Budget Boros for challenge. Enchantment Focused R/W.

Deliver quick beats if possible with a pumped up Boros Swiftblade . Effects from Legion's Initiative and Madcap Skills make him your most formidable threat in the deck.

Your safety net is also in place running quite a few enchantments and Sphere of Safety. In a war of attrition you can usually win out with SoS and Assemble the Legion in place. Hopefully it won't come to that though.

Mugging is huge in this matchup since (if people think like me) most of the threats will be smaller early on. Even late in the game its a great way to open a door for a 10 power double striking swiftblade. The Lightning Helix will most often be used to clear a path but can also knock out the last few points of damage if need be. Its also a free pass on taking out an opposing Boros Reckoner.

A singleton Mizzium Mortars is there as a desperate measure in case you are getting overwhelmed.

Tajic, Blade fo the Legion is a huge problem for other Boros decks. We don't really have a way to deal with Indestructible. Other than enchantments like Faith's Fetters. If he sticks around and gets say Madcap Skills... I'll let you do the math.
