we are boros
we are legion
we do not forgive
we do not forget
expect us!
Where Razia was aloof and untouchable, Aurelia is on the frontlines, calling for war.
Here are some explinations why I've choosen the cards that you see in the list above:
1-drops:
I think everyone knows about the power of Champion of the Parish I know there are some non-human creatures in this deck but there are enough humans in here to keep the champ working.
Boros Elite
and
Legion Loyalist
both have really powerful Battalion abilities. Dropping a Champion of the Parish is less effective if for some reason the game isn't over after turn 4/5... The
Boros Elite
would still be a 3/3 attacker and the
Legion Loyalist
gives your creatures sweet abilities...
2-drops:
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
and Lightning Mauler are the stars in that slot. Thalia really slows your opponent down and Lightning Mauler is either a 2/1 haste creature if you pair it with your 1-drop or as in most cases it will pair with your 3 drop to do a lot of damage.
Ash Zealot
is more like a placeholder until I get more
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
she is a really nice card but I think Thalia will do better! ;)
3-drops:
Silverblade Paladin
is really amazing if you pair it with Champion of the Parish or
Spark Trooper
for example...
I like Boros Reckoner because it's easy to cast (because of the hybrid mana), it has the possibility to get first strike if needed and if you don't have the mana for that he can easily block a Thragtusk and do 5 more damage right in your opponents face or just remove another creature.
4-drops:
Well I think the use of Hellrider is clear ... It worked very well in my RDW and he'll do so in that boros build. He is one of the strongest cards in the meta right now!
Spark Trooper
is a removal magnet just like
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
... when you drop the Trooper there are 2 common scenarios:1. Your opponent has some removal and your
Spark Trooper
forces him to use it against a creature, that will die anyway...2. Your opponent doesn't have removal or don't want to play it. So your trooper will do 6 damage and you'll get 6 life...
As for
Ajani, Caller of the Pride
:I love him. He can make one of my creatures a flying, double strike attacker and his first ability is really helpful if the game lasts longer than expected for some reason.
