My main goal with this deck is to be balanced. I want to be able to play aggro if given the correct conditions but also be able to counter a deck that's designed more towards midrange. I would say that this deck is like a clusterfuck of Boros/Gruul Aggro/Naya Humans.
Let me know what you guys think. Also I've been thinking about adding Terminus and pairing it with Legion's Initiative for a board wipe to haste attack. Sound like a good idea?
Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback capriom85. What cards should I remove from the main in order to make room for the extra 2 Boros Reckoner and Blasphemous Act ? Also I agree with your point about Cloudshift instead of Conjurer's Closet .

Hey everyone,
I got a little feedback on the deck page for this and I wanted some peoples input on what cards I should sub out and how many I should sub in of the cards I want.
So here is what I want to put in.. I need numbers on how many to put in and also what to take out if you could please. Also I'm trying to make this closer to a mid range deck I think.. should I be taking out most of my 1 mana creatures? Thanks in advance!

If you want that idea with Terminus and Legion's Initiative to ever work, you are going to need to up Aurelia, the Warleader to at least 2. Also, I see you have the Boros Reckoner /Blasphemous Act combo present here...I would move the Reckoner to a 4 of and the Act to a 2 of. I would take out Conjurer's Closet as the only thing here really worth blinking that often is Thragtusk at a 2 of. Maybe use Cloudshift instead. You get more options from that...also, if you Cloudshift Aurelia...you get 3 combats in a turn because she enters as a new permanent and will be "attacking for the first time" on your second attack phase.
