Thanks for the suggestions! I was not aware of these Khans of Tarkir cards. I will probably add many of them in.

Hold at Bay is pretty bad. You'd be better off using more Deflecting Palm . Trumpet Blast is a card that can allow you to beef all of your guys. I don't quite understand why your artifacts are in here. You should just increase your creature count instead. You may want to consider Magma Jet for filtering.

Akroan Hoplite would go with almost anything R/W budget (almost any agro R/W period at that).

Ainok Bond-Kin is a bad card in this deck.
One bad motherfucker I just found out about is Vanguard of Brimaz .
They are mini-Brimaz that can pump out tokens and have a pretty decent cost/benefit.
If you cant have Brimaz himself, you might as well have his cousin.

jsansoldo why do you think Ainok Bond-Kin is a bad card in this deck? It has a good combo with Phalanx Leader . I definitely will look into Vanguard of Brimaz because of how expensive Brimaz himself is.

Because he alone wont do you any good. Cards that depend on each other to be good are bad cards in a aggro deck. Thats why Heroic waa barely used on standard. You need the creatures and the spells, and as the game goes on, you cant guarantee you'll have both.
But Heroic cards need only one spell to work. Ainok need 2 cards to work properly, and thats too much. If you draw them latergame in the game, without the combo piece, they are dead drops.
If you want first strike, for one extra mana we have Archetype of Courage , a card thats good on her own.
October 9, 2014 7:40 a.m.
Ok. Should I swap them out for Archetype of Courage or Vanguard of Brimaz ?

I would take out Magma Jet and get 2 slots for both.
Also, Hammerhand is better than Inferno Fist. That cant block stuff is pretty awesome.

Not entirely sure, but you might want to sideboard Paragon of Fierce Defiance or Paragon of New Dawns

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think I will use the Paragons due to their high mana costs. I'm trying to keep all the cards at 3 converted mana cost or under if possible.

I would suggest Borderland Marauder, so as to build upon your aggresive theme.

A budget set for Boros aggro in Standard would be:
2x Deflecting Palm
3x Ride Down
3x Titan's Strength
3x Lightning Strike
3x Coordinated Assault
3x Gods Willing
4x Favored Hoplite
4x Loyal Pegasus
4x Akroan Crusader
4x Monastery Swiftspear
4x War-Name Aspirant
4x Phalanx Leader
7x Mountain
8x Plains
4x Evolving Wilds
It has heavy punches, protection, good color spread, some evasion, burn, and surprise tech to keep the damage going with Ride Down & Deflecting Palm .
If you can afford them, Soldier of the Pantheon (taking out 2 Pegasus and 2 Hoplite) and Battlefield Forge (taking out 2 or each basic land) are welcome.
