Deck Description

I want to make a token deck for post rotation, problem is my funds are a little low at the moment.

I already own 2 Odric's and 3 Clifftop Retreat. Getting Hellrider's from a friend. So the "budget" part of this deck is how much the rest is going to cost me :p

Sideboard is a bit iffy as I'm not sure what Standard's meta is going to be like post rotation :|

Deck discussion for Post rotation budget boros tokens?

20 lands the decks CMC is low enough for 20 lands to work, next, u should take out rally the peasants in exchange for 4 thatcher revolts,if u have intangible virtue out, all of you humans will be 2/2's which could mean u could strike for 6, instead of searing spear i would suggest 3 brimstone volleys. 4 ghost quarter to deal with opponents wolf-runs or other dual lands. All of the cards suggested here are innexpensive.

Thank you for your suggestions, but I have reasons for what I've done.
I used to play 20 lands a LOT with my other decks and found I was short 1 mana too often for my liking, so I tried 22 and it seems to be helping with that problem (it just works for me).
A lot of people suggest dropping Rally, but I want to see how it runs before dropping it. I had considered Thatcher Revolt, but settled on Midnight Haunting because it produces fliers at instant speed and they don't kill themselves.
Spear is 3 damage guaranteed at 2 mana, Volly requires a death for 5 and that death would normally be my creature (that I don't want to happen) and I don't have complete control over that in this deck.
I don't see Wolf-Run being a viable deck post rotation as they lose key cards (Solemn, Titan, etc).

I like this deck a lot. A friend of mine plays a B/W token deck, and he loves it. I've tried it out and I have to say, spamming an average of 3-6 creatures buffed with Virtue and Honor? That's really not bad. The black that he played was only for removal and flashing back Lingering Souls.

If you have a chance, check out my Boros Humans? I want to make the deck a little faster/more versatile. . . And I'm a little clueless on how I'll be changing it post-rotation...

The BW and BWG token decks that I've faced off against have been some of my toughest match ups (note to self, kill Sorin, Lord of Innistrad asap).

Rotation always shakes things up and more often than not, I'm glad to see certain decks lose their key / good cards. So it's almost impossible to know what to change post rotation, all I can suggest is to watch what your group plays and adapt to that.
