For starters, if you want to make it standard, drop Gisela and the Clifftop Retreats. Replace the retreats with Sacred Foundry if you have them, otherwise Temple of Triumph or possibly Boros Guildgate.

If you're gonna use Assemble the Legion, you should run Purphoros, God of the Forge with it.

I would run two Frontline Medics instead of four. Boros is all about aggro, of which the Medic won't help with so much.

I'd drop two Firemane Avengers. It's a nice card, but you don't want to be flooded with them. That puts us to 55 cards.

I'd drop the Boros Elite. It's not that great and it has a hard time standing alone (which, in retrospect, Boros shouldn't be doing at all, but it does happen.) that brings us to 51.

Now to put in:
4 Boros Reckoner (if you have them). It's a fantastic card, both offensively and defensively.
2 Legion Loyalist. Again, awesome card, and it's battalion is one of the best.
3 Madcap Skills. If you ever do aggro that uses red, Madcap is a must. It's amazing :)

thank you very much for your reply. it has made me reconsider some of my decisions. and I agree with almost all of your decisions. even though I am not intensively interested in making this deck standard at this time, as most of the tournaments in my town are legacy, and i can make it type II legal just by switching out three cards.

even though I would really like to put purphoros into this deck, I sadly do not currently have the trading stock, or money to buy/obtain him. and I believe that assemble the legion is a solid card on its own.

I kind of agree with you on your second point, but it is amazing to be able to attack with impunity, so I might remove one, and see how it works.

as for firemane avenger, I see where you are coming from, but in my experience it is fantastic, and almost an assured win if I can attack with this with battalion on turn 5.

and I definitely agree with you on boros elite, I totally agree with you, I have been looking for replacements.

I will try to find some boros reckoners, I think that I can trade for those, I sadly cannot find any more legion loyalists, and don't wish to spend the money right now.

madcap skills....? ehhh... I'm hesitant, especially with switching out frontline medic, and that I can see it killing off my creatures rather quickly, which in this deck, is not a very goood idea. I will try to see if I can find some however, and check them out.

I agree 100% with the Reckoners. If you are finding that you are having issues with Life, Gift of Orzhova would be a great card to throw on a Reckoner. I would also throw Gift of Immortality or Indestructibility on it for constant damage.
