People say Akroan Horse sucks? I have three words for them: read the title.

Akroan Horse doesn't suck. In fact, it's awesome.

Akroan Horse, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, and Assemble the Legion all spawn tokens to that can be used for a variety of ways: attackers, defenders, and burn.

Firefist Striker and Tajic, Blade of the Legion have neat combat tricks with their Battalion abilities.

Soldier of the Pantheon is a nice headache for multicolor decks (and we all know that multicolors not exactly rare in Standard- quite the contrary) and is a 2/1 for W. Pure win.

Ogre Battledriver makes my creatures, especially my tokens, more powerful and gives them haste, allowing them to pressure my opponents faster. Did I mention its boost ability stacks with each other Battedriver on the field?

Purphoros, God of the Forge is a nice burn enchantment (because it will probably never be a creature) for my token generators (especially Elspeth) that lets me pump excess mana into buffing my creatures

Path of Bravery has a nice lifegain ability that synergizes with my attacking creatures. Eventually they'll get the buff.

Boros Charm is super versatile, but let's be honest, I'm almost always going to use it for the indestructible permanents part.

Aurelia's Fury sets me up for an alpha strike and prevents counters.

Magma Jet and Lightning Strike are probably the best burn spells in Standard right now. They let me get rid of pesky creatures my opponent has and whittle down their health.
