Spark Trooper and Tajic, Blade of the Legion are my two favorite Boros cards. Combined with Preeminent Captain this deck should be more aggro. This rebuild is an attempt to get big powerful creatures into battle and triggering battalion faster with less mana.

Adding Preeminent Captain led to add more soldiers, replacing about half the cards. It was really hard because I like so many of the cards that were here, like Boros Reckoner, Frontline Medic, Silverblade Paladin , and Firemane Avenger . Aurelia, the Warleader was cut too... awesome card but such a high CMC.

Suggestions and card ideas are encouraged.
