To each their own I suppose. I played with Ash Zealot a lot last standard, he's a direct upgrade over the dasher, and even he was often underwhelming.

You run a decent amount of mountains could you see Chained to the Rocks as some spot removal ?

I also agree with both you and N-E-A-T-O as valley dasher is kinda dissapointing with 2 power and borderland maruder is just so damn slow. could you see Hero of Iroas because at least he could be pumped and is scary because of that ?

I would like to see more spells in this deck too I feel like Coordinated Assault is an important spell can really blow out combat with seaker and monastary also 4x Lightning Strike ? is Soldier of the Pantheon really better than Favored Hoplite ? i would believe it but I am not sure because it dies to tokens

Thanks for your comments! I've thought about chained to the rocks, but I have definitely gone a number of games mountainless, Banishing Light, for this particular build, is definitely the better option. I like the hero for a lot of decks, but not for a deck with no auras to receive his buff, the 3 power is honestly very good. The current standard has a ton of multcolored cards, and the soldier tears them up. Lifegain, untargetable, unblockable. The assault is a great card, but to be honest I don't think I have quite enough creatures, sometimes I flood the board, but sometimes it's a one man team, and without a second target, you can't cast that card. It fits great in the token decks, and it could be good, but it can also be dead. It's a card I should definitely consider, where would you put it if you were going to run this list?

If i were building it i would so something like this

Out 1x Hammer of Purphoros2x Anger of the Gods1x Aggressive Mining4x Searing BloodI am not a fan of Hammer 6 mana sac a land get a single 3/3 golem that can't even punch through a courser bleh...

Anger is a card decks side against you because it hurts you so bad. this card would often be dead. maybe arc lighting if you are afraid of the jeski/ mardu token deck but i think you are faster than it

Agressive mining is fun but if you hit turn 4-5 you are basically dead already from rhinos or butchers and youll only have 2-3 lands ideally so you can't sac many but maybe it is worth the spot I just can't think of a game where i would want this in my opening hand.

Searing blood is hard as shit to cast as a 2 color aggro deck maybe it is duable but i like alot of cards over this one.

side 2x Ride Down2x Erase2x Ajani's Presence

ride down is a great card it removal and gets damage in also it is not easy to deal with because even if your creature gets killed the ride down still one for ones. but alot of decks dont care about blocking. or having there tokens killed mardu and jeski token are the most common in my meta so i wouldn't main board this card. I want it versus Abzan enchantmants and Mono-Green fatties.

Erase is 1 mana removal for those abzan enchantment decks also it is almost manditory vs jeski combo wombo ness.

presence can blow out games if you get to high enough mana. But most of the time it is just a 1 mana 1/1 indestructable which i think i would perfer Coordinated Assault as it means 2 of your things kill there things.

in3x Coordinated Assault2x Lightning Strike

i like coordinated assult so yea

lightning strike is always good unless bolt is in the format

Deflecting Palm is good, though I might run it mainboard as a surprise finisher on your opponent when they think they have you. I also think you should have Chained to the Rocks instead of Banishing Light. Akroan Hoplite should have a spot in here as well, it's a very underestimated card. A couple more Gods Willing/Feat of Resistance for evasive action; even Rouse the Mob would be decent.

Altac Bloodseeker instead of Borderland Marauder
