I have been Play testing this deck to see how well it plays out, and for the most part a turn five win, maybe four. Turn 1 Legion Loyalist swing for 1. Turn 2 Mogg War Marshal Swing for another 1. Turn 3 Attended Knight swing for 3. Turn 4 Hero of Oxid Ridge swing out for 13 (because Mogg is gone) which is potentially a burn from killing them.Sometimes it plays out like more of a stall until Blaze Commando is out. For instance, turn 1 Doomed Traveler . Turn 2 Gather the Townsfolk . Turn 3 Attended Knight . Turn 4 Glory of Warfare which might be enough to win, but if not hold out until turn 5 for Blaze Commando for the win.

Im kind of conflicted by the turn out by either focusing on getting Blaze Commando as soon as possible with mana ramp for a huge combo, or going straight aggro with it.

Arc Trail helps with hitting multiple targets to proc Blaze Commando .

Yeah I considered that as well, or Cone of Flame . The problem with getting blaze out is the mana. I will probably put a few Boros Signet in it.

For token generation definitely consider Assemble the Legion I'm building a deck based solely around it and so far it's going pretty awesome-ly. You can check it out here if you want Boros Token

I like [Firemane Avenger] in Boros control/burn, her battalion is a free [Lightning Helix], which would work well in your deck, and 3/3 flying for 4 is pretty sick. But, your deck is definitely not geared towards battalion right now, so I can't say it'd work perfectly without a little tweaking. Anywho, red/white control through burn is interesting, I was expecting more [Pacifism] and [Silence] etc.

Possibly, try Blaze Commando for some cheap tokens every red spell, he works with Firemane Avenger really well. Another possibility is Aurelia's Fury instead of Earthquake , since you don't really have any flying in the deck. I also might sideboard some Wear / Tear for noncreature removal.

Oh Blaze Commando how I want to break you... The main idea of the deck was play stuff like Earthquake to control board but also have bodies such as Kor Firewalker and Auriok Champion to keep me ahead of the opponent on board position. Assemble the Legion also works very well with this idea. Now blaze would be good because the moment I drop a Blasphemous Act I put out an army from it...
