Title: Boros Human/Angels
Post by: frickincarl on February 02, 2013, 05:46:25 PM
Boros Human/Angels
60 cards, no sideboard(yet)


4 {Sacred Foundry}
4 {Clifftop Retreat}
2 {Cavern of Souls}
7 {Plains}
6 {Mountain}


23 lands


4 {Champion of the Parish}
4 {Knight of Glory}
3 {Silverblade Paladin}
3 {Skyknight Legionnaire}
4 {Firemane Avenger}
3 {Angelic Overseer}
3 {Angelic Skirmisher}
1 {Aurelia, The Warleader}


25 creatures


4 {Boros Charm}
4 {Searing Spear}
3 {Pillar of Flame}


11 other spells


1 {Ajani, Caller of the Pride}


1 planeswalker


This is a deck I wanted to make but I think it needs a lot of work. Looking for advice on the main-board. Once I have gotten the main-board strong and competitive I can start to craft a side-board based on my local meta-game. Any ideas or criticism is welcome and appreciated!

Does {Champion of the Parish} work very well in here?

I wondered the same thing. My first thought was to go for {Legion Loyalist}, but I think he has less mid-range potential with battalion being pretty hard to trigger and his lack of growth. Another option was {Doomed Traveler} but I think in the long-run champion is going to deal far more damage to the opponent should they let him stay on the board.

I honestly think {Angelic Overseer} is a better 5-drop here. {Herald of War} has future potential with attacks and brings our Aurelia down to a 5-drop as well but as long as we control a single human on turn 5, we are slamming a 5/3 hexproof indestructable flyer on the field. Herald is very vulnerable to removal like {Searing Spear} and {Supreme Verdict}. {Angelic Overseer} gives us a reliable body on the field that (more times than not) is there to stay.
