R/W Midrange???

Standard forum

Do you think a R/W midrange deck could work in standard? With cards like Soldier of the Pantheon , Boros Reckoner , Iroas, God of Victory , and Aurelia, the Warleader ??? I would love to make a competitive R/W deck with the featured cards. I would imagine Stormbreath Dragon and Brimaz, King of Oreskos would probably do well in a deck like this? What do you guys think???

In Boros, blitz style decks beat midrange every single time. Speed is the major strength of Boros. If you really want midrange, try tribal minotaurs. I just built this deck:

The Reckoning

Switch Lightning Strike or Magma Jet in place of Lightning Bolt , and it's Standard legal.

i made one including Felhide Spiritbinder and Firemane Avenger you opponent is confident you dont have 3 creatures to trigger Firemane Avenger but then you cast Twinflame, and is amazing how 2 Firemane Avenger triggering at the same time can turn the balance to your favor i really recommend this...

Any deck that includes Aurelia, the Warleader is basically broken as is. That said, if you're going for a midrange strategy, you can pretty much cut out the bottom of the creature curve prior to 3-drops unless you're splashing Green for mana dorks. Cheap burn, Chained to the Rocks , etc. is your early game.
