    [Deck] Boros Deck Wins

    Hi, I'm a new poster but I lurked this forum for quite a long time..
    please forgive my english, 'cause I'm from Italy.

    I'd like to post my boros deck list with card by card analysis,
    because I belive that Boros deck can actually WIN in legacy.

    please feel free to comment (or to demonstrate that boros will never be competitive!)

    ok, let's start:

    4 Lightning Helix
    4 Lightning Bolt
    4 Magara of Corondor
    2 Umezawa's Jitte
    2 Isamaru, hound of Konda
    4 Goblin Legionnaire
    4 Savannah Lions
    4 Mogg Fanatic
    4 Silver Knight
    2 Jotun Grunt
    2 Char
    4 Knight of Meadowgrain

    4 Plateau
    4 Sacred Foundry
    3 karakas
    3 Flagstones of Trokair
    6 Fetchlands

    SB:
    4 Tormod's crypt
    4 Orim chant
    4 Swords to Plowshares
    3 Cryoclasm


    now card by card:

    4 Lightning Helix
    4 Lightning Bolt
    2 Char

    Looks to me like a good burn base.
    i really love Helix, bolt is an auto 4 of and about char..
    i love it when It brings Jotun, Werebear, shades &co to the 'yard.
    notice that i play in a MASSIVE aggro meta.
    Lot of White Weenie, Pikula and Affinity

    4 Magara of corondor
    actually I love Mangara, He (she?) can help me removing every treath,
    while chump blocking and play with karakas to combo.
    sometime I use it to attack (and humiliate my opponent ofc )

    2 Jitte
    This deck is very creatures based, so jitte is an auto include..
    also my meta is full of jitte, so i can use mine to destroy other's.
    (also there is sinergy with karakas)

    2 Isamaru, hound of Konda
    same as above, is just plain a good card and works perfectly with karakas.

    4 Goblin Legionnaire
    I love it, he is Mogg's Big Bro, he is always a threat, auto 4 of in a boros deck.

    4 Savannah Lions
    2/1 for W. Vanilla with Sharp Teeth (tm) !!

    4 Mogg Fanatic
    I just don't know, atm I like them to ista_kill Confidant
    but I think that 2 Javeliners and 2 lava dart would provide card advantage while being more solid. I just don't know..

    4 Silver Knight
    auto 4 of. they survive very good, they are solid and usefull.
    there is a dedicated slot to "drop 2 knight everlasting"..
    I just don't know if I must drop silver knight for Blood Knight, White Knight, Holy Nimbus etc...

    2 Jotun Grunt
    they beat hard, and they are just 2.
    I know, maybe this is not the right choice, maybe this is not a 2X..
    Hope this forum helps!

    4 Knight of Meadowgrain
    Testing them resulted in a lot of "win more" situations.
    they are good, but less reliable. Colour protected knights maybe will be a better choice. Maybe Vial could serve me good too.

    4 Plateau
    4 Sacred Foundry
    3 Karakas
    3 Flagstones of trokair
    6 Fetchlands

    About manabase.. I dropped wastelands: This deck is too much colour dependent.. also i removed 4 molten rain because I'd rather punch my opponent turning my creatures sideway than destroy his manabase.
    flagstones are just a test, while 3 karakas are very good:
    I have to protect myself from cataclysm and sink hole,
    while bouncing opponent's Jitte and my Isamaru back.

    SB:
    Here is where I need help the most.
    my meta is full of pikula, white weenie, with some red burn, solidarity and affinity..
    So I think that cryoclasm, orim and swords to plowshares are just great..

    ------

    About other cards I would like to try but I haven't tested yet:

    -4 Aether vial
    -4 Holy Nimbus/Blood Knight/Black Knight/ any cool drop 2
    -4 Soltary priest (actually I don't like them much..)
    -4 Oblivion Ring (Better than Mangara?? )
    -4 Pillage/molten rain (they look like the best land disrupt)



    also I have to emphasize that I's love to keep my deck as a 2 color deck.
    (so NO please don't tell me how good B for confidant and U for brainstorm are good.. I know it, i just want to make the best Boros deck for my gameplay and my meta)

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions,
    Andrew "Rhino" Rossi.
