Deck Description

Woe to the person that messes with the Boros Legion.
We are Boros. We strike harder than a Titan and faster than an Instant. (Ha!)

This is the deck I took to FNM last week and placed 3rd. Overall a great deck and not really looking for improvements but trying to find out if there are any changes that I could make.

GateCrash changes:

So far, I know that I'll be adding in some Boros Elites, and at least two Sunhome Guildmages. As the deck is currently designed to be quick, brutal damage, so I don't think that Gisela or Aurelia will be able to make it to the field. The Firemane Avenger and Skyknight Legionnaire will defiantly find a home here.

Also thinking of adding in some Skullcracks, if only to prevent some Bant life gain through Sphinx's Revelation.

I'm still waiting on other cards to come out. Please help if you can see something that I can improve on.

How to Play

Boros Bomb is a typical aggro deck. Play creature during the second main phase unless they have haste. I try to save an unsoulbound Lightning Mauler so that turn 4 I can swing with a hasted Sublime Archangel or Odric for a near kill. The Werewolves were thrown in lately to give a little bit of fun for the field, and to put my opponents on guard for spell casting. They will be switched around for Gatecrash cards (Boros Charms, Firemane Avengers, Boros Elite, Sunhome Guildmage)

Side board breakdown:
Graffdigger's Cage: Anti zombies. Stay dead you f***ers!
War Priest of Thune: Enchantment hate. Also another human enters the field.
Knight of Glory: Anti-black. Minor damage boost with the exalted.
Riders of Gavany: Anti- Tribal. Straight to the point.
Nevermore: I hate you Thragtusk, this is for you!
Faith's Reward: Anti sweeper. Got to love it all coming back the turn they thought they had won. Mainly sided in for Bant decks and some mono blacks.

Deck discussion for Boros Bomb (Pre-Gatecrash)

Since this deck is mostly human, Angel of Glory's Rise would be epic if the game lasted too long. Especially if you happened to be playing against a zombie deck.

I agree. Angel of lory's Rise is nice with the mainly human aspect, but the problem is that if this deck is playing till turn 8, then something is wrong. With the deck's current construction lethal damage should be reachable by turn 5 or 6 at most.

I wouldn't bother with Odric in this deck, I'd have 4 Sublime Angel's instead. I also like to have plenty of 1 drops when running white weenie but other than that great deck!
