There is nothing I love more then a turn 2 Lightning Mauler in to a turn 3 Silverblade Paladin. Lands 23 4 x Sacred Foundry  4 x Clifftop Retreat  4 x Cavern of Souls  2 x Slayer's Stronghold  5 x Mountain  4 x Plains  Creaures 2 x 7  4 x Champion of the Parish  4 x Boros Elite  4 x Ash Zealot  3 x Lightning Mauler  3 x Frontline Medic  4 x Silverblade Paladin  4 x Hellrider  1 x Zealous Conscripts.  Non Creatures 1 x 0  4 x Boros Charm  4 x Searing Spear  2 x Pillar of Flame  I've been testing this against the B/R aggro with the hellkites and it seems matches go either way. It's all about who gets out their burn and threats first. B/R has it harder on the draw because 8 of their early cards come in to play tapped and 4 of them can't block period. B/R aggro has better finishers then boros seems to have. 4 Aristocrats, 3 Riders, and 3 Hellkites vs. 4 Riders and 1 Conscripts for me. I'm not sold on Firemane Avenger  atm.

I'm pretty sure that you can't bond a Lightning Mauler to a Silverblade Paladin and expect them both to have haste and double strike, if that's what you're getting at with your intro sentence there. Note the soulbond text: "You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield." A turn 2 Ash Zealot getting paired with Silverblade Paladin would give Ash Zealot First Strike and Double Strike though...

Hm, well I guess it does work that way then. Sorry to make you doubt your favorite combo, but the wording seemed to suggest that it didn't work =\.

Then I highly recommend a T2 Loxodon Smiter into a T3 Rancor+souldbond to Silverblade.

I'll do
-4 Zealots
+1 Mauler
+3 Thalia
damn I forgot about Trooper. Conscripts can go out for one but I can't think of anything else.

I really like your list, Im triying to build something similar myself. though im considering other cards such as Odric, Master Tactician  wich is a good finisher IMO, and plays well with the maulers, and for the 2 drop, I love Thalia, shes one of my favourites, but I also like Elite Inquisitor  wich is a solid 2 drop, in case you are having trouble with casting your non creature spells. Luck with your deck :D

I really like Frontline Medic he's a beast. It he gives you more chances to attack care free and I think I want to add another. I don't wanna take out Silverblade for him and I suppose I can loose the Zealot for him.
