Behold: the second great and bountiful Akroan Crusade!

Built around my first draft deck in Theros, this deck is lightning quick, utilizing Akroan Crusader to deliver huge blows early on and amass a token army of soldiers. The entire deck is very easy to play; the strategy pretty much just being swing hard and fast.

---

Akroan Crusader is a solid one drop, which when combined with some of the instants and enchantments, allows for huge blows to be dealt early on (I've gotten up to 9 damage turn 2).

Akroan Hoplite pairs well with the Crusader and the Pyromancer, giving a more solid swinger if the game is drug out longer than I'd like it to be.

Ash Zealot is a self evident inclusion in any fast red deck.

Legion Loyalist helps avoid the problem of early blockers I'll be facing due to the lack of burn in the deck. The haste is pretty cool too.

Young Pyromancer combo's fantastically well with the Crusader, each spell played on the Crusader now granting two tokens.
