I'm not sure where to do this but I want this deck to be standard legal when Gatecrash comes out, so I'll start here. If its the wrong place I hope a mod will move it where it needs to go :D Anyways, I want to try something new and after reading a couple of the spoilers for Gatecrash, such as Boros Charm, I am thinking I would like to try and make a Boros aggro style deck. I currently own some silverblades  , ash zealot  s, vexing devil  s and a playset of Tibalt  . Now the reason I'm crowd sourcing is because this is very unfamiliar territory for me as I don't know many cards in the red catagory. So if anyone could just point me in the right direction, I'll be very appreciative. As I said I just hope that gatecrash is in mind with your suggestions.

It's going to be difficult to give much advice without knowing exactly what Gatecrash is offering, but I'll see what I can do. Ash Zealot  and Vexing Devil  are strong aggro cards, as is Silverblade Paladin  . I don't know if I would run Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded , though. Hellrider  is worth considering. Obviously, you'll need some burn spells like Searing Spear  and Pillar of Flame  . As I recall, a card called Skyknight Legionaire  is being reprinted, and if I remember correctly, it's a 3-drop with flying and haste. That may be worth trying as well.

I saw a couple r/b decks at the last FNM and they both used tibalt. As odd of a fit he was, he helped them get the cards they needed. So i want to try him out. Pzbw, wouldn't wild guess  or desperate ravings  be a better draw card?

Those two just trade cards and neither is even playable with an otherwise empty hand. I don't want to cycle cards, I want to re-load. Dangerous Wager is useful with an otherwise empty hand. It provides an actual benefit, two cards for one.

You would want to cast Dangerous Wager when you've run out of gas. It doesn't take long; I've never really had to hold it long. I did once draw both but those things happen to me. I think that's the only time I've ever discarded a card with it.

Alright, so what I have put together as a start is: Creatures 274 Vexing Devil 4 Silverblade Paladin 4 Skyknight Legionnaire  4 Champion of the Parish  4 Reckless Waif  4 Ash Zealot 3 Boros Reckoner  Planeswalker 33 Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded Spell 124 Boros Charm  4 Searing Spear 4 Pillar of Flame Land 222 Slayers' Stronghold  12 Mountain 8 Plains I got to get some of the double lands but for now this is what I have. I want to try out Boros Reckoner to see how he does. Anyone have any suggestion for something better than Reckless Waif though? Any other spells I should try? Right now I'm kinda going for a low CMC curve but if anyone has anything that would improve upon or establish a better win condition for this deck, I'm open to suggestions

Alright so this is what I have now. Getting a quick win is pretty easy. But I'm finding on average that if I don't have a win by turn 5/6, my deck stalls out. So I need some help with some ideas for midrange turns. 27 creatures 2 Champion of the Parish 4 Ash Zealot 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Stromkirk Noble  2 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben  4 Silverblade Paladin 4 Skyknight Legionnaire 2 Reckless Waif 1 Rakdos Shred-Freak  3 planeswalker 3 Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded 6 spells 4 Boros Charm 2 Devil's Play  24 Land 3 Sacred Foundry  3 Clifftop Retreat  2 Slayers' Stronghold Mountain  Plains  -I intend to get 2 more captains, removing the reckless waif perhaps. -I need some advice on spells. I don't really know what to add. I see alot of searing spears and pillars in other like decks. I'm thinking of maybe getting a couple of furies  . -Any creature suggestions for past turn 5? -And yes this is just what I have got put together for the time being. I've been reserved about buying cards only to find out they're not a good fit. So as always, I look forward to suggestions.
