Uncle Sam chooses you to help make the most bad ass 'murica deck you can think off. What better way then to get a bunch of Legends together and just go to town on some fools.

For real though, this is my Legendary America Creature Deck I have been working on for a while. The idea behind it is to attack often with many creatures, but have ways of negating the damage they take. This is done by giving the creatures flying, unblockable, first strike, Iroas, God of Victory, Elite Scaleguardor Dolmen Gate. Another option is to have them get buffed through field buffs from cards like Heroes' Podium and Day of Destiny or bolster with +1/+1 counters from the likes of Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit or Dragonscale General . While my Commander, Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest, isn't the most flashy of commanders he is the best I could find for the color scheme I wanted. Also giving creatures double strike fits well with the deck.

Cards I am on the fence on whether to keep or add:

Ephara, God of the Polis : She was for added cycle since a third of my deck is creatures and I shold be playing a creature every turn, but not sure if I can get by without her. I just liked having multiple gods from the Theros block also.

Semblance Anvil : Really only to get creatures out there faster, but not sure if it would be worth it to exile a creature, because I like all of them.

Konda's Banner: It is another way to buff multiple creatures and it can buff nonlegendry, but not sure how effective it will be.

Citadel Siege; Monastery Siege; Outpost Siege: All for added utility and they adapt depending on the situation. Not sure which ones are best or should be cut. Thinking Outpost>Citadel>Monastery at the moment, but like all for at least one ability.

Jeskai Ascendancy : The buffing and cycling are just so nice, but a) I have to discard and b) I don't have all that many noncreature spells in comparison.

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death: I get to put creatures onto the battlefield when I attack! Hello again Legion Loyalist, but then there are only 5 other cards that work some of which I am on the fence over. If I were to increase the number of =< 2 drops she might be better. Otherwise maybe Reya Dawnbringer?

Second Sunrise: A just in case my field is wiped card, but it might not always be worth or there might be better cards.

Cards I am lookiung to replace:

Narset, Enlightened Master: At first I had more noncreature spells, but slowly the deck changed. I am not sure how often I will get a free card, or what good creature I might exile with her.

Warden of the Eye : Wanted some type of way to pull from my graveyard and he fit the colors, but not sure if he is worth a spot

Herald of Anafenza: I wanted more one drops, but there aren't many Legandary 1 drops. This is ok, outlast is expensive even if you get a token.

Sage of the Inward Eye : Thought I liked the lifelink, but it doesn't have a whole lot of synergy otherwise

Planeswalkers are what I am looking to add the most, but not sure which will fit the best with this deck. Venser and the Ajani's are currently my favorite as they buff or give a way to swing.

I know there are other cards I have overlooked or missed, but if anyone has suggestions they are more then welcome!
