Deck Description

my version of boros aggro, prefer it to most of the other versions, as this one is a bit more solid, I feel. Great deck, have won a couple of tournaments with it, cool deck. It is expensive, but I think that if your playing competitive this is the way to go.

How to Play

I play this deck aggressively but not too much so. All my spells are used to kill my opponents creatures, and let my creatures through for the kill. the flyers are usually able to kill my opponent early on, and are usually quite resilient either with high toughness or with the ability to come back from the grave. Rekindling phoenix is the hard hitter, while sharlai and Aurelia are used to protect and boost my creatures as well as to hit in for damage. The other smaller creatures are there to provide a tight defence, and some early threats and damage, until the heavy guns are wheeled out. Path of mettle is our big removal engine or damage dealer, and history of Benalia is there to give me two creatures and a massive attack. Our sideboard is there to make the deck more aggressive, using lightning strike and chance for glory as massive damage pumps, and swiftblade vindicator to close out games quicker. Deafening Clarion can either give us a nice sweeper or in late game kill all the masses and hit in with our massive flyers to gain 8 or 9 life.

Your a bit overloaded at 2 cmc. I especially don't like all your removal at 2. Is justice strike consistent for you? Maybe consider Integrity//Intervention? The +2/+2 is actually quite relevant for a mentor deck. Often enables and extra mentor trigger. Plus intervention really ins't that bad oddly enough. Good versatility.

Path of mettle is amazing. I'll build around it one of these days.

I would recommend Healer's hawk over torch courier. I know it doesn't enable Path of mettle. But healer's hawk is an all star in mentor decks. Maybe it's not competitive. But neither is torch Courier. But I know why you run it. Tough call. I can see it either way.

I also don't particularly like Shalai here. You cant use it's activated ability. It's static ability is very situational. It feel a little too french vanilla for this deck.

cool, I will change it, a question tho, how would legions landing go in this deck as a one drop? I have viewed another boros deck and legions landing was a four of in it. However, I am not entirely convinced. What do u think? Also, any comments on the sideboard?
