Well after so faithfully piloting my Boros Humans throughout Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash has not disappointed when delivering Boros. Below is a list of cards added/removed post Gatecrash and why.
Please provide any recommendations you have to improve the deck and +1 if you like!
While most of the Battalion cards are rather lackluster,
Firemane Avenger
, is the main finisher of the deck. Hellrider could be considered better, but I am partial to the Angel at the moment. Replaced Riders of Gavony
Combat Medic
really doesn't need an introduction, hates out Sphinx's Revelation,
Clan Defiance
and Aurelia's Fury in the mirror. Replaced
Kessig Malcontents
Sacred Foundry finally allows Champion and Zealot in the same deck!
Boros Charm instant 4'of, best charm hands down. Replaced
Pillar of Flame
Aurelia's Fury I love everything about this card. EXACTLY what boros aggro needed. Replaced 2x Mizzium Mortars
Truefire Paladin
I like this card, alot of possibilities, but if there was something I would take out, he would probably be the first to go. Replaced Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Reckless Waif
replaced
Stonewright
tentatively as lately his firebreathing has been rather useless except in very select cases.
Restoration Angel
is in the sideboard at the moment but I would be open to moving her to the main if a good case was made as to why.
MAYBEBOARD
Boros Elite
I want to like this card... but i cant, just an inferior Champ any way you look at it, maybe after innistrad rotation.
Burning-Tree Emissary: These would allow for some REALLY explosive plays, and I would love to put her in the deck but I feel she is better off in Naya Humans. Id love to be proven wrong though!
Skyknight Legionnaire another great card, and a throwback at that... but being in the 3 slot, Silverblade and Medic kinda push her to the side.
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, another great human, but with 10 instant/sorc/enchantment, I am hesitant to run her
Firefist Striker
I am considering swapping him in for
Truefire Paladin
thoughts?
