I am have built a deck using Soul of Windgrace as my commander. The decks wincon is Commander damage. So to achieve this I have aura, double strike enablers and additional combat. I would like your advice on my aura choices and are they good for coat and how effective they are. I choose not to do equipment for this version to be more flavorful to his personality where he hated/disliked artifacts. And aura seem kind of Nature based I guess. Here is the deck list. Leave any thought there.
I added some stronger aura and got rid of Blanchwood Armor and Claws of Valakut. You bring up a good point on these.

This seems to be more suited as a value based commander than a Voltron commander. It doesn't have a natural form of evasion, like trample or flying or anything like that. If you really want to go Voltron, you need to look into getting evasion on him, most likely in the form of trample. You've got some good choices in here, like Rancor, for example. A sneaky good evasion card you could run is Dauthi Embrace. I would not avoid equipment, and consider adding Trailblazer's Boots to the mix, as well.
Honestly, there's so much good equipment out there, like Fireshrieker, Sword of the Animist, Lizard Blades, just to name a few, and I'm trying to keep it budget. If you don't have a budget, you can go nuts with high-priced equipment.
I don't really like Blanchwood Armor and Claws of Valakut in here, because you are in three colors and therefore can't really focus on one of these, and you are running a lot of nonbasic lands, making it harder for them to really run up the power for you. I'd like Blanchwood Armor better if you were running Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth. There are some really high CMC auras you could run that would buff him up more, like Colossification and Epic Proportions.
I think you should look into some land recursion, too. Cards like The Mending of Dominaria and Splendid Reclamation.
