First Modification —Aug. 24, 2014
MAIN DECK: +2 Temple of Triumph, +4 Favored Hoplite, +2 Chained to the Rocks, -2 Plains, -2 Dragon Mantle, -2 Hammerhand, -2 Spear of Heliod
SIDEBOARD: +1 Glare of Heresy, +3 Revoke Existence, -4 Soldier of the Pantheon
SOLVED PROBLEMS: No creature spells in first turn; problems in dealing with big creatures, artifacts and enchantments.
The problem about Phalanx Leader and Vanguard of Brimaz is that both are WW. They will a problem in early game because my one-drop is Akroan Crusader , unless I open the game with Battlefield Forge .
I used to play Modern with a Eye Candy, so 12 creatures is OK for me. If I need more, Soldier of the Pantheon to Main Deck resolve the problem.

And what is your play when you don't have Akroan Crusader in your opening hand?

It is the main weakness of my deck. If I don't have Akroan Crusader in my opening hand, it's a dead turn. I'll have to wait for the second turn to cast Akroan Hoplite , Phalanx Leader or Raise the Alarm .

So that's also a situation in which you can play a plains and then another on turn 2 for Vanguard of Brimaz or Phalanx Leader . You could also add scrylands as T1 plays in which you don't have Akroan Crusader , or add another 1drop like Favored Hoplite .

I think adding a few more creatures would do this deck good, either more Phalanx Leader to go taller or Vanguard of Brimaz to go wider.
