Hey, I'm the guy with the other Boros/Heroic deck. I was just wondering what you think of Young Pyromancer instead of Akroan Crusader? The benefit Young Pyromancer is that it doesn't have to be targeted to create its token, allowing you to target other creatures and obtain their abilities as well as the Pyromancer ability.Of course, Akroan Crusader creates a token with Haste and costs one less mana to play. I'm not sure which is a better advantage to have. Thoughts?

I haven't run into too much trouble with Temple of Triumph yet. I'm sure there will be a couple of games here and there where it catches me. As for the early one drop, I actually am play-testing Soldier of the Pantheon and... I love it. Sooo good. I was forced to turn to Brave the Elements after my first FNM with this deck. Everything was getting killed and there just weren't enough Gods Willing. Let me know if you find any other cards or post a link to your deck and we'll be able to bounce ideas off of each other. Thanks for the ideas.
That is a very interesting strategy. I like it. But, I think it would be pretty situational and should remain in the sideboard. I hadn't even thought of targeting my own dudes tho. It makes that card infinitely better and its something my opponent wouldn't be ready for. I'll come back and tell you if I ever do it.
I considered it but went with the Instants that target two different creatures instead because when playing Heroic, it is a huge advantage.
You were right. It's so versatile and I updated the deck after your suggestion. After using this deck in an FNM I went back and added 4x Brave the Elements because creature protection was the downfall of the deck. However, I may only run 2 of them now that I am using the charm. My biggest problem was Supreme Verdict, which the charm deals with. Any other kill spells can be handled by Gods Willing, which also triggers heroic and allows me to Scry. I'm fairly confident with the tweaks and the charms should allow me to contend with it. Thanks!
Hey, I built a very similar deck thats still inside of Standard. Check it out and compare. I really wish Divinity of Pride was still in Standard... Works beautifully in this. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=156956
