with or without darksteel plate, its a 3 card combo... in EDH... that isn't exactly a guaranteed win. as long as they have blockers they are fine, or any removal, or any counter.... not a chance at being banned.

thats the exact point. gather the townsfolk gives 2 creatures, giving you battalion on any card that has it. or it gives champion of the parish 2 counters. Plus, against another aggro deck, you can easily allow yourself down to 5 life, getting the fateful hour bonus. If you aren't against another aggro deck, well, you should win early anyways. lol. thanks for the input though, much appreciated
ya, foundry champion ive kinda seen i should take out. I only kept him in because i have the promo card from gatecrash release. thanks though
if your running cards out of extended or vintage. why not replace lava spikes with lightning bolts. EXACT same thing, but you can target creatures too.
any idea about fiend hunters though? i was really considering trying to add some, but can't quite figure out what id rather have them over. thanks for the help. i have an ash zealot i forgot about
dont run 4 assemble the legion either, they are too slow and are a 5 drop so running 4 in an aggro deck is too muchadd in your spark troopers, and firemane avengers asap. too good to leave outconsider lightning mauler in place of firefist striker/warmind infantry. their battalions aren't too great.i also really like truefire paladin as a 2drop seeing as you can pump him for damage if needed, and if all else you get a 2/2 vigilance for 2 mana. try adding him in over those firefist strikers/warmind infantry like i said
