Welcome to the Ultimate Boros Guild Challenge!
As I have just concluded the Golgari Guild Challenge, I felt there was no better way to wrap that up than to -finally- get started on the next Guild Challenge: Boros!
I have summed up the list of contestants, and I can announce that there is a total of FIFTY-THREE decks in the running!
To confirm whether or not your deck accepted, take a look at the list below. If your deck is not there, it is possible because;
a) You posted it the wrong place/I couldn't find it,
b) You used cards from outside the allowed sets,
c) You broke another of the deckbuilding rules (60 cards, no hybridcoloured costs, 100$ budget, etc.)
If anyone feels left out, I apologize, but don't worry, there'll be 8 more challenges for you to participate in!

Heloed (soroboros-1) versus ninjadude159 (The Boros Legion)
killroy726 (The Boros Brigade) versus BYE!
killroy726 gets the first BYE! of the tournament, and is thus ineligible for another one, further in the competition. The same rules apply to everyone else - If you've had a BYE, you can't have another.
I've enlisted the help of a few volunteers to play out these matches, so I should have them up rather quickly (subject to interpretation). Keep an eye out for the first round, which will be played as BO1 to save time.
Untill then, stay sharp, keep brewing, and comment below if you have an interesting story, comments on me, myself and/or I, or just want to cheer on your opponents!
//Dallie
Pshh, cheer on your opponents. Yea right! I'm going to win this whooooole thing!By the way, good luck Nox.LD, and everyone else for that matter

How did people submit decks? I wanted to do one...
August 14, 2013 12:54 p.m.
@Droxium: Yeah, sorry it took so long.
@Narwek: You WILL cheer them on, or I shall smite you, and misplay your deck!
@pingpongball120: There was an article where people signed up. It's way in the past though.
August 14, 2013 3:02 p.m.
People of this challenge, your hair smells amazing!!! Looks nice too!
Better?
August 14, 2013 3:54 p.m.
Awesome! Just, don't cheat or anything for me. I want it to be fair. If I lose, I lose

CanadianShinobi says... #11
Well this is going to be short. psychoza has a scary deck against my basic rush. Ah well... I'll try my hand later on.

APPLE01DOJ says... #12
looking forward to the results, and then the next results & the next results so we can get on to a more interesting guild. lol
good luck to every one who has a deck in this.
August 14, 2013 10:53 p.m.
Best of luck exarkun809, you have an extremely interesting deck.
And may the best brewer win!!!
August 15, 2013 12:52 a.m.
exarkun809 says... #15
Thanks Cdawg44! I built it to specifically beat the aggro, but your deck looks quite resilient. Good luck to you as well!

APPLE01DOJ says... #16
whats the next guild in the challenge going to be?
August 17, 2013 12:49 p.m.
APPLE01DOJ, thats actually a good question.... Im wondering too.
August 17, 2013 1:04 p.m.
@APPLE01DOJ: I am open to suggestions. I should make a vote post about it.
August 18, 2013 5:17 p.m.
These will all be faster games, so we should go for one of the slower guild challenges, like Azorius of Orzhov
August 18, 2013 7:19 p.m.
Dallie these are going to be very aggro-ey (aggroey?) games, which means they will be quick.
Next I'd suggest a change up with a slower guild, like Azorius :)
August 18, 2013 7:32 p.m.
Yup, I pretty much agree with taking a slower guild next. I'll Ponder the subject and return to you.
August 19, 2013 1:21 a.m.
By the way, am I the only one who reads APPLE01DOJ as "Apple 01 Day of Judgment"?
August 19, 2013 7:42 a.m.
APPLE01DOJ says... #29
The DOJ actually stands for Dai-Ou-Jou (Peaceful Death)
It's a DoDonPachi reference, one of my favorite games.

August 19, 2013 12:55 p.m.
Any guess as to when the first round results will be up? I vote Azorius for the next guild, btw.
August 21, 2013 12:12 a.m.
@AzrielBarakiel: I can neither confirm nor deny that you have lost or won your first match which has or has not been played.
@anewsome: This week.

AzrielBarakiel says... #36
My god... O_O I feel like i now know less than I did 5 minutes ago.... you are an evil mastermind aren't you Dallie?
August 21, 2013 1:53 a.m.
Some real life stuff came in the way of the matches. I will try and get them up this week. I apologise for the delay.
August 25, 2013 8:02 p.m.
Yep. Real life stuff is much more important. We all understand
August 25, 2013 8:19 p.m.
Dallie, Do you think it would be possible to do the same challenges after these, with the 3 color combination decks, using the Alara block?
August 27, 2013 11:25 p.m.
@Narwek: It's definitely possible, I would be happy to help you arrange it, but when these challenges are done, I'm probably going to hold back on my articles for a while. If you'd like it to happen, hit me up, and I'll be glad to assist you.
August 28, 2013 1:39 a.m.
@Dallie: Right now, as I've been thinking about it I'm not sure what block/blocks to use, as Alara didn't have all 10 shards... Maybe Alara and Return to Ravnica, but you have to use at least 12 cards from each of the sets, that way one block isn't dominating?
August 29, 2013 12:26 a.m.
TheLameSauce says... #46
So...Been waiting quite a while for this... How goes it?
September 27, 2013 2:26 p.m.
Not yet, university is really taking a toll on me. I apologize for the long long long delay here.
September 29, 2013 5 a.m.
Don't worry about it Dallie, life is much more important than this
September 29, 2013 1:04 p.m.
I am halfway through the first round though, so expect an article this week.
September 30, 2013 3:43 a.m.
I don't know if you'll see it here first, or on your wall APPLE01DOJ, but your deck link isn't working for me anymore. Please re-upload, allow access (un-private it) or in another way convey the contents of the deck to me, if you still wish to have it played out.

Check out the new article. Or don't. Whatever.
Thank you all for your patience.
October 8, 2013 4:44 p.m.
I feel obliged to mention that I was trying to play it cool with my previous comment, and hide my excitement about the article finally finding it's way to the Article page. In a joke-ish kind of way.
It didn't work.

mealdeal805 says... #55
This looks like a lot of fun let me know when the next one is!
November 5, 2013 12:55 a.m.
@mealdeal805: If you head over to my page you can follow me to see when the articles go up. Otherwise, keep an eye out for the Articles, I have a few rounds of Boros left until the next one starts up.
