As an avid U/W player i was praying this angel would be amazing, I can't say I'm disappointed either. Being able to attach auras any time she attacks or blocks is just...wow. She's begging to be played with Diplomatic Immunity  I think, but that's probably a given.

Lure  seems ineffective in the second deck since Bruna has flying. Instead, I would use Hyena Umbra  or something else that gives first strike, since it allows you to attack with Bruna and Auratog  , let Bruna deal damage, and then sacrifice everything to Auratog for more damage.

Seems like Sovereigns of Lost Alara might be a good pairing; if Bruna attacks alone, she can potentially get Auras from hand, graveyard, library and the battlefield!

lovely angel from a nice cycle, but i like Gisela better Gisela is more straightforward though. Anyway, nice decks, my first thoughts were infect, since that effectively doubles your power, so i was happy to see Corrupted Conscience

Yay for comboing 6 mana cards with a bunch of other 5 mana cards in a deck with ACTUAL zero ways to interact with your opponent's gameplan. I mean, I get that the purpose of these articles is to hype the card up, but it's just not fair to pretend any of these Johnny type decks actually work.
Oh wait, I'm sorry, I'm the evil guy shattering the hopes and dreams of casual players who really wanted to build that aura deck and, I guess.. Look at it as there's not a single format they could play it in? It's just silly

You saw that he put Vows into both decks? These are casual multiplayer decks, and they'll work (more or less) as such.
I do think DeEer's idea of Corrupted Conscience  sounds like a good one, should be x4. Steal your opponent's creature, then later bring it back from the graveyard as a buff. Could also have fun recurring cards like Capashen Standard  , or getting Volrath's Curse  back where you can use it. Similarly, Tattoo Ward  or Arenson's Aura  could be unlimited enchantment destruction. Maybe combine with an Iridescent Drake  + False Demise  / Fool's Demise  / Abduction  combo? Fallen Ideal  is one possible sacrifice outlet.
