RW aggro intended to do a lot of damage early. Trying to get many soldiers down early on and pump them with spells, as there is a heroic theme going on. Purphoros, God of the Forge and Assemble the Legion really serve to help out late game (I hope).A real work in progress, it is by no means finished or as effective as it could be. Please comment or like if you want to make me feel better, im surely open to suggestions.

T1: Akroan Crusader preferrably or Favored HopliteT2: Phalanx Leader, swing with crusaderT3: Madcap Skills onto crusader, Gods Willing onto leader, swing with everything (including the now 2/2 token).T4: Purphoros, God of the Forge or any other combination of spells to pump your heroic creatures. Opp life should be low-ish.

Here's to experimentation!

Took out Akroan Hoplite, didnt feel it was fast enough, put in Soldier of the Pantheon. Madcap Skills, though cool, can be a waste. It lets your low toughness soldiers become wide open, easy targets for removal, which there seems to be a lot of in this format. Chained to the Rocks was put in instead, as it aids in the big creature removal (something the deck lacked before). Additionally, Magma Jet in place of Lightning Strike because the scry helps filter for lands and targeting spells which need to be drawn quickly.
