I've been marduing over the last few weeks, but it was lacking good results, due to mana problems, so I decided to switch to B/W warriors, which wouldn't allow me to keep my burn spell, but would let me have an easier time with land management. Took this deck to a local FNM with 12 people, went 2-0 against Mardu tokens, 1-2 jeskai tokens and 2-1 against U/G ramp, so I'd appreciate any comments about how to improve it(or the sideboard, that is not ready yet, haha).

Strategy is as simple as it seems: Ideally I would cast Bloodsoaked Champion or Tormented Hero or first turn, but if necessary I'd also cast Ruthless Ripper , although I'd rather unmorph her to block a fatty with her deathtouch, while making the opponent lose 2 life. From second turn onwards I can play any creature I have, and then start buffing then to try to end the game as soon as turn 6.

Main issue here is limited budget. Expensive cards like Sorin, Solem Visitor , Liliana Vess and Caves of Koilos were drafted from boosters, not bought directly, so although I know that Thoughtseize, Wingmate Roc or another Sorin would be a great help, I can't afford those. Sorry for the difficult task that I'm asking, but I'm counting on you guys : )

Swapped Brave the Sands and one Ruthless Ripper for Dictate of Heliod and Spear of Heliod. Also swapped Mortal's Ardor for Boon of Erebos, as it still combo with Tormented Hero/Seeker of the Way, while it also regenerates them, to protect against possible Drown in Sorrow, Bile Blight or burns. Still needs testing on wether should I keep Ruthless Ripper or replace it with Mardu Hateblade. I also need to recount the number of swamps/plains that shall be used after those replacements.
