So, the deck has been modified quite a bit since the start of spoiler season. I realized Frenzied Rage was simply way too slow and had too much potential risk for card advantage, which with limited resources needs to be stretched out as much as possible. I added a bit more cards that focused less on early game and more on the mid and late game. Turns out Boros Challenger + Heroic Reinforcements + Tajic, Legion's Edge is a turn 4 20 damage combo over 2 turns. Path of Mettle   was added as a counter to other aggro decks, as well as a way to get more reach. Any feedback is appreciated!

EDIT: Added Response / Resurgence. Trying to figure out what to replace Healer's Hawk with another turn one play. Most cards in the maybe board are some considerations so far. Currently replaced with Fanatical Firebrand for testing.

EDIT #2: Aaaand Haazda Marshal answered my prayers! Added 1 more Boros Challenger and Shock in lieu of 1 Vindicator and Dauntless Bodyguard. Rustwing Falcon is a placeholder until Marshal is added.

EDIT #3: So Tajic is now a thing. And a fantastic thing at that, so I made a bit of room for him, generally making the deck a bit faster. Also, turns out having Dauntless Bodyguard often turn out to be a vanilla 2/1 that is difficult to mentor feelsbadman. I decided to replace them with Fanatical Firebrand, as it hits as soon as it enters the field, can be mentored, and can potentially ping stuff to allow bigger stuff to hit face.
