Throw as many low cost enchantments on Phalanx leader to boost all other creatures,add the battalion and get some great damage with low cost creatures.

Play {Favored Hoplite} or {Fabled Hero}.  You won't have a {Phalanx Leader} every game

Favored Hoplite is a good replacement for frontline medic thanks!

i wanted to use him but the +1/+1 doesn't stick like with the other creatures.

I'd have a lot more creatures. Soldier of the Pantheon as another 1 drop, Precinct captain as a 2 drop.

Ethereal Armor is a good choice for triggering heroic but heroic should be an aspect of the deck, not the focus.

The main problem I see is this deck collapses against sweepers and Anger of the Gods will be in standard. I would add Brave the Elements to Boros Charm to try and keep some protection for your creatures. Alternatively, Gods Willing would help against spot removal, also trigger heroic and allow some scry.

Also, I wouldn't use the Temples of Triumph. An aggro deck does not want lands coming in tapped. Use 3 Mutavault instead as it can become an attacker and help trigger battalion.

Boros Reckoner is a great 3 drop as well.

Chained to the Rocks is great as removal in this deck and also works with Ethereal Armor.

Try to make your 1 and 2 drops one colour if possible to ensure mana consistency.

Mutavault is a good suggestion and I will be using it!
