Returning to Magic
Deck Help forum
Posted on April 7, 2013, 8:05 p.m. by Ziggy
Hi there! I m Pablo from Argentina. I open this thread cause i have recently returned to magic with the Gatecrash expansion. I start playing with Mercadian Masques, and quit Magic a couple of years ago when the Kamigawas Set came out. The only deck i have left is the UG Madness (which i posted an hour ago in the deck lists) but i wanted to have another deck with modern cards.
Last week i started looking out for decks and bought the Rally and Rout deck that recently came out. My plan is to build an Aggro Boros deck but i need some help. The only cards i have are the ones that came with de event deck i bought.
My question is, which cards or which route should i follow in order to make an aggro boros deck? Have you any recommendation? I saw some cards like Stormkirk Noble, Hellrider and Heroes of Blade Holder that seem interesting.
As there is a base for UG which consists of cards such as: Wonder, Wild Mongrel, Aquamoeba, Basking Rootwalla, and Arrogant Wurm, for example, is there any base for boros that i should take into acount?
Thank you very much,
Pablo
Thank you very much! I saw the deck and it s ok. I want to preserve the WR combination and i only buy this deck so as me to have a couple of cards but i have no problema in modifying a lot. Can you give me a list of "Must Have Cards" for an aggro boros RW deck? Are the ones i mention in my first post, good cards for the deck i m planning? Thanks a lot!

Boros Reckoner is a very popular tournament card and must not be discounted, although it's probably v.expensive. As is Aurelia, the Warleader .
Stock up on Boros Charm s too, they are great.

Thanks, pooky! I bought the Rally and Rout deck (http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/rally-and-rout-07-04-13-1/) so as to have a base to start. Im thinking of:
3 Boros Reckoner 3 Hellrider,
1 Thundermaw Hellkite 2 Spark Tropper 4 Stromkirk Noble 3 Silverblade Paladin 4 Legion Loyalist 3 Frontline Medic 3 Lightning Mauler 4 Ash Zealot
4 Sacred Foundry 4 Clifftop Retreat 6 Plain 8 Mountain
2 Blaspehmous Act 2 Boros Charm
4 Searing Spear
What do you think? Is it aggro enough? I missed a bunch of great cards such as Rackdos Cackler, Champion of the Parish and Firemane Avenger. I dont know if this is pretty solid or not.

That seems really powerful, actually. Blasphemous Act is a curious choice since you will have tons of your own creatures getting caught in the blast, does it work well for you? If not, maybe consider some more burn (maybe two more Boros Charm s?)

Blasphemous Act is a card to work with Boros Reckoner dealing 13dmg similar to Stuffy Doll decks

Yes but the thing is that it Works well with Boros Reckoner. It gives 13 damage to the opponent in one shot and, with luck, spending few mana.
Boros Charm is a great one, i don t know if taking 2 spear and putting 2 charms or leave it 3 - 3. There s nother great card called Mugging, that deals 2 damage to a creature and taps it. That could help against powerfull blocking creatures.

Ah, didn't spot that combo, no worries then.
Skullcrack may be a sideboard card to consider, it's strong against Sphinx's Revelation and Thragtusk .

google naya blitz, it'll give you an idea to what aggro looks like in the standard format and it'll be about the closest deck the rally and rout event deck can be.
