Boros aggro deck headed by Aurelia, the Warleader.

Largely used in World War 2, the Blitzkrieg is a type of military strategy designed to create disorganization among the enemy and win the battle quickly. If Magic were to have a form of the blitzkrieg, it would be an aggro deck. Therefore, I designed this boros aggro deck after the infamous blitzkrieg.

Blitzkriegs have four basic steps.

Step 1: Deception
Decieving the enemy is the key to catch them off guard. Haste is vital to accomplish this.
Legion Loyalist
Cerodon Yearling
Ball Lightning
Skyknight Legionnaire
Fervor
Slayers' Stronghold
Hellrider
Hero of Oxid Ridge
Spark Trooper
Thundermaw Hellkite
Waves of Aggression
Conquering Manticore
Aurelia, the Warleader

Step 2: Control the Air
If anyone is going to be in the air, it will be you. Use flying creatures to ensure you are alone in the sky.
Signal Pest
Dragonmaster Outcast
Skyknight Legionnaire
Elspeth, Knight-Errant
Firemane Avenger
Thundermaw Hellkite
Conquering Manticore
Aurelia, the Warleader
Balefire Dragon
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

Step 3: Break Through
There's no point in attacking the enemy to win if you can't break through the front line. Use some evasion techniques and kill spells to help break through.
Legion Loyalist
Soldier of the Pantheon
Aurelia's Fury
Beloved Chaplain
Frontline Medic
Ball Lightning
Spark Trooper
Iroas, God of Victory
Soltari Guerrillas
Shivan Wumpus
Hero of Oxid Ridge
Odric, Master Tactician
Thundermaw Hellkite
Balefire Dragon
Martial Coup

Step 4: Strike Deep
Once you get into the enemy's camp, cause as much damage as possible. Take advantage of your superior numbers with battalion and battle cry while your raw power overwhelms and crushes the enemy into defeat.
Boros Elite
Launch the Fleet
Signal Pest
Accorder Paladin
Akroan Hoplite
Boros Charm
Goblin Wardriver
Legion's Initiative
Sunhome Guildmage
Truefire Paladin
Gideon's Avenger
Warmind Infantry
Gideon, Champion of Justice
Hellrider
Hero of Bladehold
Hero of Oxid Ridge
Iroas, God of Victory
Tajic, Blade of the Legion
Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran
Balefire Liege
Gratuitous Violence
Waves of Aggression
Aurelia, the Warleader
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

Of course, the comparison of Magic and war can only go so far. Therefore, we need some different ways to protect ourselves. To that end, we have:
Dolmen Gate
Frontline Medic
Odric, Master Tactician
Elspeth, Knight-Errant
Iroas, God of Victory

Attacking is supposed to be advantageous to us, but we don't want to be left without any protection. So we need to be vigilant like:
Cerodon Yearling
Always Watching
Hundred-Handed One
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
Ghostly Prison also helps to prevent counterattacks while Rally the Righteous can help you set a trap.

Sometimes our enemy's army gets too large for our liking. At that point, we just need to cut our losses and just wipe everything with:
Wrath of God
Aurelia's Fury
Martial Coup
Brightflame
Day of Judgment
Gideon, Champion of Justice
Balefire Dragon
PS, casting Boros Charm or exiling Legion's Initiative before board wiping is always +1 for style.

However, sometimes the enemy only has one or two pesky creatures you need gone. For that we have:
Path to Exile
Swords to Plowshares
Lightning Bolt
Lightning Helix
Chaos Warp

Also, if you have a card with battle cry or battalion and you attack more than once per turn (eg with Aurelia, the Warleader or Waves of Aggression), those effects stack up. So attacking with Signal Pest, Tajic, Blade of the Legion, and Aurelia, the Warleader will result in Tajic, Blade of the Legion getting +6/+5 and Aurelia, the Warleader getting +1/+0 for the first attack, then both of them get those bonuses again when they attack for the second time, resulting in Tajic, Blade of the Legion getting a total of +12/+10 and Aurelia, the Warleader getting +2/+0.
