Here's my first attempt at the deck:
Boros Tokens
Creatures 2 Selfless Cathar 3 Heliod's Pilgrim 4 Akroan Crusader 9 cards Other Spells 4 Annihilating Fire 4 Lightning Strike 4 Inferno Fist 4 Raise the Alarm 4 Triplicate Spirits 3 Massive Raid 2 Ethereal Armor 2 Fortify 2 Madcap Skills 29 cards |
Lands 6 Mountain 6 Plains 4 Boros Guildgate 4 Radiant Fountain 2 Evolving Wilds 22 cards
Sideboard
3 Gods Willing 4 Keening Apparition 3 Pacifism 1 Fortify 3 Hopeful Eidolon 1 Rootborn Defenses 15 cards |
While I haven't done a lot of testing, thus far I've been pleased with the results. It relies on 16 burn spells, with Inferno Fist doing double-duty as an Enchantment. It's only got 8 Enchantments total for value with Heliod's Pilgrim, but the combination of Madcap Skills, Ethereal Armor, and Inferno Fist seem to be quite strong. Akroan Crusader gets tokens going fairly quickly, backed up with Raise the Alarm and Triplicate Spirits. Selfless Cathar and Fortify allow the tokens to get big for a massive swing, and Massive Raid can be a powerful finisher. The Sideboard is even less tuned, but gives the deck some more defensive options and answers against specific threats. Pacifism and Hopeful Eidolon are particularly nice, since they can be searched up with Heliod's Pilgrim.
Like I said, it's a pretty rough list thus far, and definitely needs some refining. So I'd love to hear what changes you'd make to the deck. Let me know in the comments below. Thanks!
I like this deck! My own Boros Tokens deck had a recurrent consistency problem, often not drawing token generators enough. With Burn and Heliod's Pilgrim you have less dead spells through the game. Unfortunately, Hopeful Eidolon (or any bestow creature) can't be tutored with the Pilgrim, for not being aura cards until you cast them for the alternative cost.
