This is a classic Voltron deck, where command damage increases quickly with the aura flavor. Unhampered, we can win consistently between turn 5–7. The commander is quite sticky, sporting innate hexproof. Other creatures pad out the board state while we ramp into Uril. Meanwhile, we can dump our auras onto other creatures and even let them die. Then, we can put all graveyarded auras onto Uril with spells like Mantle of the Ancients.

I find that Sigarda, Host of Herons is an excellent foil to Uril, the Miststalker as she herself also has hexproof, and prevents Uril from being sacrificed— a common weakness of voltron decks— hence, Beast and the Beauty.

This is a unique color identity for auras, as it includes red. Unfortunately, there is not too much flavor in red auras that is not already present in green and white auras, but I think I managed to find a couple interesting ones. I hope splashing red is worth it. Suggestions appreciated!
