Standard* Aggro RW (Boros)

Sideboard


Inspired by Craig Wescoe's list. My take on Boros aggro for Gatecrash.

Stromkirk Noble obviously is still a strong fit for any decks running a red aggro strategy, and with the emergence of more human based decks, I suspect he'll be able to hit unblocked more often than before.

Boros Elite is kind of just filler for now to ensure I get my first turn drop every game. I have a feeling it's slot will be taken pretty soon.

Lightning Mauler bonded with anything in my 3 or 4 slots will be awesome. I am considering Silverblade Paladin, but for now I'm just messing with the build until I can find spots for him.

Boros Charm is an obvious include. Probably the best charm released yet.

Frontline Medic lets me swing into my opponent recklessly and keeps me from having to worry about x spells in the early game.

Silverblade Paladin with Lightning Mauler or Hellrider is pure punishment.

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is super against control and really anyone that plays really important no creature spells. In conjuction with Frontline Medic, x spells get the shit end of the stick.

Hellrider... Well duh.

Searing Spear is my go to burn/removal.

Tell me what you guys think. Plus ones and suggestions are much appreciated!

The verdict is in and Ash Zealot has made the cut. The following edits have taken place:

-2 Boros Elite
-4 Stromkirk Noble (relegated to SB for Humans and the mirror)
-1 Frontline Medic
for
+2 Legion Loyalist
+4 Ash Zealot
+1 Zealous Conscripts

The current build gives me a lot of great curve options.
Champion, Zealot, Paladin, Hellrider
Champion, Mauler, Paladin, Hellrider
Champion, Thalia, Paladin, Hellrider
Loyalist, Zealot, Paladin, Hellrider
Loyalist, Thalia, Paladin, Hellrider
Loyalist, Mauler, Paladin, Hellrider

All in all, I think I'm pretty happy with it. The new edits are giving a lot of damage potential by turn 4.
