This deck started out with the aim of exploiting the common bonds multiple creature targeting feature ( Reap What Is Sown is of course a purely better card). Over the course of the last few months, it has evolved into a hyper aggro Selesnya deck targetting turn 4-5 wins.

The deck capitalizes on triggering multiple +1/+1 heroics with things like Bioshift, Reap What Is Sown and Warriors' Lesson , and then single heroic triggers with Gods Willing (a star of the deck), Mutant's Prey, Selesnya Charm, and Unflinching Courage (also a star).

Most of the creatures have +1/+1 heroic triggers allowing for fast ramp and combat tricks, Fabled Hero and Phalanx Leader are absolute stars in the deck (as is Fleecemane Lion despite lack of heroic), Favored Hoplite and Akroan Skyguard round out the heroics and Fleecemane Lion and Dryad Militant are in primarily because of their power to CMC, and where they are in the mana-curve (the lion of course has other uses as well if the game drags into mid range).
