Oh yea @iloveslivers as you can see I took a little of your suggestions and a little not. From my experience you just save your protections for removal (never really had trouble with them, I rarely leave 0 mana untapped and no protection cards in my hand) and/or big hits with Temur Battle Rage for an extra heroic trigger with it, if they can get past that you're dead anyway

this looks pretty good, i have all the cards so ill try it after i use my green white heroic i just made Hardened Phalanx Reaper. i can always use some advice as im newer but playtesting has this a consistent swing for win by turns 6-7 at the latest. not nearly as fast as yours but i love Hardened Scales out with Phalanx Leader, added in Reap What Is Sown and Gleam of Authority and the counters get crazy.

I use to do a red white heroic deck before khan and that double strike instant can be huge! I stopped playing cause of not being able to play boros charm. Thank for sharing your deck.

I would actually put you protection spells in sideboard like Gods Willing & Ajani's Presence and replace them with Rouse the Mob because you should win the first game and then players will sub in Magma Spray if they have it, then you sub the protection in. The only thing I see as a problem is using up mana so the protection doesn't help. Just a thought.

I didn't think of it before, but the Lagonna-Band Trailblazer is basically just better than the Satyr Hoplite. Losing the power is absolutely worth picking up the three toughness. While the extra power on the hoplites will be relevent sometimes, trailblazers will give your opponent much more of a headache in the long run. They can shrug off a lot of removal. Roast and Stoke the Flames both come to mind.

Alternatively, you could drop only some of your satyrs and also drop some Fabled Heroes to fit the trailblazers. It would make your deck run lower to the ground, if you wanted to go that route.

@iloveslivers not a bad idea, I'll try it

Also, I think you may be selling Coordinated Assault a little short. Two creatures pick up two power and first strike each, so it's good for up to two heroics and up to two creatures winning fights that would have killed them, and, hey, one mana. Particularly nice at keeping Monastery Swiftspears alive.

...On the other hand, if you're really married to every one of your ten protection spells, then there's nothing else I'd take out for the assaults, exept maybe the Artful Maneuvers, but you already said you like those a lot and they do seem pretty cool.

How about you move four protection spells to the sideboard, which you exactly have room for, and run the assaults? If they're kill-spell-happy, bring the protection back in, otherwise you've got extra hitting power.

Phalanx Leader buffs all your guys, and taking out Fabled Hero frees up more mana...

Smelt, on the sideboard. For those artifact decks, maybe.
