Self-Mill in an EDH? Am I a mad-man? Apparently so!

The general idea of the deck is to mill or draw as many enchantments as you possibly can, then simply attack with your commander to bring them all back attached to her. If you do this right, she becomes an unblockable force to be reckoned with, easily capable of racking up the 21 commander damage in one or two hits.

There's also a lot of cards that are in here just for kicks, like Enter the Infinite and Omniscience, unfortunately Eldrazi Conscription may actually end up getting attached to Bruna, so I apologize in advance for any Eldrazi-Angels...

The biggest problem with bruna is that as soon as she hits the battlefield she is a HUGE target for everything. She can't kill people if she doesn't even last a turn, so I've been thinking there are two possible ways around this: either give her haste and insta-attack to win, or give her hexproof. There's already a good number of counter spells in the deck, as well as things like Grand Abolisher to prevent her actually being countered, but she has no protection as the cycle goes around (especially in multi-player games there's no way to have enough counters to prevent 3-4 people from targeting your commander), so my maybeboard is full of cards I'm thinking about using to try to protect her (which are mostly artifacts, unfortunately. If anyone knows an aura that gives something hexproof....)

Hexproof and Haste — Dec. 24, 2013
Edit

I took out a lot of unnecessary big cards, like Enter the Infinite and Omniscience since the game is basically over as soon as I get enough mana for Bruna and can swing.

In place of them, I added several creatures and several equipments that give either haste or hexproof to keep bruna alive long enough to actually be able to deal damage. Once she swings, she gets all her indestructibility and totem armors and bonuses, but before then she is very vulnerable, so haste makes her swing faster, hexproof makes her invulnerable to everything but board wipes and sacrifice.
