3 x stromkirk noble
3 x doomed traveler
4 x stormblood berserker
3 x incinerate
4 x lingering souls
3 x midnight haunting
3 x oblivion ring
3 x chandra's phoenix
3 x hero of bladehold
4 x hellrider
2 x elspeth tirel
2 x urubrask the hidden
8 x mountain
7 x plains
1 x isolated chapel
3 x dragonskull sumit
4 x clifftop retreat

Side Board
3 x mirran crusader

Well, you have a lot of good cards in there, and your mana curve is solid. I think the only issue is that it seems like a slightly jumbled version of a token deck. Take out the red and add green cards like parallel lives mayor of avabruck etc. and you have a token deck. I would try and condense the theme of your deck. I feel like it lacks synergy. But the only way to tell is to play test.

Boros is fun. Arc Trail over Incinerate . Everything below is my personal opinion, but Incin should really be Trail.

Have you had any trouble reliably getting the black Flashback requirement for Lingering Souls ? Because if you don't draw that black mana source, you're stuck with... a worse Midnight Haunting , I guess. I mean, no lie, Souls is nuts, but I wonder if maybe if you would have more consistency if you just cut it for more burn. Galvanic Blast or Gut Shot work.

I don't like really like Urabrask the Hidden here. You're not getting a huge value out of him since he sits at the top of curve and he's basically just setting you up for next turn at best. My thinking is, best case scenario, you drop Ura turn 5 and you're holding a Hero in your hand so when you drop her next turn she'll be haste-y, but realistically you could have dropped the Hero this turn and achieved almost the same result, while having one spare mana for, I dunno, Galvanic Blast or something. Or some other one-drop you just top decked.

I mean, I hate to just suggest HERP DERP TITAN instead, but... Herp Derp Titan. Devil's Play might also make a decent finisher in Ura's place.

Just my two cents:
-2 Ura
-4 Lingering Souls
-3 Incinerate

+1 Traveler
+1 Noble
+4 Arc Trail
+3 Galv Blast (or maybe Gut)

one of the things that i was trying to do iwth this deck was abuse hellrider's ability, so i need to keep red in the deck.  thats also the reason for making it token heavy.

What about Gather the Townsfolk instead.  Splashing for that black just seems like a waste.

I second the opnion on the Hidden.  You dont want anymore 5 drops than you absolutely need.  Hidden seems only usefull in decks that can cheat him in early.  Compare his come into play benefit to that of your other 5 drop.  No comparison.

I like the deck idea though.  Looks like a blast to play.

another card that i thought of putting in today was curse of stalked prey .  it would act like any of the token pump spells or honor the pure.

perhaps consider pyreheart wolf ? i dont like it since it doesnt have haste. but since it has undying if you use the enchantment, it allows them all more likely to hit.

You know, I don't hate that idea. It's not a super great card, but it's a fun concept.

If I were to make a deck like this for FNM or something, I might do something like this:

4 x Champion of the Parish
4 x Reckless Waif
4 x Gather the Townsfolk
4 x Stormblood Berserker
4 x Midnight Haunting
4 x Hellrider
2 x Increasing Devotion

3 x Geistflame
4 x Arc Trail
3 x Oblivion Ring


Then probably a couple Swords or Devil's Play and something like 22 lands or so. Maybe some stuff to consider.

Seems like a possibility..maybe i'll slap this build together just to test.
