Remove: Bomber Corps Maybe Remove: Arrows of Justice Suggestions: Truefire Paladin , Daring Skyjek , Warmind Infantry and if you could someone swing it cost wise: Legion's Initiative .

Also, I forgot about: Boros Mastiff .

Legion's Initiative is incredible. Buff your brigade? Blink it out of harm's way with no cost to your offensive capabilities? Amazing.

However, it's pricy. I would have to remove the "budget" label from the deck because it would most definitely exceed $30.

Also, should I go 3x Frontline Medic and 3x Firemane Avenger instead of 2x and 4x, respectively?

Also, if this were modern, Glory of Warfare . Love the art and flavor text. Pretty great card, too.

AWESOME DECK! i love that it is a budget deck that can whip up on more expensive decks

Thanks! It's a really fun way to win without pouring 100s of dollars into a deck. :)

I'd take 4x Frontline Medic period. It's Battalion's best card easily and it is a prime candidate for removal, so you are likely going to replace them every now and then. Firemane Avenger is probably the second best Battalion card, but it's only really for the long game. Since it doesn't come out until turn 4 at the earliest (unless you cheat it out or ramp it out somehow) , it can't attack until turn 5 (provided you aren't using Legion Loyalist or some other mass haste) which is bad for Battalion. You want to either kill your opponent turn 4, or leave them only a handful of hp ~5 maybe.

Good point. Changes made.

+1 for the chant. Such flavor.

I would suggest some Akroan Hoplite . Its good for any Battalion aggro deck.

Not a bad idea in the least. What should I cut?

i'd say, since you have so many 2 drops, replace 2 drops with 2 drops. Boros Elite Is not as helpful later game than something like Firefist Striker , due to, he only buffs himself and all your other battalions effect all of your creatures. So i would either do this,

If you want 4x Akroan Hoplite go: -2x Boros Elite -1 Wojek Halberdiers -1 Truefire Paladin . OR if you wanna keep the chances of getting all of them equal, -1 from all i just listed and, -1 Firefist Striker leaving all 4 of them at 3x.

if you only wanna put in like 3x Akroan Hoplite go: -1x Boros Elite , -1 Wojek Halberdiers , -1 Truefire Paladin .

Truefire Paladin & Boros Elite only account for themself. Although, they are great cards, they don't offer as much as someone like Frontline Medic .

Also, i'd keep as many Firefist Striker s as possible because the combo between him and Akroan Hoplite is great.

Also, i see in your maybeboard Sunhome Guildmage . I think that is a great additiion to this deck. Expecially if the game goes into late game, He pops out more attackers for your battalion and buffing Akroan Hoplite and he gives all your creatures +1/+0 which is great utility.

IMO he's a better R/W 2 drop than Truefire Paladin only cuz he helps all of your creatures swing hard, and he can make even more creatures who can swing the turn they pop out!

You make some excellent points. For late-game matchups, Sunhome Guildmage is great. He should at least be on the sideboard. I think I'll go with the 3 for everything option. -1 to Elite, Truefire, and Halberdiers, +3 Akroan Crusader .

Thanks so much for the help! Have a look at some of my other decks, maybe you'll be able to help me out. I'll of course do the same for you. Cheers!

Sorry, meant +3 Akroan Hoplite . Lol

If you get some decently high red devotion, another good enchantment buff would be Thunderous Might .

That's actually an amazing idea. I'm going to playtest it and see how much R devotion I can have by turn 4-5.

The R devotion is actually pretty decent by Turn 4-5, but it usually doesn't effect the lethality of the damage on the board by that point. So I'll probably hold off on Thunderous Might for now. Might be a good option for certain matchups though. Like heavy control with lifegain, where I might need a massive slugger in the mid-game to close a gap.

That description alone is worth the +1!

Oh my god.... that Budget Brigade... crying with laughter

XD

Honour the charge they made!

Why is this not #1? The description alone is worth #1 and +1.

With your help, the Budget Brigade will claim a place of high honour on T/O. :)

you sir deserve a +1 just for the poem
