Deck Description

Boros deck with plenty of landfall and haste from Goblin Bushwhacker with minimal equip

Sideboard lets you change playstyle from Boros Bushwhacker to Koros Equipment, while keeping the power of landfall.

Turn 1 - Plains, Steppe Lynx
Turn 2 - Mountain, Plated Geopede, Steppe Lynx attacks for 2 (18)
Turn 3 - Arid Mesa, crack it and search for anything, play Ruin Ghost, cast Lightning Bolt (15), attack with 4/5 Steppe Lynx and 5/5 Plated Geopede (9)
Turn 4 - Arid Mesa, crack it and search for anything, use Ruin Ghost's ability to exile a tapped plains, and return it to your field untapped (for more landfall), tap 2 Red for Goblin Bushwhacker for +1 to all your guys, then double cast 2 Emerge Unscathed, so your Steppe Lynx and Plated Geopede have protection from the color(s) of your opponent's blockers. Swing with Steppe Lynx for 7, Plated Geopede for 8, and Goblin Bushwhacker for 2 (-8 life)

Deck discussion for Boros to Koros

Wow, nice standard deck. People on here try to build Standard decks, but they always fail. This is a very nice deck. You need to have Hellspark Elemental though, just think, your about to win the whole game and all the sudden they get one more creature to block. So you throw down sparky with haste and win.

I did have Hellspark Elemental AT FIRST, but decided to drop him. I thought i had enough power. Why?

Turn 1 - Plains, Steppe Lynx
Turn 2 - Mountain, Ruin Ghost
Turn 3 - Arid Mesa, crack it for a Plains, tap that Plains for Ruin Ghost to exile it and return it untapped, use it again to cast Emerge Unscathed, pay your mountain for a lightning bolt (17), swing with your Steppe Lynx that's currently a 6/7 with protection from whatever color you need for a hit (11)
Turn 4 - Emerge rebounds on your steppe lynx, crack another fetch land, play Plated Geopede, use Ruin Ghost's ability, attack for another 6 with protection from the color you need to get a hit (5).


They're already at 5 by end of turn 4. Easy win from there.

Yeah your right. I still love this deck. I need to start building a new deck because I run vamps, and well Nocturnus may be leaving us =( So guess what. I decided to build this. Congrats, I love Boros Bushwhacker and this looks to be a solid deck, I was always taught to look for a turn 5 win, and a good mana base. Plus I have been taught alot about magic through people at my shop who have been on pro tour.

Hahaha, alot of questions you have I see.

First off all. About M11 coming out soon and M10 and alara leaving Standard. That's why you dont see Ranger of Eos in here. I'm prompting for tournaments once M11 and the next expansion get here.

Next, the mana base. I was curious on running either a Teetering Peak or Smoldering Spires. Im trying to go with mainly Fetch lands, because think of this. Teetering Peaks is +2/+0 till end of turn. But an Arid Mesa is, for my landfall guys, a +4/+4 till end of turn, for 1 life. And it doesnt come into play tapped. That's an awesome deal if you ask me.

Finally. the Behemoth Sledge. The side board is some good cards for Koros, correct? Well, read Stoneforge Mystic's ability. You can pay 1W to play ANY equipment card from your hand onto the field. It lets me summon Behemoth Sledge cheaper and without green. Then I can equip for 3 onto a Steppe Lynx or Plated Geopede. Lifelink and Trample is damn sexy if you ask me :3

Ok very nice. I am doing the exact samething you are, build a new deck for the upcoming T2 variant. And the reason I am building Boros is because *whisper* Boros Bushwhacker is the next Jund *whisper*. We where discussing this at my shop.
