A budget-ish U/W Heroic aggro deck with a touch of azorious control.

The deck's intent is to get the low mana creatures with heroic triggers out as soon as possible, and to trigger the heroic ability early and often. "Heroes" such as, Hero of Iroas, Fabled Hero and Phalanx Leader are the prime targets, and getting them out quickly is key. Spear of Heliod, and Heliod, God of the Sun add to the size and effectiveness of the creatures. Spells such as Launch the Fleet, Ethereal Armor, Gift of Orzhova and the Enchantment Creatures each trigger Heroic effects while Brave the Elements, Gods Willing are there for defense against removal.

The question for me is one of balance. I can't seem to find the sweet spot regarding ratio of heroes to triggers, or the perfect balance between aggro and defensive responses/control.

This is a fun deck that kills when the cards are right, but so far that isn't happening as often as I'd like.

Any constructive criticism is welcomed.

Also, remember, this is a budget deck, trying to keep it under $50-75.
