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.
