Looks pretty nice, but I have a few pointers/suggestions that you could consider for improvement.

1. Auratouched Mage is a crazy card if you have some really powerful enchantments, like gigantiform. Also flickerform works amazingly well with it.

2. Ditch open the vaults and get Retether or Replenish. 4 mana, not 6, only does it for your graveyard.

3. Try Three Dreams instead of Totem-Guide.

4. I would also try Shield of the Oversoul instead of Holy Strength. You already have alot of low mana enchants. Oversoul on an Aura Gnarlid is an indestructible 4/4.

I used to play a similar aura deck, but now I play one that's a little more complex.

I've gotten way more than this for $70. Are you not buying your cards from ebay or something? Take a look at the bant deck I created; all of that + the sideboard was just over $70.

Just because this is white blue green doesn't make it Bant.

Yeah, I totally would, if I felt like spending $50 on cards that essentially do the same thing as birds of paradise.

Yeah, hydra is a little bit insane. And I just threw Ajani in there because he's the only planeswalker I physically have and planeswalkers are always useful. After all, this is my aura deck.

Noo, I never said it wasn't a serious deck, I just restated that I didn't really get around to making it any better than the obvious. And I'm always open to suggestions.

Keep in mind i did only throw this together in a short amount of time.

But at any rate, i agree and disagree. You want to get around 6 mana out as fast as possible where you'd be playing 2 rats per turn. As for drawing more cards, you're right, it would be more than very useful, but my efforts were being put forth in my aura deck and not this one. Feel free to make some more suggestions if need be.

Normally, I would put much more thought into making a deck, but quite honestly I threw this one together in 30 seconds just as something fun. I just remember getting one of these in the new m11 and instantly thinking "coat of arms". And yes, I think it is standard legal.

12 creatures? i've been playing an aura deck since i got into magic and I know for a fact that 12 creatures in an aura deck leaves you scrambling for things to enchant all the time. Put more creatures in there, like auratouched mage, or nomad mythmaker, and then stick a couple of Three Dreams in there. Don't rely on Garruk in an enchantment deck... you COULD get him out 4th turn, but it wouldn't matter if you're opponent already has 2 or 3 creatures out, he'd be dead.

way too many different auras to be anywhere near stable. And i'm curious to know why you chose to put bala ged, treespeaker and ledgewalker in there... they have nothing to do with auras.

What? dude how do you have an auratouched deck without flickerform? Do you even know what it does?

Won't work with just 10 creatures. You'll find yourself always relying on one or two creatures, and then once they're gone, you're screwed.

ditch greater auramancy. You're forgetting that once its in play you can't cast any more auras. Play it too early and you screw yourself over. play it too late and it doesnt serve a purpose. I'd replace it with Shield of the Oversoul or Indestructibility. hell, even canopy cover.
