A red/white heroic deck I've thrown together to get back into standard magic. It's surprisingly good! Let me know what you think.
CREATURES:
Anax and Cymede
- They're an awesome alternative wincon, for trampling over the opponent, they also make good chump blockers.
Fabled Hero
- A double strike hero is a beautiful card, and a 2/2 is even better.
Favored Hoplite
- A beautiful one-drop that is basically immune to aggro burn as long as you have mana open.
Hero of Iroas
- Not just a bear, but a hate bear that lets me cast auras for almost free.
Phalanx Leader
- Creature Pumper Extraordinaire
ENCHANTMENTS:
Ethereal Armor - First strike, heroic trigger and +1/+1 for 1 mana? Don't mind if I do.
Madcap Skills - A turn 2 madcap skills can turn a favored hoplite into a 5/3 that cannot be blocked by a single creature.
Ordeal of Heliod
- With aggro decks becoming popular, this card gives a huge advantage when pumping an already pumped creature, by gaining you 10 life and at least 2 +1/+1 counters in one turn for 2 mana.
INSTANTS:
Boros Charm - Whether a cheap 4 damage, a heroic trigger that adds double strike for a turn, or making all of the heroes indestructible in response to a sweep or kill spell, this card is the most versatile card in the deck.
Gods Willing - For when you don't want your heroes to die, but would rather inject them with steroids and then rig your draw.
Martial Glory
- Allows you two trigger up to 2 heroes or pump one hero to a +4/+4 for the rest of the turn.
Titan's Strength - For the best pump ever, and a possible 9 damage on turn 2, as well as some draw rigs.
PLANESWALKERS:
Ajani, Caller of the Pride - While he doesn't trigger heroic, he does create an alternative win con which can raise up a hero above the other creatures AND give him double strike. It's intense.
