I wonder if Valorous Stance would be any good in here. Similar to Boros Charm, except it pushes through Siege Rhino, Tasigur, the Golden Fang and large Tarmogoyfs.
Sweet deck nonetheless :)

How has Kytheon, Hero of Akros Flip been working for you? I really think he's a strong card but I have yet to see him showing up in many lists.
I have to say that I'm sad to see some of the more expensive cards go - they made your deck quite unique as many of them don't see regular Modern play. That being said, I can definitely appreciate slimming down on your curve to try and keep up with other Modern decks.
Have you tried Goblin Rabblemaster in this list? I would suspect that he may do a better job than Boros Reckoner, especially since you have a theme of trying to "go wide". His free goblin tokens play really well with Akroan Hoplite, Boros Elite, Kytheon, Hero of Akros Flip (as they make it easier to flip him) and Hero of Bladehold.

Hey, sorry for the late response.
I actually haven't been able to test Kytheon, Hero of Akros Flip since i haven't manage to snag myself a copy. I always liked using the other gideons and this just seems like a smaller bite sized version of him that you can get out a lot faster which is always fun.
I like Goblin Rabblemaster but i have a strong feeling he will have the same problems as Krenko, Mob Boss, that he took a few turns to get going.. he could be a better option since he does spawn a token the turn he is played but i would much rather play him in a goblin typed deck than this one.

Great deck. I love the boros themes.
I came across your deck while looking through a few modern decks to play test against my budget izzet Izzet a secret (owned). I did quite a few matches and here is my personal opinion.
I think your deck is weak to creatures with toughness > 4. Lightning bolt and Lightning helix are great spells but that leaves you with Path to exile as your only big threat answer.
Boros Reckoner in aggro decks is seriously over powered I would consider increasing them from 2 to 3 of.
You have 19 instant spells but your creatures don't have synergy with your spells except for Raise the alarm. They only have synergy with other attacking creatures. It seems you are not maximizing the spell synergy or the creature synergy but playing with both halfhearted.
For maximizing attacking creatures I would second cyrusthelin with Young Pyromancer. Also Secure the Wastes might be good here or possibly in sideboard. Monastery Swiftspear is never a bad choice with all those spells. Thraben Inspector is great for creating some board state. When adding these I would look at removing some of the instant spells and going more creature heavy.

Also, Legions Initiative doesn't seem to add enough punch for its two mana cost. I would consider making this slot another creature or token spell.

Thanks for the suggestions bootz :) It's been a almost a year since i stopped playing a lot of magic but now im back and im definitely looking to speed up the deck. I do agree that the spells and creatures need to have a bit more synergy so im going to mess around with several options that are available. Im currently looking at whether Monastery Swiftspear or Goblin Guide is a better fit in the deck but if i am to go towards a more spell heavy deck with wild pyro i have to chose monastery. Ill be messing around but i really want to keep the core theme of the deck, even if Aurelia, the Warleader isnt the best.

very very nice deck! I think you can put Stony Silence in your side, but it's not necessary

I'd cut a Hoplite and an Elite for two mainboard Thalia's for some hate for storm decks on game one
