Ever since Hardened Scales was spoiled, the Heroic ability is starting to look better. With creatures like Phalanx Leader, Akroan Skyguard, and Hero of Iroas, along with the Ordeal auras and other Heroic triggers like Gods Willing, I feel like Heroic will have a better chance in Standard. My idea of a deck would include some of the following (although much to change later on):
Although not all cards for KTK have been spoiled, do you guys think it's viable? And because KTK focuses heavily on tri-colors, do you think it necessary to include a third color? Could be U to include disruption spells, or B to alow cards from Azban clan
Sage of Hours if you're going to splash into blue. Ordeal of Thassa is probably one of the more interesting Ordeals anyway. I played my red-blue heroics for the first time during last week's FNM and it went 2-2. Not bad for a budget deck I built on the same day. Aqueous Form is absolute beast.
Just go Abzan for Anafenza. Then you also open up a lot of disruption with black if you want to run Thoughtseize and removals with Drown in Sorrow/Bile Blight.
