I am, like many of you, enjoying the journey to nyx spoilers. But one card grabbed my attention recently that may has not been on your radar.
Lauch the Fleet:

I feel like this card is ridiculous, and I will tell you why.
I believe standard is dominated by decks like mono-black devotion and esper control.
But I feel like this card makes a new deck possible that has a chance in standard.
With cards like
{Spear of Heliod}
{Akroan Hoplite}
All you need is 5 creatures on the board to deal 20 damage.
5: 1/1 creatures are 2/2 due to {Spear of Heliod} and then cast Launch the Fleet to deal which: 10 creatures that are 2/2 deal 20damage!
And that is talking about one turn. Even know late game it's still ridiculous.
I think red white weenies can be a thing.
It's not hard to rack up 5 creatures on the board quickly, especially for weenies.
An easily win with this new archetype could be:
Turn 1: {Soldier of the Pantheon}
Turn 2: {Precinct Captain} Swing with Pantheon
Turn 3: {Spear of Heliod} Swing with both creatures
Turn 4: Swing With All + Launch the Fleets finish the game off Turn 4!!!!
So, is it possible for a this to be a thing?
Or am i just brewing up possibilities?
I have 3 turn 4 win combos with Launch the Fleets

{Boros Charm}
{Brave the Elements}
{scourge of fleets} flashed in somehow after {launch the fleets} has done its work.
