Toughness Is Power

Aim

Use Doran to make high toughness creatures into massive threats and remove the 'defender' restriction from those constricted by it via enchantments, creatures or artifacts.

Key Cards

Assault Formation An alternative way of enabling the deck mechanic if my commander is disabled.

Rolling Stones \ Warmonger's Chariot \ Assault Formation \ Wakestone Gargoyle Allows my high toughness defenders to start attacking.

Disclaimer

All my deck centre around trying to do one or two things well based around a certain theme, they are not intended to be able to defend and cope with everything and anything that comes their way. (Good Card Suggestions vs Deck Dilution)

I am a 'kitchen table' player with a limited budget. As with all my decks advice and suggestions (as well as +1's) are always very welcome but keep in mind anything above the $5 per card mark I'm unlikely to consider.

The more reasoning you can give with any suggestion you make, the more likely I am to consider running it in the deck. This is because I can't always spot the combo or idea you are going for. Letting me know what your thinking gives me a better insight into how you think this deck might be made better by the suggestion.
