Attack, attack, attack, and attack some more. Once you start attacking, don't stop. "But my creatures will die!" False. With Iroas at the helm, your creatures are free to launch themselves into the fray with no chance of defeat in combat. This deck is incredibly aggro, and often wins before your opponent can put something together. Why? They're forced to block your ever-increasing army as their health dwindles. Cards like Assemble the Legion keep your army always growing, even after a board wipe. Iroas himself gives everything menace, meaning that's even less your opponents can block.

Once Iroas hits the board as a creature, swing with him. Constantly. Remember, 3 direct hits from Iroas is all it takes to hit that magic number of 21 commander damage. I feel like this deck takes on a Voltronish feel, seeing as a lot of my games are won from Iroas.

Ex: Cast Ogre Battledriver, next turn cast Gratuitous Violence, next turn cast Iroas. He enters as a creature and as a 9/4 indestructible creature with menace and haste. Swing. Cast Boros Charm and give him double strike. Oh look, you just swung for 36 commander damage on turn 6 (actual way I won a game before, nut hand). That hand is likely not to happen again for a while, but those kinds of shenanigans happen quite often.
