This is a Gateless card. The flavor text is referring to the Gateless.
The flavour text is a BOROS soldier comparing the Gateless to the Rakdos. The art shows said soldier blowing away a Rakdos cultist of some sort.

There is absolutely no reason for a Boros soldier to refer to the Gateless in your context.
This is a Gateless dude blowing away a Rakdos dude and a Boros dude referring to the Gateless in response.

Look at the soldier, everything about his attire screams Boros. Referring to the gateless does make sense since it's a rising conflict, he's thinking "Oh man, Rakdos again? At least the Gateless are fighting for a cause, this is just violence for the sake of violence.

On second thought, you're right; the armor looks like Sunhome Guildmage's. The tone of the flavor text is weird to me, since in the way I read it it looked like a badass battle between a gateless and rakdos agents, but in the right way to read it it sounds like a boros agent dismembering a rakdos agent and sounding midly exasperated while doing it. Exasperation, to me, seems like a psychotic response to chopping someone up into little bits for some reason. Are the boros actually that insane??

I'd rather have smite  in boros, and gruul probably doesn't need it (except against gruul, in which case watch out for bloodrush blowout). I'm waiting for the reverse smite card (destroy target blocking creature for :r  but this was sadly not it.

I disagree... it's the Rakdos that are psychotic. This reads to me more like the Boros guy had to kill the Rakdos psycho, and he's talking about it later... maybe even a little shaken... like "Christ, these Rakdos cultists are just... just insane killers for killing's sake! *shudder* Say what you want about the Guildless - they may not share our ideals, but at least they HAVE ideals!"
