THIS DECK IS NO LONGER STANDARD LEGAL

Here's a deck based around Assault Formation from Dragons of Tarkir.

This card is pretty broken. I'll give you one example.

T1 - Lagonna-Band Trailblazer T2 - Assault Formation T3 - Glaring Aegis on the trailblazer, tap one of their creatures, 2x Shape the Sands on trailblazer, swing for 20. GG.

My maybe board is filled with ideas for this deck based on suggestions from people and my own ideas. The big thing would be to switch out black for blue. I probably won't change the deck a lot from its current form, but you can get a lot of ideas on what can be done with it from my maybe board.

Thanks for all the +1's!
