Question, why elixir? Does life gain and recovering your graveyard really suit the aggro?
I'm surprised there are no Boros Reckoner about, more ways to dome someone if they get low life. It's do hard to not get value out of your Reckoner.

Pfffft I can't afford that! Reckoner is for people with money. I have none so my deck is kind of budgety.
Elixer of Immortality does not really work well with this deck, as I do not care about my life nor my graveyard.
Chained to the rocks was a thought at one time, and as I type this now I suddenly realize that it would be a good decision to add a few to my sideboard for any pesky gods that happen to show up.

I'd consider something to potentially swap for the spark trooper. It's a dead draw if the opponent has any form of first strike. Imposing Sovereign is also the name of Spark trooper. I really like the concept of Spark Trooper but I'd run them sideboard only.

Nareik123: Sparky was actually my main inspiration for this deck. He comes out with a full force bang if done correctly, and nobody expects him in the current meta (sort of like scorchwalker, my only bloodrush in a bros deck). I have, however, attempted to find a replacement for him; nothing ever came to mind that could fill th spot. He (it?) just fits so well in an aggro deck as a huge, threatening four-drop turn 4 (or more depending on the circumstance of course).

Also remember that Legion Loyalist grants first strike with his battalion, so having that mechanic when sparky comes out isn't THAT far away from happening if I ever need it to.

Boros Reckoner in mainboard? He would combo really well with Scorchwalker and his bloodrush ability.

MTGfanman I own zero Reckoners nor do I have the money to own and reckoners. Otherwise I would throw that bad boy in here for some good times.

Understandable, he is even more expensive than Desecration Demon now.

If you have control match-ups that go on too long then you outta look towards Stormbreath Dragon , or against other aggro Anax and Cymede cause they can take most aggro creatures in a fight and sit in defense while still attacking. Also love this, looks like a solid build +1 for sure!

Although after looking at that last update I realize you won't splurg for a Stormbreath Dragon , I've never been able to either :( I can't tell you the cost of Anax and Cymede though cause the on'es I've got are from duel decks and trading

Thanks for the comment! I like the Anax and Cymede idea. I'll definitely consider it, but at the moment I am using utility things like Magma Jet and Boros Charm to take on other aggressive decks. Stormbreath Dragon is so freaking expensive, I will probably never ever have the pleasure of owning one. That being said let's pretend I do have the money for it: it would be a very tough card to throw in here, as I am only running 22 lands and would probably never have the mana to run it. It's super risky but I would maybe consider running one or two in my side.

Big fan of the new chili cheese fries griller at the Bell. For those times when you're like "damn, I want some chili cheese fries but I'm driving".
Solved.
It's like the Boros Charm of foods.

WhatTheHElspeth Whenever I go to Taco Bell I usually just get 2 potato loaded grillers, and they have recently come out with that big grilled nacho thing that is really good. No idea what it's called, so I order a "big grilled nacho thing" and they give me that loaded wrap with beef and nachos. It's not the same. I had no idea that they had a chili cheese fries griller, so I am definitely grabbing that next time I go. Boros Charm is the raddest shit.
