Hard control into late game hulk smash. I should be adding Ral-Zarek planeswalker from Dragon's Maze to this when he's released provided he's a worthy planeswalker (which I strongly believe he will be!)
Easy board control/card draws using charms and
Augur of Bolas
. If the enemy board gets too heavy, fire off a Supreme Verdict. If they try any Boros Charm trickery against your verdict or you suspect they might due to 1W 1R being open, then ideally have an Izzet Charm/counter-spell handy (post-sideboard).
Set up a nice array of lands, and go on the defence early on via sitting a Boros Reckoner or two down on the field. That'll deter any big nasties for fear of backlash damage and you'll be able to first strike anything else. Later on you're looking to Sphinx's Revelation yourself back into a nice comfy life-total and card-draw if you took a few hits earlier.
Proceed to give them a cheeky beatdown once their board and hand have dried up via Thundermaw Hellkite, ideally holding the appropriate charm if you think your opponent might have any counter-spells e.g. Boros Charm for creature destruction and any of the counter-spells to counter any counter-spells they may have. If not, Boros Charm to double-strike your Thundermaw Hellkite and proceed to lay on the hulk smashing. If you have a Gisela, Blade of Goldnight (post-sideboard) to hand, even better for melting them.
Harvest Pyre
/ Blasphemous Act offer an instant death-sentence for your opponents with your Boros Reckoner on the table.
Yes, there is an infinite life combo in this deck which is perfectly feasible if you get lucky with your draws. Don't hold cards too strenuously trying to achieve it as it is generally more for amusement value rather than necessity - this deck can more than handle itself without it. (Boros Reckoner + Azorius Charm + Boros Charm -> redirect damage to Boros Reckoner and pick your favourite high life total number. The damage to initiate in the first place can either come from blocking/attacking with your reckoner and being blocked, or using your own
Searing Spear
to deal 3 damage to the reckoner.)
