Revision: May 11, 2013
Early game:
I can usually amass Champion of Parish and stack counters with
Gather the Townsfolk
early game and hang onto
Faith's Shield
and Boros Charm for later. I'll blast some early threats with Mizzium Mortars. I may pressure with a beefed up
Champion of the Parish
whom may be coupled with an additional
Champion of the Parish
and Lightning Mauler.
Mid game:
I would start to amass Frontline Medic and
Boros Reckoner
followed by Silverblade Paladin and begin to pressure with attacks on turn 3 when Battalion activates. I can usually achieve this with
Gather the Townsfolk
and protect with Boros Charm if needed.
Late game:
I can usually deter the enemy from attacking or blocking with the presence of
Boros Reckoner
coupled with limited appearance yet knowledge of the fact that i hold Boros Charm in my hand to counter any sort of silly answers they may have.
Finally we can cap off any resistance with a late game robbery with Zealous Conscripts. With Frontline Medic, there is no answer.
Edit:
-1 Firefist striker-1 Legion Loyalist-2 Hero of Bladehold
+1 Frontline Medic+1 Boros Reckoner+2 Zealous Conscripts
After lots of testing, I really love the way the deck runs. It also appears that just running Hero of Bladehold made it very overpowered even in an Extended format. So I decided to just simply remove them and replace them with a late game quick hit. I was initially going to use Molten Primordial but realized that the cost is way to high for an immediate threat. A friend recommended Zealous Conscripts and it fit the job perfectly. With the removal of Hero of Bladehold, the deck is now properly standard.
I also tested Frontline Medic and to my surprise it worked wonderfully when it hit the field. I also realized that the Firefist striker and the Legion Loyalist weren't really fitting the tempo that I was setting so the Medic and the extra Reckoner should fit it in a lot better.
Replaced
Firefist Striker
with
Nearheath Pilgrim
Replaced
Faith's Shield
with Cloudshift, I just realized the potential for combo with Zealous Conscripts and
Champion of the Parish
. With the possibility of taking control of 2 of my opponent's creatures or keeping one permanently.
