Revoke Existence is an absolute choice. Also Ultimate Price is a pretty good one.

I'very built a similar deck around assault formation... my only suggestion would be jeskai barricade to bounce siege rhino or spidersilk net for flyers. +1 sir.

I would consider running more creatures in the mainboard and putting Commune, Shape the Sands and Collected Company to the sideboard, also although defender can be dropped via Assault formation you may want to drop Archer's Parapet.
For potential replacement creatures:

Lagonna-band Trailblazer 0/4 with Herioc for W
Nyx Fleece Ram 0/5 for with lifegain for 1W
Yoked Ox 0/4 for W
Abzan Beastmaster 2/1 with extra draw every turn for 2G

Most will basically be 4/4's for 1 mana in the deck or a 5/5 for 2 mana isn't bad either all without having to pay G to attack with them, and the Beastmaster although not an attacker is a great draw engine.

Also consider Chosen by Heliod; although weaker than Glaring Aegis the draw from it allows you to keep better tempo/draw into the assault formation.

Sorry for double post but felt I might as well attach a link to my current version of an Assault Formation deck:

Hopefully something useful there.

Good to hear it went well, I'm surprised by the inclusion of Eidolon of Rhetoric thought that it would slow you down, also useful was Windstorm? I've been thinking of adding it to my Assault deck to counter all the dragons but wasn't 100% whether it'd be mainboard or sideboard.

windstorm main i was able to take out thunderbreak and stormbreath out without taking any combat or target damage
Eidolon helped against jeskai plus collected company got around it to drop 2 creatures I should have ran 1 more
