Can't stop this legion with the most potent creature warfare and burn spells. Decks without significant removal will be no match for the battalion: Boros Elite , Legion Loyalist, Wojek Halberdiers , Frontline Medic , and Firemane Avenger.

Enchantments elevate the battle tactics. Spear of Heliod gives a buff, as well as plays defense when you have nothing else to use the mana on. Hammer of Purphoros lets you activate battalion quicker, and makes use of excessive mana late game. My favorite however, is Legion's Initiative, buffing and providing an emergency out.

Against those decks with enough strength to challenge your army, your instants come into play. Boros Charm my favorite, can hit 4 hard/ kill a planeswalker, or battle potency, nuff said. Warleader's Helix may be expensive, but can set an 8 life difference or act as removal. Magma Jet for some extra spice and that savory scry.

And of course there must be gods, it's theros. With a creature heavy deck, Purphoros, God of the Forge keeps the damage hammering. I was hesitant to add Heliod, God of the Sun but hell, vigilance is awesome, 2/1's for battalion, might as well. He also seems like a team with Hammer of Purphoros: haste vigilance creatures. Don't forget the upcoming god, Iroas who will ensure victory (swap him in for an Aurelia).

Now this deck has some weaknesses. It has few means of messing up your opponent besides going straight for the heart. Sided are some useful tricks like Gods Willing, Brave the Elements, Aurelia's Fury, Celestial Flare , Revoke Existence , and Mizzium Mortars, and Arrest. I still haven't thought about the ideal ratios yet so I went with even distribution.

Other tidbits: Hellraiser Goblin gets that haste for battalion, the medic protects against accidents. Spirit of the Labyrinth is an aggressive 2 drop which helps limit the opponents pace.
