Deck discussion for R/W Standard

it could definately be better. u should drop 1 aurelia and 1 firemane avenger and add a 4th ash zealot and a 4th legionnaire. also i would drop 1 spark trooper for a 4th halberdiers, and drop 1 charm and both copies of mugging in favor of searing spear. things would run a lot better and u would kill faster which is what u need most when running boros. when boros is dragged out to beyond 5-6 turns it usually cant finish off the opponent because of cards like thragtusk or sphinx's revelation.

I agree with DJ and would further add that the deck is missing the hallmark of a boros deck (or zoo deck in general) which is one drop creature beats. Your running wayyy to many big creatures and do not have the resources (from what i've seen from sample hands) to protect yourself from early game beats. This has further implications because your counting on the avenger to have battalion when it attacks. Alternatively, Spark trooper rarely survives the combat phase because of instant removal or more commonly a first strike creature (or madcap skills); so Your best case senario for the troopers involves you casting nothing on turn three so that you can furry at the end of the opponets turn (or getting lucky and finding nothing but x/2 creatures field). Alternatively, the angle will not have haste on turn four (which could be remedied with lightning maulers) therefore you have to wait till turn five before your even able to come up with a battalion attack that really stings. Long story short, your spells are too expensive. Perhaps if you main deck blind obedience (i'd get two more if possible) this deck might be able to do what you want it to do. Good luck!!

This standard doesn't have enough lightning bolt :( So while we wait for Lightning Bolt, where is Skullcrack as at least 2 of in the deck over Searing Spear, also Spark Trooper does nothing here at all, Zealous Conscripts however is a card, also putting more 1/2 mana cards in play (Boros Elite, Daring Skyjek, and if you go human route, Champion of the Parish) is needed to survive the early game against Azorious Aggro, Jund Aggro, B/R Zombies, etc. As DJ said Thragtusk and Sphinx's Revelation are cards so strongly consider the Skullcrack, it wont stop Tusk or Revelation from being played but it counters the desirable effects of these cards (life gain). Also, Nearheath Pilgrim paired with Boros Reckoner and Boros Charm, is an infinite life combo.
