience, Diplomatic Immunity, Battle Mastery. Best case scenario, you get 80% of your deck into your graveyard and you can swing for unquestionable lethal from then on. There's a minor amount with Perpetual Timepiece and Deranged Assistant too, which can help to squeeze another +2/+2 out of the deck and into the graveyard.

There are a range of cantrips and cheap draw/scry, which are pretty useful - ideally you want 6 mana as soon as possible and no more than that, in my opinion, or 8 if you want to be safe and prep counterspells to protect Bruna. After that, you want to be filtering and drawing entirely towards auras, usually. When made to discard cards, discard auras also - they can come from your graveyard, so keep anything else in your hand as hand-space is limited and graveyard space is not.

I don't like counterspells that much, but they're in here to protect Bruna where possible. Similarly, there as many haste enablers as I can find.

The manlands are in there maybe to prevent sacrifice based removal. Similarly, Assault Suit. They can be slotted in in place of any of the less good Auras, which is most of them except the obvious big three or four.

I'm definitely up for suggestions and feedback. I find usually my main problem is not getting enough auras out to actually kill in one hit, at which point people start panicking and wiping the board.

Removeboard: Deranged Assistant and Perpetual Timepiece are probably too slow, though I have a personal attachment to them...
