I come to you guys and gals for some help. I've been trying to narrow down my decklist for when M15 rotates in, but I can't get the feeling of this deck "just right".
The Deck Idea - U/W Heroic Soldiers
I've been playing WW for the last couple months and I've been having fun. I felt with M15 gives me a chance to really shake it up.
Potential Creature Cards Boros Elite - All around a solid choice when you plan on throwing tons of guys at your opponent. Soldier of the Pantheon - I like him, but I'm still not sure how well he fits in here. Favored Hoplite - That heroic trigger is pretty darn sweet. Aegis of the Gods - Not sure if I want to run mainboard or sideboard as I feel quite a few decks will have target player spells. Battlefield Thaumaturge - One of the key cards of the decks. Allows for me to much more efficiently control the board and cast spells for heroic triggers. Also HAS heroic. Precinct Captain - Solid 2 drop soldier. Battlewise Hoplite - I like the heroic trigger as it helps me dig. Preeminent Captain - This card coming back is wonderful, it can lead to more soldiers. Fabled Hero - OHEMGEE, one of my favorites. Can win turn 4 with this guy. Brimaz, King of Oreskos - Another great card, especially if I bring it in with Preeminent Captain. Daxos of Meletis - Least favorite 3 drop, but still seems strong. Not sure why he hasn't seen much play. Dawnbringer Charioteers - Meh, not too keen on this one. But its still on the list. Lavinia of the Tenth - Same as Brimaz, King of Oreskos. Palisade Giant - A generally not playable card that can be played through Preeminent Captain. It is also creates a problem for red.
Cool deck you have there! The first card that comes to my mind is Hero of Iroas. Here is a video of the U/W heroic deck Craig Wescoe played at the PT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igOXZjqYSNM . His deck was block constructed and limited to Theros card only, but a really good starting point to build off of. As for your list specificly, I don't think Boros Elite really does anything. I would definetly cut it and replace it with something like Ordeal of Thassa to get some early card advantage.
The hero has no real synergy in the deck since the detention spheres aren't auras and I don't want to run a watered down version of Naya Aggro. Boros Elite is going to be play tested against Soldier of the Pantheon, but Boros was mainly in there to get the bigger damage off with launch the fleet.
The thing is, Hero of Iroas is so powerful he is one of the reasons to be playing a white based Heroic deck in the first place. And Ordeal of Thassa is exactly where you want to be if you are playing U/W.

Spells
Launch the Fleet - Overwhelm them with numbers, solid card.
Gods Willing - Protection + Scry + Heroic trigger
Glimpse the Sun God - Can be used for both board control and heroic triggers.
Polymorphous Rush - Heroic Trigger + stronger creature
Dauntless Onslaught - 2 x +2/+2 and two heroic triggers.
Triton Tactics - Would help vs aggressive decks.
Mizzium Skin - Meh, not too sure.
Dispel - Much instants, such scary.
Deicide - Die enchants and gods, die!
Ajani's Presence - Not a strong card, but still has a chance.
Polymorphist's Jest - All your board are belong to frogs?
Enchantments
Detention Sphere - Obviously.
Banishing Light - Less obvious, but still.
Combo-Nations
Battlefield Thaumaturge + any instant/sorcery. I could Glimpse the Sun God at the end of your turn, Launch the Fleet my entire board, Dauntless Onslaught for 1. Makes every instant/sorcery just so much more effective.
Battlefield Thaumaturge + Polymorphous Rush + Preeminent Captain. Hopefully I put out a one drop as this would allow me to attack with 3 Preeminent Captains on turn 4.. owowow.
Hopefully I have shown you my dilemma! I think there is real potential here and could sincerely use the MTG communities help.
