For the Horde of Notions challenge! Keyword ability is "Bestow"

Basically there are two synergies at work here. Primarily, there are cards that reward you for casting or controlling enchantments, a prime example being Sphere of Safety. Since almost all the creatures in the deck are enchantments, these rewards get pretty substantial. Another important synergy to note is that creatures with Bestow DON"T ACTUALLY COUNT AS CREATURES if they are cast for their Bestow cost. This is incredibly important because you can spend several turns casting your Bestow creatures as Auras on your non-Bestow creatures or your tokens or whatever you want, making them big and powerful and scary, and then you cast a Wrath or other sweeper. All your Bestow creatures survive since they're Auras, not creatures, and when their targets die they just become creatures. Then you attack with them since your opponents no longer have blockers :)
