If Koth of the Hammer were still around... i'd run him. or Elspeth, Knight-Errant .

I don't think any of the new planeswalkers offer that punch on the turn they are played... and that cost less than 5 mana.

Well... Maybe Ajani, Caller of the Pride , however, he'd have to consume my turn 3 play, which would not sit well with me.

hmm if not Hellrider i guess Spark Trooper is your best bet.. cant really think of anything more in the 4 drop spot.

Yeah... that's where i am sitting as well. But who knows... I'm still dilly-dallying.

Angel of Jubilation ??

Azorius Justiciar , great thing to do is go to the card search put converted mana cost to 4-4 creature type then just switch between the naya colors xD!!

Just a thought, but what about Domri Rade ? Using her -2 on turn four would probably kill whatever blockers your opponent has left, and allow the rest to swing for final damage ...

Archwing Dragon lol just kinda spitting cards out now

I just use magiccards.info - Best search engine.

Domri Rade is not a her :P

However, using his -2 to remove a creature is great... however, what if its a Loxodon Smiter or even a Thragtusk , a Boros Reckoner ?

I can't risk losing my own creatures, rather i need to throw something else out there that is bigger, or that guarantees damage. I actually like the idea of Archwing Dragon , just because it avoids sorceries.

im super glad you put the spark troopers in there. most naya humans dont and i ove the combo with silverblade +1

He is in here more or less as an experiment to discover good finishers in case my turn 3 doesn't work.

looks good brosif. Kinda like my Boros humans with green and Cavern of Souls . Spark Trooper is good if your smart about using him. he gets too much hate.

definitely a strong finish.

would you do Nevermore , Grafdigger's Cage , or Tormod's Crypt in place of Purify the Grave ??

@jmallette1

For one, your boros deck is kind of like mine without green, you mean. :P

And no, i wouldn't. If anything, i might use Tormod's Crypt , but only because I can use it in response to the enemy trying to get rid of it. Its a personal preference, and i've found it much more worth while to catch my opponent off guard by saving a Purify the Grave in my hand to cast at the opportune moment. Your enemy will play around cards like Grafdigger's Cage and could destroy most of those, even Nevermore with a simple removal spell.

The only thing to stop Purify the Grave (in most re-animator decks...) would be Duress ... and whoever sides that in against me is a fool.

The only thing that i would play in its place is Rest in Peace , but I would save it until I really need it...

Don't know why i haven't seen this yet!! this is ridiculous!! haha fuck my deck, i will be borrowing this idea thanks Vos! you da bomb.com.

Haha, this is my baby.

Had this typology for a long time now, since innistrad came out.

Now i'm finally getting good cards from boros and gruul :D

I almost have my version complete just need the lands!!

Yeah the boros deck will probably turn into a variation of this after rotation and by the looks of it this certainly came before my boros deck. Cudos though looks great. I had this idea before but never really ran with it. Little did I know you kinda already cornered the market on Naya Humans. And I guess I see what you mean with Purify the Grave .

Purify the Grave isn't necessarily 'better'... it just comes down to personal play style and who your opponents are. I find that it works well for my needs, however, it might not work for you, in which case i would definitely suggest Rest in Peace , because you can fight more decks with Rest in Peace than you can Purify the Grave .

so um have you given up yet and use Hellrider ?? lol :D i know how feel about not being able to cast him turn 4 but IMO even if you cast him late game it could be that deciding factor to win. Especially when you get your opponent to that annoying 5 life that is just out of reach for boros charm you can easily atk with 4 creatures and a Hellrider . i just feel hes the best 4 drop your going to get until dragons maze comes out.

You're probably right. But there is still testing to be done... I could just forgo a 4 drop and add Giant Growth s instead. 1 mana for 3 damage is pretty nice.

:'[

Lightning Bolt

Giant Growth is really good especially when your opponent is using Searing Spear but still i wish you luck!!

Yeah Giant Growth would be scary in this. do it up.

Just realized what the Giant Growth flavour text said. Lol'd
