This is a grindy hexproof deck that tries to exploit Cloudform, Sage's Reverie and Heliod's Pilgrim to build an unbeatable monster and take over the world.

This is not your normal hexproof deck. It doesn't aim to race, but to negate your opponents strategy by tutoring for the right aura at the right time.

Some notes on specific choices: Divine Favour, Aspect of Gorgon - limited fodder but big backsides = perfect blocker. +3 life recovers from early pressure, deathtouch kills large monsters and both buffs can block Siege Rhino on a cloudformed creature. Eternal Thirst - a tutorable lifelink Battle Mastery - the auto win? Often sideboarded out though. Karametra's Favour - card draw and tutorable mana fixer. Citadel Siege - used for board control rather than creature buff. Both modes are useful though.
