Deck Description

Poor Iroas was hyped only to see limited play in standard. I am trying to change this. Despite the cycling out of very good boros cards (e.g. boros charm, boros reckoner, rw shockland) I figured this deck could actually work due to several factors:
1) chained to the rock is amazing and one of the best creature removals right now
2) chained to the rock + banishing light + spear of heliod + soldier of pantheon's multicolor protection = good amount of long-term devotion for iroas
3) is not completely dependent on getting iroas to work. Stormbreath, many form of cheap removals, and very efficient mini-creatures make this deck work. Speaking of stormbreath, that dragon is really good this format because desecration demon cycled out and banishing light is such a key form of removal.

My thoughts:
1) did a 2/2 split between brimaz and goblin rabblemaster. One is great for devotion and one is great for mana curve. Theoretically, the latter should be a bit more effective but I haven't tested yet.
2) generator servant should be really good in helping us cast our high drops, putting in early offense against control, combat tricks where you sacrifice it just after blocking to cast 2 burn spells for 2 mana, etc.
3) this deck can put out a lot of small damage in the beginning and has a very good reach midrange and late-game. Unlike other aggro decks, this deck doesn't get punished for going "all in" due to defensive cards like deflecting palm and iroas. Depending on the match-up, you either have a choice to burn your opponent OR play midrange and focus on creature removal.
4) considering crater's claw and ark lightning.
