Deck Description

Just a budget Boros Aggro deck I put together from unused cards (hence no Searing Spears and only 3 Firemane Avengers, 1 Sacred Foundry, etc.). It actually works pretty well if everything falls into place. I wanted to maximize the Battalion effect on the all-important Turn 3, thus the pair of Fervent Cathars, giving me an almost-guaranteed haste creature and three attackers.

I was at first skeptical of the Sunhome Guildmages, but they serve as increasing the chance of hitting your Turn 2 creature or as a late-game pump for your attackers. The guildmage can then, in a way, work as five-drop creature; tap two lands to play him then the remaining three for the +1/+0 effect.

If anyone is wondering why, seeing as this is a budget deck, I didn't include any Boros Guildgates, it is because I did not want to slow the attack by playing tapped lands, even for mana fixing. And without a playset of Foundry, I do have mana problems, especially on the draw. But like I said, when things fall in place, this is a fun deck to play.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

Deck discussion for Boros Aggro (Budget)

Looks like fun. My only thought for change would be oblivion ring instead of pacifism, but that does depend on your meta game.
