unfortunatley blakxjokerx is partly right. I just tested my deck deck against yours and it kinda curb stomped it in the face. I think that may have been because you got bad pulls however. I think im gonna put a few more games together and see how it ends up. Let you know.

Rhinowarrior im not sure i understand your comment. Anyway, the deck could be pretty tight (very flavorful regardless) if you maybe focused it a bit more. I mean so many 2 ofs. Eh, who am i to say anything though.

That's why I'm here trying to get solid suggestions! blakxjokerx

Thanks Rhinowarrior lemme know what you think needs adjusting.

EzraTerrestrial i understand completely. plus, it can be very hard to make a good themed deck in standard. Hopefully you figure something out here. Maybe more Hero of Iroas and more auras? i dont know.

I think that you have a lot of good cards in their but a lot of them are focusing on different strategies. You have enchantments, heroic, and you have purphoros, but you also have weenies. Which one is your main?

in *there. oh dear.

I was thinking maybe remove the two Cavalry Pegasus and two Messenger's Speed and then add one more Phalanx Leader , one more Hero of Iroas , and two Nyxborn Shieldmate .

With Launch the Fleet targeting a Phalanx Leader , the Launch the Fleet has to resolve, therefore I get all those tokens; then the heroic triggers which makes them all 2/2s. So that's a nice combo and I think warrants a need to have possibly four Phalanx Leader .

Then with Nyxborn Shieldmate , we add an enchantment to trigger heroics and fuel Eidolon of Countless Battles and be cast for cheap with the three Hero of Iroas in the deck.

What do you guys think?

sorry man but your confused on the phalanx leader/ launch the fleet interaction

first, launch the fleet is a sorcery so you can only cast it during one of your mainphases

second you have to attack to get the tokens

so the order is actually cast Launch which targets Leader triggering heroic, launch resolves, go into Combat stage, you attack get token.

love nyxborn shieldmate, also like Gift of Orzhova

and NobleRooster up there is wrong about Hero of Iroas having any effect on Spear of Heliod's cost. Read the cards again.

blakxjokerx says... #13

oh and you may want to consider Ethereal Armor

You're right, blakxjokerx, I was thinking it was instant speed for some odd reason. Yeah, Hero of Iroas only effects aura enchantments, but being able to bestow for cheaper and trigger those heroics on little mana is still good flow with the deck. Maybe I just need to make room for more Nyxborn Shieldmate .

What so you guys think I should do with Purphoros, God of the Forge ? I don't really need to turn it on, because it's ability with a well placed Launch the Fleet could do some serious damage. Heliod, God of the Sun might be better because I could activate it with devotion and the vigilance would help protect me when I am swinging all out with Iroas, God of Victory in play. Though his mana ability is costly, it might help if I'm top-decking and have mana to spare.

you should change this to a white only heroic deck

An Edit to an Earlier comment: Yea, I'm dumb, Hero of Iroas doesn't work on Spear of Heliod , I thought it was enchantments, not auras. On that note, although his first ability still doesn't help that much, he's a beast. I put him into my own heroic deck, and boy, a turn two 2/2 gets huge quickly. Play him.

I've been waiting for a brew-master to make a 300 deck post JOU. Well done, sir! The comments just require this...

Did you consider a Prophetic Flamespeaker or two? Seems crazy good when you curve him into a 4 drop like Iroas (or just essentially draw 2 w 4 mana, or pump for a billion)
