---

Aura Enchantress Voltron. Put down auras and Light-Paws pulls out more auras.

Slow hands that can't hit commander damage quickly or efficiently will want to turtle out the game with protection pieces. Want to build up enchantments on the board until you can swing for lethal with Ethereal Armor, Sage's Reverie or All That Glitters and Battle Mastery. Failing that, pray you can hit some unholy combination of auras that just barely manages to push you past 21 commander.

Protection

A good amount of single target protection, but we don't have much in the way of mass removal.

• Teferi's Protection and Guardian of Faith protect us from board wipes.

• Mask of Law and Grace can search for Shield of Duty and Reason giving Light-Paws protection from four colors for one white mana. Crown of Awe is just Mask of Law and Grace, but more expensive. Flickerform gives on-demand exile that keeps our auras for four mana.

• Benevolent Blessing can shore up our weakness to white removal, but it's non-detach clause only applies to auras that have been attached before it. If you plan to use it this way, make sure you're already set up.

• Spectra Ward functions similarly, but is slightly more flexible. You won't be able to target Light-Paws with an aura, but if you can enchant something else, her trigger will still go off and you can attach the new aura to her.

• Timely Ward, Shielded by Faith and Hyena Umbra to protect from destruction.

• Flickering Ward, Pentarch Ward and Ward of Lights are primarily in here for their utility more than their protection.

• Pariah and Saving Grace are there to protect us from other players, particularly from other voltron players. Ideally, pair them with some sort of indestructible or protection effect so Light-Paws isn't just sent straight to hell after taking a million to the face.

Removal

Not much removal or interaction. The CMC of this deck is very low to the ground and it wants to go fast and win before any really scary threats can come down. Eliminate high-risk players first and removal should be unnecessary. Swift Reconfiguration, Temporal Isolation and Swords to Plowshares are our options. Consider saving Swords for Light-Paws herself, in case she gets hit by any hard-to-remove lockdown. No commander means you're almost guaranteed a loss.

Other Notes:

• Flash down Solid Footing and search for Radiant Grace  . Flash down Stoneskin and search for Battle Mastery. 26 commander damage out of nowhere. Look for Spirit Mantle or a Scarab (Black Scarab, Blue Scarab, etc) or the appropriate protection piece if you need to evade blockers.

• Relic Ward is here because it has flash. We don't have many artifacts to enchant, but surely someone at the table does.

• Spectra Ward pulling Mantle of the Ancients from the deck can help us rebuild our board if we do get wiped. The auras that Mantle pulls from the grave will be able to attach.

• Can manually grind out auras with Flickering Ward or Conviction, but it's slow and not ideal.

• Pull out Angelic Gift or Chosen by Heliod if you just need an on-demand draw or aren't properly set up yet and don't want to risk more important enchantments. They're quite low-impact outside of their ETB, so feel free to slap them on one of the other creatures if you find yourself with a slow start and just need to draw.

• Esper Sentinel, Land Tax, Teferi's Protection, Daybreak Coronet and Flickering Ward all contribute to a large chunk of this deck's cost. None of them are strictly necessary and can be swapped out for other things, but they certainly do make life a bit easier for us.

Cards for consideration:

• Retether, Brilliant Restoration, Open the Vaults or Replenish can help to rebuild if we wiped.

• The Scarabs can be replaced with the colored Wards (Black Ward, Blue Ward, etc) for more safety. Keep in mind that White Ward will pop your other auras off, so maybe keep White Scarab if you intend to do this as it will still help avoid blockers.

• Lunarch Mantle lets us sacrifice our commander if she gets locked down.

• Murder Investigation. It's really not very good, but I think it's funny.

• More vigilance to turn on Solid Footing? Considering how easy it is to search up specific auras, it doesn't seem necessary.

• More three-drop auras to more easily seek out Stoneskin? Potentially. Will need to playtest as is, first.

• I need better mana rocks.
