Deck Description

I consider this a pretty general Boros deck with some inspiration. I took all of the Battalion effects that I find most effective or at least cost effective (Boros Elite) and threw them in. I was lucky enough to happen upon two Aurelia's, and I almost have a play set of Frontline Medics! I am looking to switch out for 1 more Boros Charm, a Martial Glory, a Frontline Medic, 1 Sunhome Guildmage, and 1 more Madcap Skills.

How to Play

I'm in love with the feel of Boros and it's so very, "me" This deck is as you would think a Boros deck should be. In order to play it right, you need to get an army out fast and begin to Battalion which is oh-so-fun.

Bomber Corps is a wonderful cost for what you get. You get a 1/2 for 1R that deals 1 damage to creature or player upon ATTACK! Love it, it can either get little pingers out of the way, help kill a bigger creature or damage a player for 1.

Firefist Striker is also wonderful for it's cost and I love to decide when a creature can't block!

Daring Skyjek is nice and at first I realllllly loved him because I find flying to be so powerful but I've learned. Flying is good, but not the be-all-end-all and this card comes up pretty good on its vanilla test.

Frontline Medic is one of my favorite cards right now and it should be pretty obvious why, every time you Battalion with him, your creatures will come out unscathed! It's extra ability is a bit random and I haven't used it yet but I can see it coming in handy. It also passes the vanilla test wonderfully.

Sunhome Guildmage is nice for when you have a wonderful battalion and have the mana to spend on it's +1/+0 ability for all of your creatures.

I love giving my creatures Madcap Skills, this card comes in handy SO much! <3

I am talking way too much, My last 4 faves in this deck are Aurelia, ODric, Skirmisher, and Firemane Avenger, all for obvious reasons.

Please, let me know what you think!

Deck discussion for Boros Battalion

Looks like a fun casual deck! =)
I would drop the Smites and add some more burn to kill opponents blockers. And maybe add some hasty dudes (Ash Zealot, Lightning Mauler etc. ) so you can activate the batalion earlier.

Gonna OWN at the next friday night magic with this bad boy!

You should replace vigilance with bonds of faith. And the bomber corps aren't really worth it. Chuck in fencing ace instead as you're running martial glory and madcap (+bonds!). He becomes a really nice hitter for you.

Nice Boros deck, very similar to mine!!! I love boros and all my friends hate playing me cause if I draw the right cards I win on turn four sometimes. I would get more haste creatures like running a full set of skynight legionaire's to prock the battallion instantly as you get 3 creatures, I agree with adding removal as well, like low costs such as searing speares or even running homing lightning so you can deal more damage to them.
