Deck overview

This Boros aggressive deck uses Aurelia, the Law Above to turn wide creature attacks into continuous card advantage and table-wide life drain. The deck curves low-cost token generators like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and Hero of Bladehold into a turn 4 Aurelia, triggering extra card draw upon attacking with three creatures and draining each opponent for 3 life when attacking with five or more. Equipment and enchantment tutors find crucial support pieces like Shadowspear, Windcrag Siege, and Helm of the Host. While primarily winning through overwhelming combat damage and burn triggers by turn 7, the list carries a potent infinite combat line using Helm of the Host attached to Aurelia, the Warleader. Protection pieces like Grand Abolisher, Flawless Maneuver, and Boros Charm keep key attackers safe during critical combat steps.
