2-1-0 at FNM again. Decided to trade away Elspeth, Sun's Champion for a pair of Ajani, Caller of the Pride, drop Aurelia, the Warleader, a couple lands, and 1x Wojek Halberdiers for a couple Skyknight Legionnaire and a couple Viashino Firstblade.

Faster, standard-legal, Boros will try to 3-0-0 at the next FNM. I'll update in a couple weeks, no FNM this friday...

Maybe switch one Tajic, Blade of the Legion for another Aurelia, the Warleader I don't like running too many tajics because of the legend rule and the fact that he is indestructible makes him hard to remove. A second Aurelia would increase chances of seeing her as you wouldn't want to see her every now and then.

Could try Assemble the Legion for increasing tokens.Fiendslayer Paladin is a decent card for the sideboard.The only thing I can think of for grey merchant would be Judge's Familiar as a counter. Other cards don't seem as versatile for all situations. I might just be taking a wild guess with that but I can't really think of stopping the damage before it hits.

Took this deck to Game Day Tournament today. 2-1-0.

The first round was embarrassing: I won't go into it. But it was bad. I will say this: Sometimes the best lessons are the hardest learned.

The second and third rounds were both versus GreenWhite decks and Pacifism was by far the MVP.

After the festivities, I did some trading. Then I made some changes. Until I get my hands on some more Aurelia, the Warleader she's out to make room for cards of which I own multiples.

We'll see how this works out next time.

I would consider several Warleader's Helix for the sideboard. That's your best bet for Gary. Zap him, regain life, keep on fighting. I think having 0 - 2 in the main and a total of 3-4 would give you a fighting chance.

I'd also consider side-boarding 1 Assemble the Legion for the long game. Either that, or replace 1 Tajic with him.

Do you think Eslpeth has a place in your deck? She's fantastic late game and combos very well is battalion effects.

+1, love the originality in this deck.

SSJRanulf, Good suggestions. Warleader's Helix is going mainboard, for now. I only have one Elspeth, Sun's Champion , but I think if the game goes long, she has a chance to topdeck. I don't have any Assemble the Legion yet, but perhaps I can trade for some at FNM.

Also, I made a few other changes. I'm not happy with the amount/type of dual lands and am keeping my eyes open for a few more scrylands and if I get lucky, some shocklands also.
