Deck Description

Its a burn deck with Spark trooper as a finisher or gamechanging card.
He along with silverblade/charm would do an amazing dmg and life gain.

My sideboard its just options I have in mind, Dryad I would swap with Champion,firemane for spark trooper and Medic for Reckoner. If you guys have some idea about it, please comment ;D

How to Play

One drops- Vexing, Parish and pillar of flame
2 drops - ash zealot,townsfolk,charm,searing spear
3 drops-reckoner/medic,silverblade,oblivion ring
4-spark trooper/firemane (try to combine it with silverblade or boros charm)

Deck discussion for Boros Burn

I would add 4x Champion of the parish in place of the dryad militants (sideboard), and Boros Reckoner is a mainboard in ALL Boros decks. Also, maybe add 2 or 3 Cavern of Souls. Also, try using the nearheath pilgrim (soulbound with boros reckoner and either attacking with Frontline Medic or boros charm (indestructible) can give you the infinite life combo).

I'm gonna put champion, but idk if he will become big enough..
And I really wnated reckoner on the mainboard, but what should I drop?

I second Boros Reckoner. It's a good defense as well as a good way to burn your own creatures for damage.

Well, the only card I can think about trading place with boros reckoner is frontline medic, but...Is he really necessary?

Well Frontline Medic's second ability is really conditional. Maybe Sideboard Frontline Medic and put in Boros Reckoner?

Infinity life combo:
1) have the boros reckoner gain lifelink
2) have him take damage somehow (lets say 3 damage, enough to kill him)
3) before the damage resolves, make him indestructible
4) His ability activates, deals 3 damage to himself and because of lifelink, you gain 3 lifes
5) since a source dealt him damage (the source being himself), his ability activates again
6) rinse and repeat

OKay, now I get it, but is it possible to do it? Target himself over and over?
And this ability will only give me life?
Can't I target my opponent at some time?
Like:
Reckoner gets hit(while he is indestructible and have lifelink), then he hits himself 1time,2times,3times,4times,5times(then I would have a good amount of life) and in the 6th time I would hit/target someone can I target the opponent?

you can always end the process by targeting anything else.
but why stop at the 6th trigger? the process can be triggered infinite times

I would swap Vexing Devil for Boros Elite. Devil is nice, but late game it will rarely do what you want it to.

Its good for dealing 4 dmg as well as it is good to have and 4/3 for 1 mana...

Thanks for the comment. I like your build except for the spark troopers which I find kinda expensive and unpredictable. However I really like the four devils. I run four in my "War is He'll" deck, which is my favorite deck right now. I'm also a big fan of silver blade pal but don't own any:( I'm kinda confused with your sideboard.... Is it for a mirror match? Also why just one pilgrim? It's a huge combo and combined with other typical side board cards like "elixir or immortality" can make you nearly impossible to kill in a standard tourney. Also twenty lands is pretty low and could keep you from making your fourth and critical land drop. Thanks and good luck

Oh..my sideboard was just some ideas I had to swap creatures haha, I didnt make a decent sideboard here yet ;/
About the troopers, man..they are like..the main card here, my goal its to cast them and soulbond with silverblade...just imagine the dmg it will do dude ;D
6/1 with double strike, so its a 12 dmg for my oponent and 12 life for me ;D
Thanks about the mana advice, I'm gonna probably try to add some more , what do you suggest me to put in my REAL sideboard? And what should I drop to add more lands?

I added Firemane avenger one the sideboard, so, as u said, if I'm playing with someone that has burn spells to deal with trooper I'll have a second card to trade with trooper,which is firemane ;D

I like this build better than before. In your real sideboard the Elixir of Immortality is great against agro and mill. I love nearheath pilgrim because it freaks out other players into thinking your going for the combo (and you should). I'm also into Paraselence for enchantment destruction (though i dropped it in my own deck because now I run madcap skills). Another underrated card is Glaring Spotlight, which I think is a great card in light that BUG and other hexproof/bloodrush decks are coming into vouge. Goodluck!!

The pilgrim bonded to an indestructible Boros reckoner plus damage to reckoner. The reckoner targets himself over and over till you gain a large finite amount of life. The damage is often times provided by other creatures you control like "bomber corp" or through an instant like "searing spear". Infinite combos are illegal so I misspoke when I said "infinite". It can be responded to each time you stack damage.

Hmm, is it possible to him to target himself over and over again and then target the player? Seriously...I cant understand this combo ;/

Nope. You would need to be doubling the damage to do something like that. Furnace of wrath is the enchantment of choice. The reckoner is only doing two damage to himself, over and over, but he gains u two life each time.

If its a problem with money, I have some sound advice Aliski... go to old folks homes and get paid to help old people escape. Turns out they all hate being there and will pay you money to get them out and take them to Denny's. I made several thousand dollars during the last election year... but don't tell the IRS (I got paid in Denny's merchandice and two dollar bills).
