Pretty solid. I'd drop about 8 bodies for draw spells tho.

Greater Good, Life's Legacy and Momentous Fall. They're gonna draw you a ton of cards and you'll be able to recast Ghalta cheap after fairly often.

Easy enough to replace Shamanic Rev with something like Garruk Primal Hunter and Mouth//Feed with another draw dude.

Primal Surge would just win the game here

Blood of the Martry, Shining Shoal and Harm's Way are nice instant speed tricks to drop when someone blocks one of your dudes.

Problem with Rafiq (such as it is) is that he's so goddamn strong he makes the entire deck revolve around Rafiq, plus he generates so much hate.

Hardened Scales would be gross here.

Dark Petition is almost always gonna be better than Beseech, unless you're talking some kind of cEDH deck where you need to Dark Ritual-->Beseech for some turn 3 combo win.

Skullclamp for all those tokens?

Sudden Spoiling is a great card period, but here it makes it so much easier to kill guys.

Outpost Siege is the closest Boros has to Phyrexian Arena

Two copies of Tainted Wood now.

Go for the Throat won't hit Bosh, Breya, Hope of Ghirapur, Karn, Memnarch, Reaper King, Sen Triplets, Sharuum and Silan Ren, so 8 commanders. Vs. probably 10,000 creatures that Hero's Demise won't hit. There's a reason Hero's Demise is in 302 decks on EDHREC and Go for the Throat is in 5316.

I still think 34 is super lean for lands. I'm at 37 in Glissa, and my avg CMC is lower than yours, and that's with Decree of Pain in my deck throwing the average out of whack. You're really not running many mana rocks, though, probably less than the average for a well-built deck. Plus mana rocks don't do much good if you have to mull three times to get enough land in your starting hand. Still, if it works for you so be it.

Glissa isn't the only deathtouch creature you have, and sometimes you just wind up using a 5/5 to kill a 4/4. But even if you lose Glissa to take out that combo piece it's often times worth it, or just to swap generals. Plus Glissa is so cheap it's often times worth trading. I'd totally trade my 3 drop Glissa for a 6 drop Niv Mizzet or something, particularly when I get the removal spell back.

You have two copies of Hero's Demise (which is probably two too many) given that you could run Go for the Throat there.

Vault of Whispers gives you a third artifact land. You're probably light on lands anyway. That and Inventors' Fair would give you 35, which is still lean but better than 33. Personally I'd add Urborg Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cabal Coffers to get to 37.

If you're running all three lands you could run Prototype Portal, because ramping a Darksteel Citadel token every turn for zero mana feels good.

Triangle of War winds up being another Executioner's Capsule w Glissa out.

Get thee a Righteous War. Because making Kaalia immune to 95% of the targeted removal in the format is good, son.

You're missing a lot of decent dudes that work with landfall or decks with a lot of lands in play in favor of super boring generically "good" staples. Synergy > being on the edhrec most frequently played list. Rubblehult just kills people for example.

Greater Good (and to a lesser extent Life's Legacy and Momentous Fall) are gross in landfall. I've frequently sacced Rampaging Baloths or Ulvenwald Hydra to draw a twenty or something stupid in response to a board wipe or Swords to Plowshares. Feels good.

Go for the Throat is probably slightly better than Doom Blade at that CMC. Terminate also works there though it is slightly harder to cast. I'd probably be willing to pay one more for Hero's Downfall though to have the option to kill walkers.

The problem with Kemba is if you go too voltron-y she becomes super hard to suit up after she dies. So you spend a turn casting, the next turn putting swords on, THEN you make tokens. Three turns is a lot to get what you want done. IMO for Kemba your best bet is to run as much zero equip stuff as you can. You don't care if it's good, you wanna just suit up Kemba each time for zero mana and poop out tokens.

If you want to equip strong stuff Sram is probably your guy though you want Kemba in the deck, and Sram in your Kemba deck for sure.

What are you looking to do with Kemba more, make tokens or put badass swords on her?

Actual conversation at my game store after a new player with a Baral deck got 3v1'ed into oblivion like four games in a row:

Baral pilot: Why does everyone just keep focusing me when there are bigger threats in play?

Other dude: Because you're running a 30 counter spell deck and it's super annoying, and I'd rather lose an interesting game than win an annoying one.

Baral pilot: But counterspells are part of the game.

Other dude: Gas is part of digestion, but that doesn't mean I want to be stuck on an elevator with a guy who won't stop farting.

Well, 27 dudes is probably a few too many for a deck that isn't cheating stuff out or reanimating them so you could cut a little fat there.

I'm not a huge fan of Silence in multi-player. There's absolutely times where it's down to 1v1 and you can kinda use it for a Time Walk, but it's dead in hand far too often too.

I'd run Darksteel Mutation over Suspension Field if you can find one. No limit on what you can hit, and pinning down someone's general with no abilities can be back-breaking sometimes. Yeah you give them a blocker but it won't block Avacyn.

Pulse of the Fields isn't good in EDH unless there's some life-gain triggers, and even then I doubt it. If Oloro doesn't want it I can't imagine many decks do.

IMO the life gain on Divine Offering is meaningless. I'd much rather have the ability to hit an enchantment with Disenchant than gain a few life. Return to Dust is great too since it can hit two, and it exiles. Revoke Existence and/or Fate Forgotten are also options. You want stuff that gives you options and can be useful in as many situations as possible.

Not of this World should be here to protect Avacyn. Free counter to save her from every Swords or Path or Pacifism shot her way is good value.

32 lands is super lean even in a mono deck, particularly one with so few rocks.

Ponder not Brainstorm? Nothing wrong with Ponder of course, but I can't imagine running it over Brainstorm.
