Boros Battalion (need help) 75 cards, 15 sideboard 2 {Slayers' Stronghold} 2 {Sacred Foundry} 9 {Plains} 10 {Mountain} 23 lands 3 {Lightning Mauler} 1 {Boros Reckoner} 2 {Aurelia, the Warleader} 4 {Boros Elite} 4 {Legion Loyalist} 4 {Hellrider} 4 {Silverblade Paladin} 22 creatures 4 {Searing Spear} 2 {Ajani, Caller of the Pride} 4 {Boros Charm} 2 {Mizzium Mortars} 2 {Assemble the Legion} 1 {Aurelia's Fury} 15 other spells Sideboard 1 {Gather the Townsfolk} 4 {Spark Trooper} 2 {Firemane Avenger} 3 {Ash Zealot} 1 {Witchbane Orb} 1 {Séance} 1 {Mizzium Mortars} 2 {Righteous Charge} 15 sideboard cards Notes: I need help. I've been doing very poorly in every FNM so I am asking that on this and my other deck(Rotten Greens) if anyone can help and see what it is I am doing wrong with my deck building please. Ty.      This deck is designed to use the battalion ability and keep a large number of creatures on the bf. Cards like {Ajani, Caller of the Pride}, {Thraben Doomsayer}  , {Precinct Captain}, and {Increasing Devotion} are there to keep the Battalion going. The second part is to maintain a lot of haste using {Fervor}, { Hellrider} and many creatures with haste or soul bond to create haste, or Battalion.                       Chandra and some burn for direct damage and to try to limit opponent's blockers.   I will be adding 4 x {Spark Trooper} , 2x {Boros Elite} , and 2 more {Lightning Mauler} when I get them. Other cards are limited in number due to not having more (like {Ash Zealot} . Thanks for any time critiquing. I really need ideas and to find out why my deck making is so bad. At least I admit it lol.

I was thinking that I might put {Seance} in the deck as it might be cool to keep bouncing my guys back for a turn.

I think if you can aim for something like this, you will get some more consistancy out of your deck. I needs to be dropping creatures often and swinging effectively.
Also don't be afraid to check out more creatures from the core set and previous block to see what's about.
For example,  {Odric, Master Tactician}

 {Thatcher Revolt} is a good way to trigger battalion when your opponents don't think you'll be able to

Cool, thanks. Most are below 4 just because I don't have 4, but I do have tons of M13 and RTR cards so I will do that. I have Odrc, well really all the M13 soldier cards.

Thanks again man!

Didn't even think of that! Cool

[RevanJJ]

Thanks to some trades I've been able to add a bit more consistency. Hopefully w more cards soon will be better. Hopefully going in the right direction.

This deck is really way too over the place to work. Chandra doesn't belong and neither does Fury. Fervor is plain bad because a creaure would be better 90% of the time. I think the reason this deck and the other are unsuccessful are because they're not aggro enough for aggro and not powerful enough for midrange.

Well my though process was to have them all have haste and hit hard and fast, autekia's fury because it can wipe out many of opponent's blockers and tap the ones it doesn't kill, the spark trooper to be used like an instant and Chandra to to do damage while some support cards like Precinct captain, gather the townsfolk and such help me keep Batallipn activated.
As I trade I'm slowly able to get consistency like getting 2 more Paladins and going to 4 of each major card so right now I think it's underpowered due to filler cards. Harnt actually played this yet but I agree.
What cards would you replace them with?

I don't feel like deleting all the comments so I made the edits I would reccommend. Competetive magic costs money and that's all there is to it really.

[RevanJJ]

Lol it's a $220 deck average so yeah I'm aware of the cost factor.

Anyway, I've adjusted it.

Aggro Battalion 60 cards 4 {Sacred Foundry} 4 {Clifftop Retreat} 2 {Slayer's Stronghold} 5 {Plains} 7 {Mountain} 22 lands 3 {Frontline Medic} 4 {Boros Elite} 4 {Legion Loyalist} 2 {Spark Trooper} 4 {Hellrider} 4 {Silverblade Paladin} 3 {Ash Zealot} 2 {Lightning Mauler} 26 creatures 4 {Searing Spear} 1 {Ajani, Caller of the Pride} 4 {Boros Charm} 3 {Gather the Townsfolk} 12 other spells

From what is provided, minus the mana base, (which is something I recommend working towards before investing into expensive nonland cards, a good manabase is the start of a good deck!) I'd make these changes personally. Seeing as how you want to have your Batallion going, I'd say gear this deck more towards full on Aggro. Also possibly look into {Firemane Avenger}, she could simply replace your {Spark Trooper}s. Being able to {Lightning Helix} every turn rather than just once doesn't seem half bad. This is kinda what I've been trying to do with my girlfriends Boros Humans, it was a midrange deck with not near enough power for the title, so we're trying to make it more aggressive. We're also looking at {Gore-House Chainwalker}, he's not bad! I'd also look into {Champion of the Parish}, he's an amazing 1-drop for Humans.
