KaraZorEl Have you checked out the Old-school 93/94 or Premodern formats, or maybe Pauper?
The original Ravnica sets pretty much broke down the mechanical ally/enemy dichotomy. There's still the philosophical conflict, but that's really fallen off for the cards. Once in a while something like Sanctifier en-Vec or Change the Equation comes around. I think the developers just decided there was more useful space in exploring all color combinations, instead of only allies. How do you feel about cards like Soltari Guerrillas or Mystic Snake? And I'd like to see another Planar Chaos-style set.
Big money cards, yeah, that's an issue. Competitive Magic is getting really hard to transition into if you're not willing to spend on cardboard. My old car was worth less than most Modern decks.
Unfortunately, power creep, and moreso here complexity creep, is a fact of life in TCGs, since the alternatives are stagnation and regression. There's only so many parallel designs and side-grades you can do. And I would argue that M:tG has done really good in controlling power creep compared to other major TCGs. There's actually a ton of failed games that powercrept themselves out of existence within months--they couldn't keep up with themselves. For the Mahamoti Djinn, those early sets had no rarity balance. The Djinn was a rare, and is an underwhelming uncommon today. Lightning Bolt was a common, and it's too strong for Standard and a staple pretty much everywhere shows up. Demonic Tutor and Celestial Prism were both uncommon.
Modern Horizons sets just succeeded too well. They were designed to shake up the format a little bit, and ended up redefining it. Mission accomplished? But I think I saw somewhere that they aren't planning on any more direct-to-Modern sets in the near future.
None of this is meant to invalidate your thoughts, just offer another perspective. I'm learning that I tend to have a pretty permissive attitude toward what the game can offer me. Of course, there are absolutely things I would change if I could (six new sets per year is way too much, settings can get super cramped in only one set--I have no idea what happened on Kaldheim), but in general, I don't have any strong reactions to what's being put out. I do have a line on what I think is unreasonable, and the game hasn't hit it yet for me.

Nahiri - Equipment goes wide!
2 years ago
Anduril, Flame of the West for some flying tokens and Anduril, Narsil Reforged for some go-wide counters would be nice here.
Mithril Coat and Champion's Helm are good protective equipment.
Kusari-Gama is a pet card of mine that'd be pretty good here... block and lose your board or take a bunch of damage to the face. You're conveniently in Boros, so consider Soltari Guerrillas. It's repeatable removal for creatures and it carries equipment rather well... but when paired with Kusari no one can block ANY of your creatures without losing most of their creatures (if not all).

Bothersome Quasit and Bedlam allow you to goad unimpeded. Bedlam is a bit ballsy and has the potential to backfire but the quasit is worth its weight in gold here.
Vengeful Ancestor is a stud here.
Beloved Chaplain, Soltari Foot Soldier, Soltari Champion, Soltari Visionary, Spirit en-Dal, Spirit Mantle, and Champion of Lambholt will ensure you get through in combat to goad someone.
Authority of the Consuls in addition to Urabrask makes it so every hastey boy isn't sent your way and makes it impossible for your opponents to play fresh ungoaded blockers.
I've also had really good results out of 'deals combat damage to an opponent' effects due to a lack of blockers once a goad chain gets going. Stuff like Aerial Extortionist, Ancient Gold Dragon, and Scepter of Celebration.
A pet card of mine that's hilariously effective here is Kusari-Gama. It'll get your big boys through or wipe their board. Equip it to Soltari Guerrillas to ensure no one can block ANY of your creatures without immediate retaliation.
Anyways, feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Marisi the Pimp - (Combat) Trickin' Hoes

Nice deck. I do have some suggestions for you though.
Loyal Apprentice's hastey flying tokens are great for goading.
Luminous Broodmoth puts in some work here and addresses the decks lack of flyers and being a removal magnet.
Dhalsim, Pliable Pacifist is a weaker Toski variant, but still draws plenty of cards.
Skyhunter Strike Force is a cheap way to get a +3+3 boost for all your attackers on an evasive creature.
Kusari-Gama dares your opponents to block. Pair it with Soltari Guerrillas for extra hilarity.
Urabrask the Hidden provides haste while shutting off your opponent's hasty boys (that always get sent Marisi's direction).
I've also had great results out of effects that need to connect with an opponent like Aerial Extortionist, Ancient Gold Dragon, Scepter of Celebration, and The Reaver Cleaver.

I'm not much of a combo player... so synergy it is!
Soltari Guerrillas + Kusari-Gama says "block ANY of my attackers... I dare ya!"
Archangel of Thune + Authority of the Consuls is a disgusting combination of cards to have out together.

Feather, Jank Redeemed

Hey just stumbled across your deck while I was looking at cards. I was looking at Soltari Guerrillas and wondered how many feather decks were running it, seems like none though. Is it just me that thinks it's funny but good enough to be considered? It can remove a creature every turn if you need it to, or it can just swing in unblocked 99% of the time

I really like Soltari Guerrillas to be able to pick off annoying little creatures that opponents can tap to prevent from having to attack due to goad, Deathrite Shaman , Birds of Paradise , etc.
Maybe Hydra Omnivore ?
Myriad Landscape and/or Blighted Woodland , more ramp but on lands so you don't have to cut any spells.
