I was given this deck long ago and have recently made it my pet project. The idea of the deck is to be an aggro'ish beatdown deck with some combos for sneaky alternate wins. Skip to the bottom to see the combos. The 'Maybe' board consists of combo cards that I'm uncertain if I should make room for or not.

Now.. Onto the deck itself. As mentioned before, the deck's primary plan is beat down. Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Hero of Bladehold , Goblin Assualt, and Assemble the Legion are the deck's main token generators. The deck can consistently get a respectable board-state just with these. However, due to the nature of Boros, boardwipes can be crippling. To combat this, the deck includes Ghostway + Sunforger and Legion's Initiative .

A main portion of the beater force is Angel's, consisting of Akroma, Angel of Wrath (who I may replace with Linvala, Keeper of Silence, would like some thoughts on that), Aurelia, the Warleader who plays nicely with Angelic Skirmisher, Baneslayer Angel, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Herald of War and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight. The non-Angel beaters include serra ascendent , Iroas, God of Victory, Malignus, Tajic, Blade of the Legion , Heliod, God of the Sun.

Nahiri, the Harbinger plays a special role of being able to tutor up some creature combo pieces Sun Titan, Restoration Angel, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Zealous Conscripts. Also, she can tutor up some of our utility / heavy hitters, such as Dragon Tyrant , Malignus, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Dragon Mage, Heartless Hidetsugu , (hopefully a Wurmcoil Engine soon). I would be open to some more tutorable artifacts/creatures that may bolster the deck and increase it's potency.

Reforge the Soul, Land Tax + Scroll Rack , and Staff of Nin are deck's main (really only) ways to generate card draw other than Nahiri. Oblivion Ring, Fiend Hunter, Stasis Snare , Pacifism, Intrepid Hero , Sunblast Angel (extremely under performing), somewhat Boros Reckoner, Aurelia's Fury , Lightning Helix, Boros Charm, and Swords to Plowshares compose the deck's removal suite. I am looking to include a Path to Exile somewhere, as well.

I'm also looking for some feedback on what sac outlets to include in the deck.

On the fun part.. C-C-C-COMBOS!!

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts = Infinite Hasty Creatures

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Restoration Angel = Infinite Hasty Creatures

Fiend Hunter + Goblin Bombardment + Sun Titan = Infinite Damage

Aurelia, the Warleader + Sun Titan + Oblivion Ring+ Sac outlet = Infinite Attacks

Aggravated Assault + Sword of Feast and Famine + any creature = Infinite combat phases

Aurelia, the Warleader + Adarkar Valkyrie + sac outlet = Infinite Attacks

Aggravated Assault + Hellkite Charger = Infinite combat phases

Fiend Hunter + Sun Titan + Sac Outlet = Infinite Sacs

Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + Heartless Hidetsugu = All opponents life at either 1 or 0.

Potential Combos:

Adarkar Valkyrie + Thornbite Staff + another creature/sac outlet = Infinite sacs

Pariah + Stuffy Doll = Opponents' attacks damage themselves

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Thornbite Staff + sac outlet = Infinite sacs

Goblin Sharpshooter + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Thornbite Staff = Infinite Damage

Thanks for looking!
