In trying to figure out what the best option would be for standard after Origins hit, I kinda made this up on the spot based on Abzan Aggro. I also factored in the fact that rotation is fast approaching, so I did my best to make this minimally reliant on Theros and M15 cards. The result is this, which some quick playtests have proven to me that it could be viable.

Notable interactions:

Anafenza, the Foremost - In the current meta of raptors and den protectors, this card shines like none other. Sure, they can answer it with their own removal probably, but there's a good chance some of their creatures won't be coming back from the grave.

Ajani, Mentor of Heroes - He can both give us gas and give us the extra bump to swing through some annoying blockers.

Dromoka's Command + Heir of the Wilds - Deathtouch and fighting make a great combination. If you do it after combat, you could even save your Heir from Lions, Coursers, and other bears (oh my).

Gideon, Battle-Forged + Siege Rhino - Swing with the rhino, block with the rhino. Oh, and he gets that nice indestructible to survive the occasional Polukranos.

So, this used to be my assault formation deck, but that had rather poor results, so now I'm going for Abzan Aggro.
