Sideboard


Maybeboard


The idea here is simple creature Aggro approach w/ Heroic combo shenanigans to produce tons of +1/+1 counters and swing for obnoxious amounts of damage, along with a little splash of creature control, and even some back-up win conditions via the Boros Gods & Assemble the Legion..

Currently in need of Sideboard advice..

~~

Heros w/ Solo effects:

Favored Hoplite: A decent weenie creature that grows bigger, and can potentially be saved from larger creatures & burn..

Fabled Hero : If left unchecked, this guy quickly turns into an overpowering beatstick.. (Bomb #1)

Heros w/ Group effects:

Phalanx Leader: This little weenie has the ability to cause everything to grow bigger with every spell (Heroic or otherwise)..

Anax and Cymede: A fantastic creature on it's own, but it's Heroic ability makes it just ridiculous.. (Bomb #2)

Single Heroic triggers:

Hopeful Eidolon : Although usually used as an early 1-drop creature, it's Bestow ability also allows it to be useful later on..

Gods Willing: Protection spells can be important game-changers on their own, but when they trigger Heroic abilities, they're even better!.

Ordeal of Purphoros : This card synergizes really well with Ajani & various heroic abilites that also produce +1/+1 counters..

Madcap Skills: An incredibly powerful card, and therefore auto-include for most forms of red aggro.. (Becomes borderline stupid when attached to Fabled Hero )

Dual Heroic triggers:

Coordinated Assault : A quick & simple combat trick for triggering multiple Heroic abilities at instant speed..

Martial Glory : A complex 2-drop instant for use on one or two creatures..

Dauntless Onslaught : Pumps most creatures out of Bolt-range, but it's 3-CMC keeps it at a singleton..

Other various spells and additional Win-Cons:

Celestial Flare: One of the more sadistic kill spells available..

Boros Charm: A nice little multi-tool and potential win-con; It's either a hard burn spell, anti-board wipe, or a powerful Heroic trigger..

Aurelia's Fury : A complex multi-purpose burn tool, usually for pushing an alpha-strike though, but in a pinch can even be used as a combat trick to trigger multiple Heroic triggers..

Blind Obedience: For messing with the tempo of other Aggro match-ups, and as a handy source of extortion..

Ajani, Caller of the Pride: This little kitty makes my creature(s) stronger and puts the game on a clock if ignored..

Spear of Heliod: Essentially a Legendary Glorious Anthem with a built-in source of creature destruction..

Heliod, God of the Sun: Three-fold useful; 1st- Vigilance in an Aggro deck is awesome; 2nd- He's an easily animated indestructible fatty; and 3rd- He's a late-game token producing mana sink!

Hammer of Purphoros: Mainly because having a source of Haste in an Aggro deck is good, but so is having a(nother) potential source of late-game tokens..

Purphoros, God of the Forge: Although likely never to be animated, he's here to mess people up with his triggered burn ability..

Assemble the Legion: A back-up win-con that also synergizes really well with several other cards in this deck (particularly Purphoros & Phalanx Leader)..
