After seeing Purphoros's spoiler, playing around with guttersnipe, and falling in love with Assemble the Legion, I came up with this skeleton for my post rotation deck. Basically the idea is to swarm the board with tokens, having them both deal damage as they enter, as well as grow into a horde of 2-3/1's with first strike. I have a few threats to benefit from trample.

Originally I had focused more on a battalion opening, but switched to a young pyromancer to try and get some token generation outside Elspeth and legion. This deck is very much a work in progress! I'm looking for any and all advice, card suggestions, and possible effective combo's. Really hope to brainstorm with some of the incredible magic players on here, want to learn as much as I can, and make this work!

So far I'm really happy with how the deck is performing. The Scry is doing wonders for making it perform consistently, although the decks I have play tested against don't have much in the way in removal. I guess time, and more testing will show weakness's for the deck, but right now the variety of threats keeps things moving forwards.

So a few more changes, removed 3 Weapon Surge for 3 Martial Glory. I feel this will work better, they added power in they additional target will have far more impact then they overload for Weapon Surge. I also removed 1 Assemble the Legion for a 1 Titan's Strength, since I'm finding Assemble the Legion hasn't been all to effective, the scry and the +3/+1 has proven to help tip the early/ midgame in my favor.

Finally I withdrew 4 Young Pyromancer for 4Akroan Crusader, after experimenting to find the early token gen is much high for Akroan Crusader with my current instants set up. After seeing the strength behind pure heroic focused decks, Fabled Hero being the champion imho, I wonder if this deck will go that way in they end lol.

As always please leave a comment if you have any suggestions or thoughts, be them good or bad, as well as dropping a upvote if you like it! Thanks!
