Boros Battlemasters (Modern MTG Deck)

Just me reminiscing about the good old days of Ravnica. I always loved the Boros Guild, and felt like remaking a deck. That being said, the purpose of this deck is not to be competitive (though I'm not opposed to improving it), but to reflect the old Ravnica Boros guild with the most temporally accurate yet still reasonably powerful deck I can devise.

Most of the old Boros cards are very heavily focused on controlling the combat phase, completely and utterly, and so I did my best to make a deck that reflected that goal.

Artifact weapons were added to enhance this combat control ability. The problem with this is that there is literally only one weapon worth playing that comes from the Ravnica set: Sunforger. That being said, Master Warcraft + Sunforger is an absolutely insane finisher, as it will allow you to initiate a combat phase wherein you are guaranteed to place all damage on your opponents face. Throw in the fact that the majority of your creatures already are capable of outputting loads of damage, especially when equipped, maybe activate a Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion the same turn, and your opponent is simply toast. Another noteworthy combo is Concerted Effort + Sword of Vengeance to give all of your creatures first strike, trample, and vigilance. And of course, your late game should be simply ramming everything into your opponents face with Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran to buff up all your creatures for a lethal offensive.

As always, I welcome any and all suggestions, especially if there is some amazing weapon out there where I should be putting in this deck which I have failed to put in. I also highly welcome sideboard suggestions, as most of the cards in the current sideboard are being left there simply to remind me to make a Boros commander deck based around the same concept and utilizing these cards at some point.
