i would drop 3 Stonewright for 3 more Lightning Mauler .

deathtrend, I started this deck with Lightning Mauler s instead of Stonewright s, but the Stonewright s make such good use of the excess mana and work together extremely well with the Ash Zealot that I think they make up for the loss of haste. You may be right, but I'm going to stick with the Stonewright s for this FNM. I'll post here to let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback!

DeftMunky, i understand that, they do work well with excess mana and i'm not saying its a bad card, Stonewright just never did well for me in my Boros deck, i can see it doing better in a mono red though.

Hey deathtrend,

I was making a Boros deck as well and the Lightning Mauler s worked really well in that deck, particularly with the Champion of the Parish .

I hope that with the release of Gatecrash that Boros will be viable. Right now the best aggro red creature (Ash Zealot ) conflicts too much mana-wise with the strong white cards to be viable. (And the lack of WR painland fixing makes it tough too.)

Thanks again for the comments!
