If you are running R/W (anything) deck you need some {Chained to the Rocks}

The idea behind having IroAs be the key means I'm not worried about their creatures
So Chained and legion would not be great additions since their abilities only help you deal with creatures

well you still have to run some amount of removal. If someone has  {Stormbreath Dragon} and  {Polukranos, World Eater} out and all you have is Iroas and  {Boros Reckoner} I don't see you swinging with reckoner. The chained to the rocks, you go up one devo and take out that Polukranos before he starts wrecking you

And loyalists battalion shuts down Brimaz's tokens, which is freaking sweet.

This is a pure speed aggro deck
You don't need creature removal.
He would have to keep both creatures untapped just to block my reckoner and even then it wouldn't die
Also {Brave the Elements} says I get to swing with my creatures and there is nothing you can do about it.

Having no removal could be dangerous, particularly if they run removal because theyre one threat will overpower you if your field is shut down. At the very least i think it crucial that you SB a playset of chained

Brave/Ajani's Presence are both protection against removal.
Additionally when this set is legal Anti-Enchantment cards will be everywhere.
Chained to the rocks will keep its rather low value because It STILL won't see play except in one deck.
