With the cards currently spoiled from KtK Mardu appears to be teeming with synergy. I seek to harness it!

Iroas, God of Victory is fairly easy to activate in this deck with all of three drop permanents and five drop permanents provide him with 2 devotion each.

The deck is capable of killing by turn four in a vacuum.
T1:Soldier of the PantheonT2:Akroan Hopilite, attack for 2T3:Mardu Ascendency, attack and receive two 1/1 attacking for 9 totalT4:Iroas grants all creatures madcaps evasion and you can attack for game

T5:Zurgo with Iroas on the field provides a powerful board presence and at this point a good chance of being able to turn Iroas into a creature.

For one more mana than Heroes downfall I can get around indestructible and target everything. The versatility is lovely.

Crackling Doom tends to kill the biggest threat on the board and avoids hex proof as well as indestructible. The two damage is just gravy.

I included 1 copy of Heroes downfall just incase I run into a troublesome plainswalker.

I could use the most help creating a sideboard. It is not really a skill of mine. Also any suggestions on improving the mainboard would be welcomed. Especially if you play test it. :)
