It's awesome seeing themes from various sets cross-pollenate and step onto the big stage.

Kaldheim had a bit of an enchantment theme going with sagas, as well as a very small aura theme based around Runeforge Champion and his five runes. The problem was that there just wasn't enough support around it to fully get there. Key word, "was."

Enter Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty.

Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty is a set with a lot going on, and one of those big things is a major enchantment theme.

Now Runeforge Champion has some friends!

Jukai Naturalist is perhaps the most exciting of the bunch, as when Runeforge Champion makes all of your runes cost one colorless mana, Jukai Naturalist can further reduce that down to zero mana and let you chain them all for free! The lifelink body is also perfect for beefing up. Generous Visitor keeps with the sizing up theme alongside Kami of Transience, which also provides some trample as well as durability.

Top all of this off with the raw, awesome power of Showdown of the Skalds and you've got a deck that can be extremely aggressive and linear, but also have the ability to recover big if things go wrong.

This is perhaps one of the most exciting new decks in the format, with various versions placing highly in various tournaments over the weekend. If you want to get in on the ground floor, here's your chance!
