Boros Smack Attack!

[Slaga slasha]

Boros Smack Attack! 60 cards, 0 sideboard 4 {Boros Guildgate} 10 {Mountain} 8 {Plains} 22 lands 4 {Ash Zealot} 4 {Boros Elite} 4 {Daring Skyjek} 4 {Legion Loyalist} 4 {Rubblebelt Maaka} 4 {Skyknight Legionnaire} 2 {Tajic, Blade of the Legion} 26 creatures 4 {Aurelia's Fury} 4 {Boros Charm} 4 {Skullcrack} 12 other spells Sideboard Notes: This is a deck I built for a tournament my friends want to do. It is only cards from the Return to Ravnica block (so no Ms). I've actually played it a bit and it gets results. Any suggestions? I only don't have the {Sacred Foundry}s in because I'm working on a budget.

And possibly  {Stromkirk Noble} if you are going for speed

But boros is kinda designed to be fast. And they would never get playtime in a deck running  {Ash Zealot}.

Oh I forgot to explain the mechanic! If you look at my deck, i have A LOT of haste cards. There are two ways I can use these to my advantage. The first is your classic agro, beat the crud out of them in as few turns as possible. My second mechanic is what I like to call "Suprise!". It's where I put out a couple cards with battalion. Lets say I have a {Daring Skyjek} and a {Tajic, Blade of the Legion} out. In my hand I hold: {Ash Zeolot} {Legion Loyalist} and for fun a {Madcap Skills} and a {Boros charm}. With these cards I can seal the fate of the match in two turns. First, I play {Legion Loyalist} and swing for14 trample. Already they will take about 8-10 with good blocks. If the have a destroy all, I Boros charm. Next turn. Maybe one blocker left on the field. I play {Ash Zeolot} so that I get more dangerous even if they killed something last turn. I then mad cap and swing for game. I've done this with many different cards in many scenarios and 2/3 times I win the game then.

{Aurelia, the Warleader}

while I do love her, she honestly seems to slow down the deck. The only thing I could replace would be the blood rush card, but even then that's 5 damage to a flying card that almost has a garented hit. She just isn't worth the mana cost here

however much i would love the nobles, I can only use cards from the Return block in the games we want to play. But for FNM ill probly use them.

Miracle terminus............hue

Terminus isn't in the Return block so I won't have to deal with it. Second time someone didn't read the note.

The same is true for  {Aurelia, the Warleader}

If you want to play aggro i would cut all 4 drops And replace them with 1 and 2 drops.
- 4 {Scorchwalker} (i would play cheaper blood rusch) - 4 helix - 4 {Spark Trooper}
-4 legion loyalist (there are better 1 drops than this)
+ 4  {Dryad Militant} +4 {Rakdos Cackler} +4  {Frontline Medic} (it's a 3 drop but necessary in late games) +4 {Firefist Striker} +3 removal/bloodrush ({Mizzium Mortars}, {Rubblebelt Maaka}, {Mugging}, {Act of Treason})

I did change it a little. What I saw you suggesting was a deck that I think would have to kill the enemy in the first 3 turns or deal with creatures and spells to powerful for them. But you did have a point: the deck had too many 4 drops. So I added the Maaka and Aurelia's Fury to speed up and improve the possibilities of the deck. But on you point about the loyalist, there really isn't a better 1 drop for a battalion deck. The loyalist has presence even in late game. And I added in  {Skullcrack} because I just remembered how much I hate prevents.

Ok... Supreme verdict........huehuehue

[whitedrake]

 I guess he wants to avoid {Supreme Verdict} by  {Boros Charm}...

Anyway even with your strategy I would add  {Boros Reckoner}... and  {Legion's Initiative} as a 2 off could be ok as well...

Edit: ok now I noticed that you are working on budget...
