"When I first put this deck together, it looked pretty weak and I figured it was going to quickly get outclassed by everything. To my surprise, it was actually quite potent. It is a little light on removal, but that could easily change if we move some of the Suspension Fields and/or Devouring Lights to the main. I didn't want the creature count to go too low though, and there aren't a whole lot of good options besides these creatures:
Herald of Anafenza performed way beyond expectation. At first it looked slow and clunky and doesn't hit hard enough early. I overlooked the fact that it was a one-drop that gave me inevitability in the midgame. It's one of those cards that looks rather innocuous until you've played with and against it. It provides bodies to pump Eidolon of Countless Battles, and those tokens get bigger with Phalanx Leader, Hall of Triumph, and Spear of Heliod. And it grows itself all the while.
Seeker of the Way is another card that performed above expectation. In conjunction with Ajani's Presence it is a surprise 4/4 lifelink indestructible creature. Similarly if you play the Seeker on turn two and then Hall or Spear on turn three, you attack for four and gain four life. Let's not even talk about how good it is when you bestow Eidolon of Countless Battles on it!
Brimaz, King of Oreskos is quite possibly my favorite card in Standard so far. It dodges a lot of the common removal in the format (Ulcerate, Bile Blight, Lightning Strike, Anger of the Gods) while being a card that can win a game on its own, all while playing both offense and defense!
Soldier of the Pantheon is especially good against all the multicolor creatures in Khans of Tarkir, and it hits just as hard as it always has.
Beyond these creatures, we had only a few options. I went with:
In order to play the heroic creatures, I need a certain threshold of spells that target them. Hencefour Eidolon of Countless Battles. The others are:
That's 10 spells that trigger heroic, which is about the minimum I would need to make the heroic creatures playable."
