Boros Midrange

Want to share my awesome Boros-Brew with you.

Feel free to discuss and critizise the deck.

I wasn't able to test this enough, but it should do pretty well in the current meta. Only matchup that I'm ot sure about is Control.

TURN 1:
Play tapped lands. Ideally Temple of Triumph to scry.

TURN 2:
Either pass the turn and use Magma Jet to scry OR set up your offense with Legion's Initiative OR stall with Frostburn Weird.

TURN 3:
Either Boardwipe with Anger of the Gods OR build your offense with Reckoner / Chandra's Phoenix OR set up your game with Hammer of Purphoros. The more devotion you can get, the better.

TURN 4+:
Keep playing threats.

COMBOS:
Legion's Initiative -> Boros Reckoner -> Anger Of the Gods
Purphoros + Elspeth OR Assemble the Legion OR Hammer
Purphoros + Nontoken Creatures + Legion's Initiative
Devotion + Fanatic Of Mogis + Legion's Initiative
Devotion + Nykthos + Manasinks (Purphoros, Monstrosity, Aurelia's Fury, Overloaded Mortars)

Why Elspeth?:
For Versatility.
1. Produces 1/2 tokes with Legion's Initiative.
2. Comboes with Purphoros.
3. Functions as back-to-back massremoval with Anger of the Gods.

Why Assemble the Legion?:
1. Doesn't die to Hero's Downfall or Dreadbore.
2. Produces 2/2 Haste tokens with Legion's Initiative.
3. Comboes with Purphoros.

Why Ember Swallower?:
1. Eats Bloodbarons and Smiters for breakfast.
2. Can cripple enemy-manabase through monstrosity (good vs control).
3. Devotion to red x2.

Why Frostburn Weird?:
1. Only good 2-drop with Anger of the Gods in the Maindeck.
2. Devotion to red x2.
3. Very strong blocker early. Can still swing for a lot of damage or trade with bigger creatures.

Why Legion's Initiative?:
1. Another 2-drop that doesn't die to Anger Of the Gods.
2. Many functions: Gives haste, dodges boardwipes, retriggers ETB-effects etc.
3. +1 Power to all creatures. +1 Toughness to Reckoner. +1 Devotion to red.

Why Magma Jet?:
Necessary evil. It's the glue that keeps everything together.
1. You NEED something on turn 2 BADLY. 6 cards ain't enough!
2. Let's you scry to set up turns 3 and 4.
3. Can be used as a combat-trick or in combination with Anger of the Gods.
4. Gets back Chandra's Phoenix.

Why Chandra's Phoenix?:
1. Recurring threat.
2. 3 damage to the face with Legion's Initiative OR trades with Nightveil Specters.
3. Devotion to red x2.
