Well @Halstinavos seeing as Courser of Kruphix is alreasy suggested, maybe Sylvan Caryatid? To amake it a bit more midrange compared to how aggressive it is currently. I don't think there much more to add. Also I'm in favor of adding blue in the place of black.

I highly recommend cutting 4 Archers' Parapet for 2 Sidisi, Undead Vizier and 2 more Commune with the Gods. Sidisi gives you a way to find Formation and is also a solid beater/blocker without it. Adding more Communes will give you a higher chance of hitting Assault Formation every game.

After switching a few things around, I definitely feel like the deck is more consistent. Especially with it now having 4x Commune with the Gods.

Here is my take on the deck. It's pretty rough, but I like what red does for it.http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/assault-on-standard/

I tested this out against abzan control with sidisi and it went pretty well

A couple suggestions I added on.

Orator of Ojutai for flying which is lacking.

And defiantly side a couple Virulent Plagues for those token decks.

I went 2-1 with my take on this at FNM. Got beat by GW devotion so I would highly recommend End Hostilities on the side.

Now I really love this deck!!! I want to build it right now!!!

LOVE THE SCOURGE!!! "Ok you killed my AF, I'll just have scourge eat my 0/9 guy"Do we have anyway to untap scourge after he eats someone?

I'd still squeeze in 2-4 rhinosAF helps him, he might be that direct damage you need and if they destroy your AF you still kill them with if

Maybe tasigur or courser or something to help late?

Definitely add mana confluence

Den protector to get our AF back?

Love it love it love it

Oooo collected company, yeah

I forgot to say but I would 100% absolutely include at least 2 Favored Hoplites in the mainboard, take out 2 Disowned Ancestor or 1 and 1 Scourge of Skola Vale or Nyx-Fleece Ram or something, find a way to fit 4 in if you can, by far and away the best heroic card, provides its own protection, counters spells, blocks strong creatures and then turns around and kills them, works in this deck even without Assault Formation which gives you more security, and it starts out as 1/2 which is more advantageous for this deck. In my R/W heroic (R/W Heroic budget turn 3 win against a blocker) it is usually Favored Hoplite that ends up winning the game for me one way or another. Amazing card

Can't stop thinking about this deckCan't sleep can't eat

AnywaysStill trying to sandwich in those rhinos

Also I'd like at least one delve spell to take advantage of commune

Become immense?

Also also maybe I'm favoring anafenza the foremost and collected company

So many options!

My favorite deck idea right now. I've been building a GW version, but may try adding Black after seeing your build. I've included [Abzan Beastmaster] in mine. It almost always nets me card draw when it sticks around.

Awesome deck! I built a similar one right when I saw assault formation get spoiled. BUT YOU GUYS. No one has suggested my absolute favorite card for this deck: Foul Renewal. It's amazing removal/recursion. The look I get when I target rhino in the graveyard is just priceless. It's why I won't cut black.

archeantus, I can imagine the look I'd have if you used Foul Renewal to target Siege Rhino...ouch.

I am running a very similar gw deck...I would suggest Elspeth, Sun's Champion as a board wipe over End Hostilities as she shouldn't effect your creatures...Also like Shamanic Revelation for card advantage in the mid game.

On my take of this deck I found that cutting 1xCommune with the Gods and 1xScourge of Skola Vale and replacing them with 2xFeat of Resistance improved the deck overall. Thus giving the much needed protection from a kill spell or perhaps making a creature unblockable.

Love the ideas

I was thinking valorous stance for protection/removal

I just got most of cards in mail :)I'm already thinking scourge is too slow :(
