The main objective here is to go wide with creatures pumped up with 1/1 counters plus the Menace that we get from Iroas. I have included a modest token generation suite that includes some classics like Assemble the Legion, Skyknight Vanguard, and Finale of Glory, but also pet cards like Raise the Alarm and Heroic Reinforcements (among others). We are drawing cards with Demand Answers, Rogues Gloves, and Vanquishers Banner. Towashi Guide-Bot and Idol of Oblivion are also in the mix to help us draw cards and synergize with the token and counter generators. I am a little light on removal but Chained to the Rocks is another fun pet card, and Spear of Heloid and Ride Down give us some other options in specific situations. Our Knight’s and Soldier's will block and swing for big damage with a couple of Angels helping us with air cover and a few fun abilities.

I am planning on adding some additional protection since Settle the Wreckage is kind of all I have, and I am looking for more ways to create extra combat turns and/or give creatures haste.

All in all this is a fun deck to play so far and holds up pretty well against the 6/7 power level decks that I have cone Up against. The flavor is a little off (especially with the Fallout cards and Towashi Guide-Bot), but the battlefield of Soldiers, Knights, Angels and Clerics all fighting for the glory of their war-war-God is pretty neat. Would love some feedback!
