Deck Description

Wanted to make something that was fast to play utilizing battalion. I came up with this deck to see how well it can do. It's for standard play. Using the cards that were available to me. Any constructive advice would be nice. Thinking about putting in some boros elites, boros mastiffs or Court Street Denizens.

How to Play

Get out as many creatures as fast as possible for the battalion to trigger. Use Boros charms for any of the abilities. Arrows of Justice to hold off larger creatures. Act of treasons to use whatever they bring out to use for the battalion to trigger. Mad cap skills to allow your army to attack without being blocked/dying. Anglic Edicts for the larger creatures you can't handle.

Consider throwing in some Frontline Medics for their indestructible battalion.

If you're trying to get out as many creatures for batallion as quickly as possible you will want to run 4 boros elite, 4 warmind infantry and all those really small creatures. Even run creatures like stromkirk noble and vexing devil as other great one drops. Take out the arrows of justice for searing spears or mizzium mortars and add assemble the legion for any late game action.

Yeah I thought about that. But, most of those cards are gonna be replaced in six months or less. I was thinking about a deck that would last a little longer in standard play. All depending on what is coming with M14 then this deck will change around a lot. So, stromkirks, searing spears, vexing devils, hellriders and stromwight can't be in the deck. I was thinking about side boarding assemble the legion and warminds. thanks for the input.

Yeah Boros Elite and the Legion Loyalist are great for getting cards out quickly. I'm also a big fan of Thatcher Revolt when running Battalion as it means you can instantly fulfill the conditions.

Take a lot at my Boros Human Deck? It has a different feel to yours but you might see something you like:
