Boros
Psst - this was posted

The great thing about the way my pals and I play Magic is that we’re able to build decks with any cards we have laying around, limited only to the 4-of rule. After thinking about some old decks I used to build forever ago, I decided to build a red/white deck built for speed.

Doing some poking around online, I discovered that type of deck is named Boros after a Ravnica guild or something. Here’s the deck:

LAND

  • Plains x11
  • Mountains x9
  • Arid Mesa x3
  • Teetering Peeks x2

CREATURES

  • Steppe Lynx x3
  • Plated Geopede x4
  • Boros Guildmage x2
  • Argus Kos, Wojek Veteran x1
  • Kazandu Blademaster x4
  • Kor Skyfisher x2
  • Goblin Bushwacker x3
  • Elite Vanguard x4

SPELLS

  • Lightning Bolt x4
  • Lightning Helix x4
  • Path to Exile x4

A few thoughts:

  1. I really like Boros Guildmage
  2. Kor Skyfisher is a great combo card to trigger landfall abilities
  3. I have four Char in my collection and am thinking about working them in but am not sure where. Any thoughts?
