This is my take on a new standard with Jeskai - Heroic triggers.The purpose is to pump out tokens with Akroan Crusader and Launch the Fleet while ramping them up with Phalanx Leader. Using that strategy in combination with the new Abzan Falconer and Abzan Battle Priest (for sustainability) will make for a deadly flying, acrobatic, scrotum smashing blow by roughly turn 6-7.

Please leave me comments and suggestions. I am open to removing and adding colors as there are both black and green heroic goodies thanks to Abzan in Khans of Tarkir.

The badger is not irrelevant. He is my Pride and Joy
