I love these new additions the most.

3x Fortify

This is my only complaint. I'd rather have the Rally the Righteous in here, for the sole reason is that it untaps my stuff. Sure, the downside is that your opponent's red/white creatures get boosted too, but with so many first strike and double strike cards, it shouldn't matter much. Also, the untaping would go well with the Stun Snipers you added in. 

My only other complain would be about Baneslayer Angel . I think we just have seen Baneslayer appear too much in various white decks between 2013 and 2012. I'd like to see white decks have other options for big creatures than just the standard go-to of Baneslayer. (Not that I don't like Baneslayer or think that it shouldn't be in the decks we have, but I'd like to see some more variety). 

I don't like Rally the Righteous , specially four of them. I was thinking of Bold Defense , but Fortify has more flavor to aggro, but you are right with more creatures with First Strike/Double Strike it can be a good addition, specially with Stun Sniper . I missed the potencial.

As for Baneslayer , I know it was used to exhaustion, but it has first strike, lifelink and is cheap for its power. So it cannot be out for any reason.

The original deck only needs card advantage (red and white combined are the worst colors for this), a little more removal for creatures with toughness 4 or greater, and a way to deal with at least enchantments, if not both artifacts and enchantments.

I nominate Gaze of Justice and Orim's Thunder .

I think Stun Sniper , Wrath of God , and a second Faith's Fetter is enough.

My preferred addition was Goldnight Commander instead of Flame-Kin Zealot . It is easier to cast, even if slower, but it is reusable. It has a great potencial to combo with Mentor of the Meek or better yet with Rise of the Hobgoblins for a huge army.

Okay.. but you also said you tried to change the deck as little as possible, and then changed 21 cards and added an additional 10 promos. It makes more sense to add just a handful of promo unlocks that deal with the most obvious shortcomings and also combine well with the existing cards.

It wouldn't have worked very well, because there is a flaw in the core deck. Few low cost effective creatures in dealing damage and ways to push damage through blockers.

And my Promo Unlock list is just a bonus.

The reason they chose alot of the cards in the deck was because they are Boros cards. I see you don't think much of the veteran armourers and brightflame but they were in the Boros set and radiance was the Boros mechanic so it makes sense to have these cards in a Boros deck.

I like your changes but I also like the existing deck too - sure they could have made it stronger but it's pretty fun and competitive

So why Selenya, Rakdos, Azorius, Dimir and others do not have mechanics from the original ravnica set? Just curious.
