Deck Description

I really appreciate all feedback, even if I don't make the changes you recommend I do think about it and that can only make the deck better!

A R/W human Boros deck. It’s a play on white weenie with a lot of cheap creatures with the aim to get them out on the table and doing a lot of damage quickly. Valorous Stance protects from over extending and Blade Historian lands the final blow!

The sideboard especially is still a work in progress so would particularly appreciate feedback on that front!

Deck discussion for Standard: Boros Humans

I do think Blade Historian is cool, and quite good, but I find in many standard white weenie decks that it's better for your dudes to be bigger rather than have keywords. I would cut 2 Blade Historian for 2 more Intrepid Adversary. I would also cut 1 Sacred Fire and 1 Chaplain of Alms for 2 more Rally the Ranks. Personally I would play Bereaved Survivor over Rem Karolus, but that's just my personal preference.

So, if I were to build this;
-2 Blade Historian
-1 Sacred Fire
-1 Chaplain of Alms

+2 Intrepid Adversary
+2 Rally the Ranks

You could always sideboard Bereaved Survivor and see if you ever want to bring it in for certain match-ups.

Thank you so much for your feedback, and I'm sorry its taken me a week to reply.

I agree about keywords generally, but not double strike. I've played a variation (I'm still drafting wild cards) on this deck on arena a lot, and Blade Historian wins matches when he hits the table. Because I run so few lands, Intrepid Adversary is far less effective than him.

However one card I've not yet got, is Rally the Ranks, so I'm open to that being a card I want a full playset of. I'm unlikely to drop a Chaplain for it - I already run less one drops then I'd ideally like in this deck, but would be open to taking out a Sacred Fire and an Ambitious Farmhand for them.

Bereaved Survivor in the side deck isn't a bad suggestion though. I tried running it in my main deck, but it so rarely flipped - and even when it did it often died making an attack. However in a side deck against a creature heavy/removal light deck it could be effective.
