Deck Description

What do you guys think? this is a little boros deck I have put together and I want to know how you think it would do at local FNM tournaments. Rate 1-10 or however you choose, and any helpful comments would be appreciated.

Also if you want to put what types of decks it should do good/bad against that would be great too. would it die against a Jund deck while doing moderately good against a control or whatever?

Deck discussion for Boros for FNM? (Rate 1-10)

odric cost to much for what he does, seeing as you're not gonna be heavy when it comes to creatures. And Boris elite is nice but how often will you be able to get the battalion to trigger off, I just can't see it. I built my friends Boros deck and went a different direction this, I can see you're trying to to make tokens and what not, but after seeing what kinda decks are out there, I don't see you placing very high with this.

But will rate it 5/10

It'll fail miserably against control, and an aggro deck built right will run faster than you can respond, wish your deck luck

If you want constructive criticism I will gladly give it.

Boros-Two Different Main Objections
Path 1-Tokens & Battalion
Path 2-Aggro & Burn (Some Battalion)

I'd rate your deck at about a 5/10 as it stands now.

First decide which to go, here I seen you went for the token build. The thing to know about FNM anymore is that it is...ALL AGGRO>.<
So a token build probably won't have enough UMPH to keep up. On the other hand a decent amount of swaps and you can make a decent competitive Aggro Deck which may do all right at FNM. Lastly I see Boros, so I'm assuming you want strictly Red/White, there are current around 500+ cards that fit in the R/W/RW Standard format.

Here's what I would do for Boros Aggro:

Land
4x Sacred Foundry
4x Clifftop Retreat
4/5x Plains
4/5x Mountain
2x Slayer's Stronghold

Creatures:
4x Boros Reckoner
4x Legion Loyalist
3/4x Firemane Avenger
4x Hellriders
4x Hellraiser Goblins
1/2x Aurelia, the Warleader
3/4x Frontline Medics
21/24 Creatures

Spells and Such:
2x Blind Obedience
2/3x Dynacharge
2/3x Massive Raid
4x Boros Charm
4x Skullcrack
14/16 Spells

Possible Extras:
4x Fencing Ace
4x Odric, the Tactician
4x Truefire Paladin
4x Searing Spear
4x Mizzium Mortars
4x Smite

i give it a 3... however u have what u need to make it better. first of all, odric is good, but firemane avenger is better every day of the week. aggro is starting to go downhill fast. at the same time, control and midrange decks are getting better and better. the reason its so hard for aggro to beat midrange and control is because midrange and control try very hard to make the game go on for a long time. with the way aggro is right now, u start to run out of gas around turn 4-5 which is when midrange/control starts to stabilize and gain heavy card advantage. at that point if ur playing aggro, ur screwed. chump blockers is an important part of midrange and control decks which is y firemane avenger is a better pick than odric. it gets in damage through the air, does 3 additional damage to another creature or player, and gains u 3 life. u might be thinking if chump blockers are important, then odric would be the better pick. NO. odric only pushes damage through if his effect triggers which is like battalion except u need 3. avenger is flying so its going to get in for at least 3 damage (most of the time unblockable). the point is that your opponent is either going to target odric directly, or cast a supreme verdict before he can trigger. thus, the angel is the better pick. to truly make this deck better, u should drop the enchantments, the rally the peasants, and 2 blasphemous acts. replace those with 4 searing spears and 3 pillars of flame. next get ash zealot, legion loyalist, and hellrider up to 4. also, lightning mauler is also useful. the biggest thing u have to worry about tho is the land. u need to try to get 4 sacred foundries and 4 clifftop retreats. the deck should be better then. the last thing is that u should try to get an aurelia or 2 for sideboard against those control and midrange matches. it can help u close out the game late.
