Tiana does not get the aura love that she deserves. Everyone always shoehorns her into equipment, so I looked into what few aura decks I could find for her, combined what I liked, ditched what I didn't, and ultimately tried to do my own take on a character I love.

Game plan is pretty simple: You want to dig up one of the ways to sac your auras like Auratog, Bound by Moonsilver, Claws of Gix, Faith Healer, Lunarch Mantle, or Magmaw. To do that, we have a few tutors, and some card draw. Boros colours (and my budget) suffer for both those things, so we're depending a bit on redundancy to hope we pull out something, but enchantress effects like Mesa Enchantress and Sram, Senior Edificer help a lot. The deck does really depend on Tiana to constantly get cards back and (hopefully) win on card advantage by throwing out card draw effects, and building up your board with stuff like Brood Keeper and Sigil of the Empty Throne. Since it's so commander-dependent, we've got protection for Tiana in the form of Umbra Mystic and various Umbra cards, and some of our sac outlets can be recovered from disaster with Auramancer or Ironclad Slayer.

Other cool stuff: - A few things, like All That Glitters, Helm of the Gods, and Phalanx Leader can make something big. Ideally, that something is Tiana. Oftentimes there's an opponent or two who can't block a big flying commander. Champion of the Flame and Swiftblade Vindicator are also pretty good targets for boosting. - Ordeal of Heliod gives you 10 life every time you sacrifice it, not just when you sac it to its own effect. Lifegain may not be the best effect in EDH, but 10 life every turn is nothing to sneeze at. - A nice little Sunforger package rounds things out. There's not too much in there for it, but some good variety with Divine Reckoning, Return to Dust, Solar Blaze, Swords to Plowshares, and Wear // Tear help us keep up, and Mistveil Plains helps us reuse those cards with Sunforger's help.
