You remember the good ol' days when Heroic was a thing? Here's my take on the excellent mechanic.

As per usual, you want to stack Auras and cast pumps on guys with Heroic, such as Akroan Crusader or Battlewise Hoplite and then go ham with all of the targeting spells available to you. You'll also notice some cards that are from Khans of Tarkir, such as Monastery Swiftspear and Seeker of the Way and this is because I wanted to capture what Standard looked like when Khans released. Anyways, they get big as you cast stuff in general, while your guys with Heroic are getting pumped and bashing face, usually with unblockable thanks to the unforgettable Aqueous Form.

This will be a new series as I do reiterations of some of the most powerful decks that existed in Theros block Standard, and if there's a decklist that you want me to do a variant of, let me know with a comment, and if you liked this deck or this idea, give it a good ol' +1 to demonstrate that. As always, enjoy the deck and if you have any questions/constructive critiques let me know below!
