Deck Description

Something I've been toying with. Based in part on a deck my brother made, but altered to focus on Door of Destinies and Elspeth.

This is just a concept, suggestions are welcome.

This deck could be made standard legal by swapping the Odric, Crusader of Odric, Volt Charge, and Clifftop Retreat out.

How to Play

The goal is to use Door of Destinies, choose the "Soldier" type, and boost all of your creatures and any tokens you create with Elspeth, Precinct Captain, and Assemble the Legion. I think you should have enough other options to work around that if Door of Destinies doesn't come up, but it should fairly often.

Deck discussion for Boros Legion

i feel like boros keyrune can go. maybe add some heroic creatures for martial glory and boros charm to target. i would run 2 odric because i feel running 1 of anything leaves you with too small of a chance to draw it. 4 legion loyalists for the mana curve and cuz it's pretty good once you have a few creatures out or a good 1/1. not trying to bash it at all don't get me wrong. this is just what i would do.

Nah don't worry about it this is definitely a work in progress, I was looking for feedback. I wasn't totally sold on the keyrunes tbh, they were just a last minute addition. I initially had 4 Legion Loyalists in the plan but I decided to cut the number down because I don't want to be drawing them in my opening hand a lot. Sure they're a good card and very cheap, but they're pretty much wasted if I throw them out before I have other stuff on the field... so I dunno. As for Odric... yeah, ideally I'd like 2 but I wasn't totally sure how to fit it. I'd prefer not to go over 60 cards if I can help it, but maybe slightly over wouldn't be too bad...

i always stay at 60. and if you have a couple in your opening hand then it's either more bodies for attacking or chump blockers. neither are a bad idea. but if you can find a way to fit in some heroics like akroan soldier i think it is then you'd be set. foundry champion is good but i feel like the deck would run better without him just cuz you want alot of creatures over big creatures. cruscader is gonna get big enough as is being a 3 drop.

True. I was seduced by Foundry Champion's awesome abilities, but his cost does make him pretty prohibitive with what I'm trying to do. Maybe I'll dump him.

akroan hoplite is another good low drop.

if you wanted a good high drop for an end game auralia is wonderful.

I think I'll dump the bomber corps for those Akroan Hoplites. Bomber corps is a bit underwhelming anyway, I just had it for the cheap factor.

yah. that's probably a good idea. i'm trying to think of any red or white draw spells cuz that would ramp your game a ton but idk any off the top of my head.

Yeah draw would be great, I have those temples for the scry, maybe if I could work in a bit more scry somehow it'd be good enough?

the only reason i'm thinking draw is because you have alot of low drops. if you could draw into and play 2 or 3 in one turn you could easily overwhelm your opponent.

Changed some numbers around to fit in Precinct Captain, and swapped out Arrows of Justice for Volt Charge because the proliferate is awesome in this.
