This is the very first deck I've ever made. Help!!
Seems like a solid Boros deck to me. Would you consider {figure of destiny} or {legion loyalist} over the {apothecary initiate}? I get the feeling that you're on a budget by using guild gates. If you could get a hold of {temple of triumph} or {sacred foundry}, those would be better.
Thanks! I'll look into those lands; I can easily see why they're better. How do the quantities look? I have absolutely no idea how to do this (:
In general, it's good to have 4 of as many of your good cards as possible. That way you're more likely to draw them. However, this is already pretty good! It's not a lot of one-ofs.
I would agree that the first thing to come out should be the initiates.
How about now?
Seems good! The mana base (lands) could be fixed a bit, but that can come later. Oh, you might also want to find room for {lightning bolt}.
How do I fix the mana base?

Otherwise this is fine I think. Some other cheap options are {evolving wilds} {clifftop retreat} and even just more basic lands. The idea is that it slows your deck down to play tapped lands- you have to wait and extra turn to cast things.
Try alot of small mana costing spells like
Raise the Alarm
Impetuous Sunchaser
Midnight Gaurd
Imposing Sovereign
Soulmender
Spirit Bonds( maybe only 1 or 2 )
Triplicate Spirits (same only 1 or 2 )
Cavalry Pegasus
Boros Mastiff
Bomber Corps
Wojek Halberdiers
Knight Watch ( 2 of thoughs )
Alot of things with battalion and anything that gets out small but in big numbers
