So, I have a Boros deck that sometimes just wins by having a Boros Swiftblade enchanted with a Madcap Skills attacking. Then, it came to my mind: What if I create a deck that focus in that scenario: a double-striker, evasive creature, with a good power boost, that can win me a game by turn 4 or 5?
This is what I've got for now. Let's go for a card breakdown:
Double Strikers
In my searches, I could not find any creature with double strike with CMC 1, what was a shame. On the other side, we have plenty of them with CMC 2. The deck is all centered around then, so I had to keep the Boros colors to make it work somehow.
Boros Swiftblade: mentioned above, started all the thing, my favorite in this deck.
Fencing Ace and Adorned Pouncer: White double strikers.
Viashino Slaughtermaster: Red double striker.
Auras
As mentioned above, we need evasion. In white and red we can mostly get evasion in the form of auras. Let's check:
Madcap Skills: With Swiftblade, started the whole thing. Early game evasion, plus a great boost in power.
Spirit Mantle: My favorite aura of all times. Protection from creatures is even better than blue an black's unblockability.
Ethereal Armor: We already have a lot of auras, so it was auto-included.
Za Buffs
Ok, you already have an evasive double striker, what do we need now? More power!
Brute Force: Red Giant Growth!
Titan's Strength: Power and scry!
Mutagenic Growth: Zero mana! It actually reads: Pay 2 life to make opponent loses 4 life!
Sideboard
In progress, but I came up already with:
Stave Off and Gods Willing: After they know your build is heavily based on your creatures, they are probably going to bring some killing (Doom Blade), bouncing (Vapor Snag), etc, so try to counter them with protection! Just take care because protection may remove you own auras!
Rubblebelt Maaka is practice an uncounterable Brute Force. It was originally mainboarded, but I realized that it does not trigger Fabled Hero's Heroic, so I moved it to the side. It may be nice against control matches.
Pyrewild Shaman has a similar role.
Oblivion Ring for pesky permanents.
Lands
Last but not least... the coice for the lands! How can you play a deck like this without lands?
22 lands are good enought because the heaviest card in the deck is Fabled Hero, and I need space for the shenanigans.
6 Mountains/8 Plains because the deck has a little more white than red.
Clifftop Retreat because it almost always enters untapped.
Temple of Triumph because scry.
Sacred Foundry/Mana Confluence etc are out of budget...
