Deck discussion for Expendable army

Before I begin, let me say I see a great deal of potential in this deck. I think that a Red/White Token Battalion deck, if pulled off right, would be absolutely KILLER. I do see a few items that I do not agree with, so I will address that here.
So, if this is so aggro, why do you have Chained to the Rocks? Why isn't there a Purphoros and/or Heliod? I would suggest sideboarding Soldier of the Pantheon.

Also, replace Spark Trooper. You need to maintain field presence and Spark Trooper, while useful for that one turn, won't help you very much.

Why is there not a single Akroan Crusader? You need more targeting to trigger Akroan Crusader. If you can combo that with Purphoros, that's also 2 damage an opponent takes.

Now, for the positives.

I LOVE that you put in Elspeth. She's a great token generator. That was a good idea.

I like Precinct Captain. Just ensure you find ways that your Captain will indeed deal damage. Phalanx Leader would prove quite nasty here as it makes your tokens strong enough to withstand an Overloaded Electrickery.

You were good to include your Charms. Those can be very useful when used correctly.

My other suggestions:

You seem to want to control and hit. You're running what looks like it's supposed to be aggro, but you're running Imposing Sovereign. Chained to the Rocks. Glare of Heresy. I don't see any aggro in those cards. I'd replace those cards with targeting spells for a Crusader or Leader, if you decide to run those.

Again, this deck has a lot of potential, even if it has been Unloved. Please. Work on this deck. It would be a shame to see a deck go to waste. :)

If you would like, you can take a look at my own Battalion deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/soltur/decks/redwhite-boros-battalion-unit/

Of course, Shadow. I do not like seeing decks go Unloved because each and every deck has its own potential that has yet to be tapped (no pun intended). Think of deckbuilding as...putting together a puzzle. How does each card fit in with the others to make a sound whole? :)
