I am a budget player, this deck helps to create a strong offensive flying presence with a seriously low cost to my wallet. A lot of these cards I already have from FNM booster packs/per-release packs.

The concept of this deck is to fill up the board with heroic creatures to rush the opponent. Several of these creatures have flying attached to them to help with that.

Hold at Bay and Gods Willing saves me or any of my creatures from damage.

Akroan Skyguard and War-Wing Siren create flying creatures and great heroic +1/+1 abilities. These will be my main damage dealers. While Phalanx Leader , and Akroan Crusader creates a ground offense/defense.

Preeminent Captain job is to bring out soldier creatures without paying their mana cost.

Phalanx Leader and Anax and Cymede are useful in buffing up my soldiers for great damage.

Ordeal of Purphoros , Ordeal of Heliod, Hammerhand , and Titan's Strength all help create the heroic buffs and stronger creatures.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, I am a budget player, so cards like Elspeth or Planeswalkers in general I can't afford. I know I could trade in some of my money cards for them, but please, any help I can get I would be grateful.
