Eat cards, poop soldiers

This was originally a boros token deck relying heavily on Akroan Crusader & Vanguard of Brimaz heroic triggers and cantrips as the general "theme". After some thought decided to splash blue for Battlefield Thaumaturge + Launch the Fleet as he turns an already ridiculous card I was running into a sick 1 drop mass effect combo, double your army for 1 mana?

Since I am splashing blue Jeskai Ascendancy + Obelisk of Urd has the possibility of a free obelisk, cast Retraction Helix and you can even go infinite.

Instant speed cantrips can make for some awesome combat tricks as well if you want. The cantrip cards in standard aren't that great, but they're cheap and we were abusing them anyway so their real effect don't matter, the power of the rest of the deck and the way everything plays on everything else is amazing in play testing.

Most combo decks postpone till you can hit the combo, here its just one of many win conditions. A turn 5 win is completely plausible without any elements of the combo in place. I have been hitting the combo on T8-10 or so which is where the "normal" power of a token deck drops off significantly.

Feedback is extremely welcome.
