Also Hero of Iroas + Sunbond is freakin amazing. However this deck falls short vs removal.. which there is a lot now Hero's Downfall, Murderous Cut, Silence the Believers, Utter End. The 4 Feats and Gods Willing should be enough though

@xarop_pa_toss - Cheers for the +1! Fabled Hero is definitely a powerhouse, but he still feels too slow vs 3-mana removal like Hero's Downfall if I have to tap out for him. Getting out Battlewise Hoplite or Hero of Iroas on turn 2 and being able to protect them on turn 3 feels so much safer. I am considering Fabled Hero in the sideboard, but I'm not sure that there is a match up that he dominates.
Sunbond is a bit underwhelming considering that my only lifegain in this deck comes from Ordeal of Heliod. I could add something like Mortal's Ardor if I went for more of a lifelink theme, but that would require a pretty big deck change that I'm not sure if worth it.
Phalanx Leader will get added to the maybeboard. With such a low creature count, I could prefer having a cheaper and arguably better creature like Favored Hoplite out, but I may end up raising the creature count and then Phalanx Leader would become much better.
@cjk191997 - Done. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Dromoka's Command is the only reason to splash for green. It's also going to be hard to play with only 12 creatures. Especially with all the red out there.

Thanks guys! I haven't updated this deck since KTK, but if I do update it I will definitely include Dromoka's Command.
I believe it was Tom Ross who recently top 8-d one of the SCG weekends running a U/W heroic deck which splashed green just for the command, so it must be that good.

I think you should give Fabled Hero a try. It is such a big threat. As a secondary win con you can try Fabled Hero + Phalanx Leader . You can get a +2/+2 bonus on both of them in a single spell cast on Phalanx Leader. And that translates into a 4/4 that hits for 8. I'll play test it with both of them and tell you what I think.
