Pretty standard Boros Legion. I favor options instead of pigeonholing yourself with play-sets of cards. Even with a load of 4x and less card variety you can still get screwed on the draw. I prefer a deck with 1, 2 and 3x cards that are good to utilize in variety of situations. Plenty of burn and removal to keep the board clean. Boros charms and Legion's Initiative for protection, as well as Frontline medic. This deck has a lot of options and different win cons. People say Assemble the Legion is too slow but damn does it win me a lot of games. Even as a 1-of. Once it is down if you opponent has no removal for it they are in trouble.

I realize I could make good use of Mutavault for battalion triggers too, again $20 for a land is a bit steep. I'm not a budget player per se, but I'm also not $20 for a land hardcore.

Edit

I finished up my land playsets and got myself some reckoners so I've overhauled the decklist since placing at gameday. I think the deck is more well rounded now and with the Reckoner on board it should be a force to be 'reckoned' with. ZING. Removed Elspeth due to a overwhelming trade offer and the fact that in most of my games, she was chilling in the middle of my deck...better off as trade fodder.
