Deck discussion for Boros Legion Midrange

This does look like a really nice build for a Boros Midrange. Since you have so many cards that usually require 2 red or white mana, I'd take some Mutavaults out (most likely 2) and if you're willing to add more big creatures, I recrommend Stormbreath Dragon (1 or 2)

Despite the amount of Enchantment creatures you'll sometimes see throughout standard (such as gods), Then I think you'd want to save all copies of Wear / Tear for the sideboard.

You're welcome. Actually in my opinion, I really shouldn't think Mutavault should be the price it is now, or very overrated. Not only does it provide colorless mana, but you only get a 2/2 that only acts as an aggresive creature. Good, but certainly not Brimaz-powerful.

Also, could you check out <a href="http://www.mtgvault.com/hydreigonmuppetmaster/decks/so-if-brimaz-had-hexproof/">my latest deck</a> if you have the time?

Assemble the Legion and Purphoros is a nice combo, not to mention Elspeth. However, I think your pushing a little late in the mid range - especially without any strong early threats.

Legion Loyalist - An amazing one drop. If they hit early they're a useful chump or at the very least a quick one or two damage before they get a threat out. Plus he's disposable enough that if it comes to a trade 1 for 1 it's not crippling. If he drops late and you have the Battalion it can turn the table on the opponent.

Truefire Paladin - A wonderful 2 drop. He's 2 mana for a 2/2 which is standard, but his abilities work brilliantly long term and in the mean time he can be an annoying threat with untapped mana.

Aurelia, The Warleader - I'd suggest reducing her to 1. She's a great asset to get out if you can - but she's such a late drop that I'd keep her in only as a momentary play.
/
Tajic, Blade of the Legion - A much better replacement. He's an earlier drop and a permanent blocker if you need it.

Archangel of Thune - A lovely card, but beyond the Fiendslayer Paladins I don't see a reliable life gain.

Overall I think you'll have real trouble getting the double colour mana needed for most of the cards. If you're going to play mutavaults, maybe take advantage of the battalion abilities a lot of Boros cards have. The Legion Loyalist can help keep them alive in this instance with the added first strike. There's also not enough focus to the deck, there are a lot of good, if not the best cards of their colour in the deck but not enough focus to take advantage of their benefits.
