I do like this. But I feel that aside from turn 2, reckless waif may be dead.

Oh I agree. But as of this moment, I don't own any good one drop humans that could fill her spot. Any suggestions on what to replace her with? Legion Loyalist comes to mind, but he's not human.... And..... Eh...

A gatherer search (and personal opinion) brings up Doomed Traveler , Cathedral Sanctifier , Somberwald Vigilante , and Stonewright .

I'm thinking the traveler, or the vigilante.

I'm also looking to replace Ash Zealot simply because I only have one copy.

Also, maybe minus the pillars, the wrath, and one volley for Boros Charm ?

Personally I like Doomed Traveler . Its a human and it helps cover your defense against flyers. A more aggressive choice and post roration pick for me would be Boros Elite

I've already got three in here, but..... Doomed Traveler it is!

I really feel like you could get more bang for your buck if you replaced the Shred Freaks, especially since they're 1 toughness. Bomber Corps? I tend to like a little something for late(r) game, so I like the Hellrider. Also, I like Splatter Thug and that whole first strike thing. And why no Wojek Halberdiers?

I think your emissaries are wasted, since there's no green and you don't have any 1-drop red spells. Maybe a more mid-range (or at least slightly slower) Boros deck would be ideal, especially with DGM cards like Viashino Firstblade, Spark Trooper, Tajic Blade of the Legion. And you can always add a Reckoner or three as your budget allows.

(all opinions are mine and subject to dumbness)

The emissaries allow a turn two emissary/spear or lightning mauler combo, or more emissaries. Or mad cap skills.

The shredfreaks are for the hastness. I'll consider the bomber corps, if they come up in trades, to replace them, since they also work with the emissaries.

Boros reckoner is to slow, doesn't trigger champion, and is more of a midrange card anyways. Once rotation happens in October, it'll probably be added, since the entire format will slow down considerably.

Adding any DGM cards would only slow it down, removing the consistent turn 4/5 wins. The entire set is slow, but wizards has said they are trying to slow down standard.

I heartily welcome a slower standard. And I see what you're saying with the Emissaries. I hadn't thought of that.

I don't like slow, aggro is the best.

However, I've decided that when innistrad rotates, I'll play grixis control, as I've got the lands for it.

Never mind. I think somebody stole my lands, that or I just took page out of my binder and left it somewhere.

Really great.

I like this type of aggro human decks a lot. My only recommendations are changing the rakdos shred freak for ash zealot and madcap for skynight legionare so you can activate the battalion or pump your champion

If I had more Ash Zealot I would do that. Hands down a better card for this deck.

Skyknight Legionnaire is three mana, which is expensive for this deck, but considering I have a playset, so I'll play test with them in place of the shredfreaks, and I'll see how it goes.

The thing about Madcap Skills is the R/X mana cost. It works with Burning-Tree Emissary for a turn two 5/2 Champion of the Parish that is somewhat unblockable. But thanks, really, for taking a look.

Also, Skullcrack will probably be making an appearance.

Interesting. I look forward to seeing your new build play out. I'm running four Ash Zealots in my R/G aggro, but I'm going to cut one in favor of a full playset of Maulers. Emissary/Mauler or Emissary/Flinthoof Boar (if I'm low on mana) is just too powerful to pass up. And I'm likely gonna run three Reckoners, so...

I would like to run four Ash Zealot . Its a lot better than Rakdos Shred-Freak .

Also, I lied, I only have two Skyknight Legionnaire s, But ill still test them out.

More mountains less plains because you have lots of RR two drops.

But what about my Emeria, The Sky Ruin ?!

/jk

Done.

Interesting build. When this deck hums, it has that explosiveness you want in an aggro deck. I'm not sure about Thalia, Guardian of Thraben mainboard, you have 10 noncreature spells that she hurts. Maybe 2x more Ash Zealot ? Possibly Silverblade Paladin , but his 2white might hurt unless you added 2x Cavern of Souls . Anyway, the T3 doublestrike is nice and you don't have any 3CMC creatures in there. I would strongly consider him.

If I had any silver blades, I would do that. Unfortunately, I do not.

But I do have two more zealots I could try.

Thalia was mostly main board because I have quite a few control decks running around my meta and decided before fnm that instead of siding her in, I would just run her.

But the zealots win faster.

If I had any silver blades, I would do that. Unfortunately, I do not.

But I do have two more zealots I could try.

Your deck is pretty damn fast and strong ! It looks a lot like The Kessig Township. I hope it's only a coincidence.

Anyway, +1 from me : )

@jokercrow Huh, I thought I replied to this....

Anyways, I saw The Kessig Township and liked how fast it was, however, I didn't like the fact that all the aggro decks (at the time, mind you, because this was for last standard season) looked like The Kessig Township.

I didn't want to play that, but I still wanted to play aggro. After trading one night, I had four Champion of the Parish and said "Fuck it, human aggro."

In short, it is a coincidence, and it is also not a coincidence. I wanted to play aggro because of it, but similarities in the lists are coincidence.
