Sideboard


I was trying to come up with something that could reasonably deal with all the major builds I might run into, and this is the starting point I came up with. The hope is that I can reasonably play aggressively when possible and defensively when I need to.

Purphoros, God of the Forge is sort of the big card here. Lots of damage as the game drags on. Elspeth, Sun's Champion and Assemble the Legion are my big sources of tokens, chosen because they can replace my creatures after a nuke.

I decided I needed something I could do early on to either be aggressive or deal with aggressive decks if necessary, and Akroan Crusader is what I picked. Coordinated Assault , Gods Willing , Martial Glory , and Titan's Strength let me buff him, thus getting tokens, while also being useful whether I want to attack or defend.

Boros Charm does a lot of different things. I can target Crusader, I can protect all my creatures, or if nothing else, I can throw out some cheap damage. With all these instants and a token emphasis, I figured Young Pyromancer would be a clear fit in the deck.

Thoughts and suggestions? I like where it sits right now, but if there are any glaring weakness I'm missing, it'd be great to identify and try to deal with them.
