Heroic USA Themed deck.

The theme of the deck is heroic trigger to buff up the creatures. After getting an heroic creature to 5 or 8 counters you start moving to the next heroic. I tend to use only one heroic just incase they do a board wipe, Hoplites can be thrown out as blockers while one heroic deals the damage.

Mantis Riders are in this deck because its an attacker and chump blocker when your heroics are tapped out. Cards like Ordeal of Thassa and Defiant Strike are to get heroic triggers and to draw cards to keep a hand. Gods willing and Mindswipe are used to protect heroics. I have Mindswipe for the burn and tapping out raid decks. Jeskai Charm is used for burning or lifelink. Many times i find myself attacking a 3rd time to get my opponent down to 1 or 3 life and they swing in fatal their turn. If they have a big enough creature that can stop you from attacking you can also use the Jeskai Charm to retrun that to the top of their library. Aqueous Form is used to of course direct attack but also to scry. This is helpful when your going to use Thassa or Defiant Strike and even setting up your next draw.

The land base is so so. it probably can change to be better but this is what i found to not be short on mana.

For the sideboard Heliod is used for aggro decks, if your playing aggros you can take out Mindswipe and a Gods Willing, Same goes with Polymorphist's Jest. Its better to get 1/1 frogs attacking in and blocking is no problem. Poly is good for Green creatuers such as Hydras and Hornet Nest. Deflecting Palm can be used against burn or any big creature attacking. Erase is generally used for mirror match or any enchantment heavy deck. Last but not least is Godsend. Godsend isn't ideal but for a heroics attacking something like a pumped up creature or hornet nest can be removed. It doesnt trigger heroic but you still get 3/3 and your heroic does get a bit more scary.

I love playing heroic and i would like to make this deck better. Let me know what you think and what improvements can be made.

This deck was used 2 times at FMN. First time I went 4-0. Second time it scored 2-2.
