The "Totem Power" deck lets you harness the primal power of Zendikar's wildlife. Each enchantment with totem armor makes the creature it enchants bigger. In addition, the totem armor ability means that if the enchanted creature would be destroyed, instead only the Aura is destroyed. Use your Auras with totem armor to protect your creatures and make them large enough to run over any opposition. Those Auras also work well with Kor Spiritdancer, who gets an additional +2/+2 for each Aura enchanting it.

You can win the game with your creatures even without the help of totem armor. If something stands in their way, use Pacifism to keep it from blocking or Prized Unicorn to distract it so that your other creatures can get through. You can also crash through with sheer size. Cudgel Troll and Stomper Cub are large enough to dominate most defenses. Pelakka Wurm is a 7/7 creature with trample, and if that's still not enough, Gigantomancer makes any of your creatures 7/7. If you have enough mana, why not make all of your creatures 7/7?

Rise of the Eldrazi booster packs contain many cards that will help the "Totem Power" deck. Look for other Auras with totem armor like Hyena Umbra, which gives a creature +1/+1 and first strike, or the impressive Snake Umbra, which lets you draw a card every time a creature it enchants deals damage to an opponent. If your totem armor enchantments aren't enough to protect your creatures, enlist the help of Deathless Angel, which can make any creature indestructible for a turn!
