Fair enough. I just saw the Relic Axe, and it made me think of the Obsidian one..

KingKilvas Thanks for your suggestions! I'm not sure why I hadn't already included Liege of the Axe, but he's in the list now. I also added Stonebrow, Krosan Hero. I initially thought he wouldn't fit the deck since I don't have many trample creatures, but in review he's a decent creature without having many other trample creatures. I've also included Obsidian Battle-Axe and Relic Axe since I have enough warriors to justify this, however the other axe equipment i've seen aren't that great sadly.

Thanks again.

Some equipment you could add: Obsidian Battle-Axe, Relic Axe, Amorphous Axe, Marauder's Axe, Murderer's Axe, and probably the best if you lean into these, Bearded Axe.

For creatures, Liege of the Axe, Stonebrow, Krosan Hero, and Boggart Loggers seem like worthy includes.

Fun bonus option, Burden of Guilt doesn't feature an axe, but gives the vibe of shaming people for not using axes.

Before worrying about sideboarding, I'd focus on getting the main down to 60 cards. The closer you are to the minimum deck size, the more likely it is you'll draw the best cards in your deck. In this case, it looks like you want to build a party deck with Haktos the Unscarred as one of the bombs. The first thing I'd do is identify which cards are actively working towards that end or are particularly efficient. If something doesn't fit those descriptions, cut it. If it does, try to acquire multiple copies of it. For example, Gore Swine isn't doing anything here that a party member couldn't do better, so I'd remove it. Compare that to Expedition Champion who has more stats for the same cost and actively synergizes with the warrior theme, so having 4 of him wouldn't be bad. You can apply that logic to the entire deck. Practiced Tacticsis better than Sandblast. Suspension Field is more cost effective than Skybind. And so on.

After thinning the deck to its strongest options, then I'd focus on upgrades. Seek out other decks with similar goals and see what they're running. You can then endeavor to purchase the best cards you see in such examples, budget permitting. I don't know much about Boros party, but a quick search revealed Archpriest of Iona, Grotag Bug-Catcher, Stonework Packbeast, Squad Commander, Journey to Oblivion, Kargan Intimidator, Luminarch Aspirant, Relic Axe, Goma Fada Vanguard, Robber of the Rich, Tazri, Beacon of Unity, Fissure Wizard, and Seasoned Hallowblade, and that's only looking at standard. Modern brings even more options, particularly for Boros warriors. Arashin Foremost, Boros Reckoner, Mardu Woe-Reaper, Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, Obsidian Battle-Axe, Grim Lavamancer, Jeering Instigator, Fire-Belly Changeling, Grand Abolisher, Mirror Entity, Bygone Bishop, and Selfless Spirit all come to mind.

Looks fun. I disagree with the other commenters regarding draw/recovery. I think that these partners are best played as a glass-cannon, all or nothing, win early or bust strategy. This is just my 2 cents but I would make the following swaps:

Impulsive Pilferer -> Skirk Prospector. T1 Prospector = T2 Jeska!

Arcane Signet -> Simian Spirit Guide

Lightning Bolt -> Rite of Flame

Chandra, Torch of Defiance -> Lotus Petal

Leyline Tyrant -> Seize the Day

Trailblazer's Boots -> Dust Corona

Solemn Simulacrum -> Treasonous Ogre

Loyal Apprentice -> Inquisitor's Flail

Fireblade Charger -> Smoke

Champion of the Flame -> Neheb, the Eternal

Monastery Swiftspear -> Captive Flame

Koth of the Hammer -> Relentless Assault

Ruby Medallion -> Dockside Extortionist

Ring of Valkas -> Relic Axe

Whispersilk Cloak -> Champion's Helm. Rograkh having shroud could be problematic for you.

Lightning Greaves -> Taste for Mayhem

I really like the deck but i feel Relic Axe is way to slow.
