A very straightforward enchantment deck. Basically, in trying to cycle-proof my old Armor of Faith deck, I ran into the problem of keeping the edge on my opponent now that my most powerful control elements weren't available to me anymore. Chained to the Rocks lit the spark of the idea to add Red, but it wasn't until I went against a friend's Rakdos Cackler deck that I realized the speed and power of Red was what I needed.The basic idea remains the same as in the old deck, except now there is a lot of punch thrown in. Fiendslayer Paladin is the flag carrier of this deck, as he was in the last one, but with the other creatures each being 2/2 Vigilant, as long as I can get them in my opening hand and not get flooded with enchantments, I can get the ball rolling with +3/0 first strike or +3/0 early game unblockability, then continue to stack on +3/0 until my opponent runs out of creatures to throw in the way. Ideally, I'd have a Gift of Orzhova on out by this time to give whatever's getting buffed wings.

At this point, I;m not sure how to finish the deck. The vulnerability to removal and control makes me want to splash green and add Alpha Authority for hexproof, but that point, why not start from scatch again and go Naya, adding Gladecover Scout? If I stick with Boros, I figured I would throw in Messenger's Speed for trample to start doing as much damage as possible right from the get-go, but at only twelve creatures, I really feel that I could shave off a couple enchantments for Fabled Hero, who could be a huge addition to the deck.
