Do you think Boros will do well in a today's (6/8/15) metagame?

I noticed that Grixis Delver, Domain/Regular Zoo and Collected Company is a thing in my/your local meta but will Boros do well even with Tron, Amulet bloom, Control in the meta?

The Boros deck is the one using Monastery Swiftspear Seeker of the Way Volcanic Fallout and mainboard Kor Firewalker along with the usual boros arsenal of removal and planeswalkers. What do you guys think?

"The Boros" deck you are referring to is not a thing. Do you have a point of reference like a deck list?

That deck was really only good in the delver Treasure Cruise meta.

Seems fairly not viable. Its like burn, but worse because you can block half the deck.

So this deck plus lands? Doesn't look too mean. I'm surprised on no Ghostly Prison or Blood Moon though.

EDIT: Strange, it doesn't seem to link it. yeaGO?

It's semi viable because it has a bye in aggro matchups, but in that regard you're better off with Soul Sisters.

Also that deck needs Soulfire Grand Master.

Found the list on MTGtop8. here is the link: http://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=9812&d=256579&f=MO

Blood Moon is of course really good and maybe could be on here if the thing is viable at all in todays meta. maybe not though.

lodestar Blood Moon is great in today's meta.

It seems like I am thinking of a way more lifegain focused version, which IMO would be way cooler.

I made a prowess deck, it certainly can win. I run Lingering Souls in it though, helps stabilize quite a bit.
