Thanks for showing your support, guys! If we rally together, we can make certain that the Budget Brigade earns the honour it deserves! Let us press onward to greater heights! Sound the charge!

The poem alone earns you the +1! I'd give you another for the deck (which is awesome) but I haven't any more to give. =O Seriously though, cool deck! I'm gonna try it now!

needs Akroan Crusader . Those tokens will help trigger battalion and allow you to take more advantage of Martial Glory

What about Legion Loyalist In place of Wojek Halberdiers ?

Viashino is pretty darned good, he's kind of like a burn spell. I'm trying to stick to the $30 budget, so I'll have to rearrange a lot for the Legion Loyalist . He sure is awesome though.

I'd probably switch some Arrows of justice with Celestial Flare, deals with bigger/hexproof blockers.

Yeah, totally right there. I do like the art for Arrows though! :)

That's for sure. Epic arrowgirls.
If you're interested, i also made an aggro boros (HoTG: Boros). It's a theros-based one though, with heroism being the main theme. Playtesting shows that the two trade blows and perform like any aggro vs. aggro matchup: the better hand wins.

I'm very interested. Sounds awesome, man. I'll have a look!

+1 from me.
I had a Boros Pauper deck make #1 for a while that is very similar to this. It is more heroic and enchantment based, maybe you can take some inspiration from it.

Had to +1 just for the poem alone! The deck looks pretty fast to play also!

This is a great idea; I do have 2. I'd love to try them out. Thanks to you, sir. :)

You're really heavy on the two drops, so I'd remove some and go for more 1 drops. The only two drops I'd run are Daring Skyjek (this dude is great), Wojek Halberdiers (again 3 power for 2 is great), and Firefist Striker . Truefire Paladin is not great compared to those 3, and Akroan Hoplite is way too vulnerable and too dependent on you having a good board state. I'd support Boros Elite , Soldier of the Pantheon , Rakdos Cackler , Dryad Militant or Loyal Pegasus as one drops (I'd choose 1-3 to run as four-ofs). And getting that turn 3 battalion activation is so vital, so I'd run 4x Viashino Firstblade in addition to Skyknight Legionnaire . Maybe even 4x Minotaur Skullcleaver too, because it seems really important. I don't like those four drops, esp. since none of them have haste. Instead of Martial Glory and Arrows of Justice , I'd run Dynacharge and Fortify . Casting that at instants speed should get you consistent turn 4 wins. and I'd try to get to 21 or 22 lands.

I would drop a Celestial Flare for another Magma Jet in the main. Also, do you feel you get your four drops out consistently on turn 4? This is a pretty aggressive deck and I find four drops to be dead cards unless I can get them out really fast. Have you considered running an extra land or two (if you find you can't get them out on turn 4)? +1 from me

JakeHarlow says... #25
This is a really good point. These 4-drops are strategically irrelevant in the context of this deck, especially when it is working properly. Ideally, the game should go like this:
T1: Plains , Boros Elite
T2: Mountain , Wojek Halberdiers
T3: Mountain or Plains , Skyknight Legionnaire , swing 8
T4: play land if possible, play creature if possible, swing 8, Boros Charm for 4 damage to opponent, win
I feel that more than 21 lands is excessive. Though I believe you on the Magma Jet call, I'll make the change. Perhaps I should consider replacing some or all of the 4-drops with something faster, like Soldier of the Pantheon , Ash Zealot , or Legion Loyalist .
What do you think about this?
