Didn't that deck come with a Champion of the Parish considering that it's the best card in the deck... removing it really isn't the best idea.

I think that deck had a Silverblade Paladin in it too... those are by far the two best cards in the deck.. why did you remove them?

It does have Champion of the Parish in there.... wonder why I missed it!

Oh, and for the second question, I subbed Silverblade Paladin for Foundry Champion

Silverblade Paladin is infinitely better than Foundry Champion Definitely not a good swap.

Not arguing, but curious..

Silverblade Paladin, with soulbond, gives both double strike, which is nice as heck. But my win con for this would be Drop Foundry Chamion after Assemble the Legion drops tokens, then Cloudshift.

But then I see the draw to Silverblade Paladin as well. Madcap Skills on Silverblade Paladin and Paired Creature, then doublestrike is a quick win con as well. Anything you see that I can swap Silverblade Paladin back in for that isn't really helping the deck out?

Sunhome Guildmage isn't that great and you already have tons of 2 drops so I'd drop that. You should try and get more 4-of's. it will run a lot more consistent and stronger. Even if it's just for the cheap cards such as lightning maulers and stuff

Made quite a few changes as per advice.

I would remove 2 Fervor and 2 of something else for 4x Hellrider . He really gets in a lot of damage. Take a look at my Boros deck if you'd like Quick Ol' Boros

I'd put in Burning-Tree Emissary in there if possible, also what said Hellrider

Burning-Tree Emissary isn't very good in this deck at all... it's 2 red for an inconsistent bear that can't cast much in this deck.

Yeah, Burning-Tree Emissary doesn't have much synergy past a little mana. I'd much rather drop something else in there. As for Hellrider , I will look into it. Still have to playtest my changes and see if the deck is sped up any. I put Fervor in there because I want to be doing damage quickly. Mainly because if I get haste out there for everyone, the battalion triggers are nice.

Plus Fervor has a little tie-in with Hellrider as well, so there is that :D

I wouldn't run any less than 4 Champion of the Parish , and I would also run Hellraiser Goblin over Fervor , since the goblin helps you achieve battalion(by being a creature), where Fervor doesn't necessarily do that.

I'm not so keen on the Thunderous Wrath in the sideboard, I'd recommend running 2 more Skullcrack instead.

If you want to get cute, you can try running some Nearheath Pilgrim , to turn on the infinite life combo with Boros Reckoner and Boros Charm

The only thing about Fervor vs Hellraiser Goblin is that a quick searing spear or any other instant damage means that the Goblin is dead, whereas Fervor is a little harder to remove. Plus the creatures I have are fast to get out on the board, so I'm not as worried about lacking creatures. Though I appreciate the suggestions!
