Auras that arrest, draw, and fire-breath, and they all come back with Tiana! The idea of this deck is something akin to the idea of an Arcades or Edric deck: have an aggro theme, and a draw theme that doesn't take slots away from the aggro theme.

Notable Inclusions

Bludgeon Brawl : This works well with artifacts that sacrifice to draw ( Commander's Sphere ) because Tiana will see an "equipment" leave, and bring it back to our hand. Hammer of Nazahn / Sigarda's Aid / Valduk, Keeper of the Flame or Heavenly Blademaster + Smothering Tithe are good synergies too.

Notable Exclusions

Chosen by Heliod and Ritual of Steel : I included every aura that draw cards; in fact, the entire deck is made to make the point that a Boros deck can have have a reliable draw theme, while not taking away from the aggro themes. So reason why these two auras aren't included is because they don't add to the aggro/arrest themes; they don't add keywords like haste, add power to each attack, or shut off a commander/combo. Ritual is a delayed, three mana cantrip. That's not draw, it's just sadness.

Lich's Tomb : This is a rather terrible card, but I think this deck is one of the few decks that can properly run it. This deck's ideal position is to be able to recycle auras as much as possible, drawing and producing beat sticks in the process. So this card is essentially a sacrifice engine that can enable the enchantress shenanigans. Bonus points if you also put in Pariah or Saving Grace (both not included).
