This is a double strike deck. Almost every creature in the deck has double strike. These creatures are relatively weak, so the idea is to power them up with auras, equipment, and instants. The commander is Anax and Cymede, a red/white creature that gives other creatures trample and +1/+1 whenever Heroic triggers. In a way, this could be labeled as a heroic deck as well as a double strike deck. Many of the creatures are low mana cost, and their goal is to be fast and attack quickly. Any power boost, from sources like Loxodon Warhammer, Thunderous Might, or Madcap Skills is made doubly useful from double strike.

I am interested in suggestions for more cards that benefit creatures. They can be auras, equipment, instants, I'm open to all. At the moment I feel that I have too many creatures for this deck's mission statement and I would like to balance it a little bit.
