MTG Salvation

So making a new deck for my wife after she took a liking to one of my Boros decks.

Being has how a lot of folks play broken things in our meta lately, I figure this would fit perfectly.

Here is what I have so far..



Mostly going with the Assemble+Hops, but the Angels+Assemble would go well also in the event Hops is countered or something of the sort.

This isn't the deck for Serra's Blessing. Your creatures already have vigilance to begin with and Assemble doesn't care about speed. Eventually you'll produce enough tokens to kill the table off and you don't need to swing + block to get there. Just sit there and block until you can kill everyone in one attack and/or find a 'Haups.

Gleam of Battle to support a small number of Assemble the Legions is the very definition of "win-more."

What would you suggest fill the spots for Blessing and Gleam?

Was thinking of adding in a few Field Marshal's as well for some support in lieu of the Blessings.

I really don't understand why you're trying to add support cards for Assemble. The entire reason to play with it is because it's a durable threat that eventually wins the game on its own. That's the beauty of it. It doesn't need no help. I strongly encourage you to stop focusing on that aspect of the deck and to focus on things that actually matter. It's completely fine to just sit there and win the game with the 1/1s eventually.

Cards that I would add include more Wraths, more Enchantment-based win conditions (off-the-top of my head I can only think of the 4th Assemble, Luminarch Ascension and maybe Debtors' Knell) and more Armageddons/Wildfires/Destructive Forces. I like the number 6 when it comes to key combo pieces so I'd play at least 6 win conditions, 6 Jokulhaups and probably close to 6 Wraths as well.

Dang..forgot about Luminarch.

Thanks for jogging the memory.
Appreciate the input!

I am currently running a Naya version of this deck:



You can see the development of the deck and the card choices involved in this thread.
I splashed green solely for Predatory Advantage and mana-fixing, but you could do the same quite easily with Boros only.
Some tips:

• Run Remote Farm and Sandstone Needle in your landbase - they ramp you up to Jokulhaups faster. You don't care if they run out of counters - they're going to bite the big one to the 'Haups anyway.
• Obligatory Darksteel Citadel mention. You may want to stick to lands that colour-fix here, but casting 'Haups and continuing with up to four more land on the table than anyone else is made of win (can't say it works too well with Land Tax tho)!
• I highly recommend at least a couple of copies of Oblivion Ring here. You have no enchantment or planeswalker removal currently, and these things live through the 'Haups. Plus you get to watch your mates go "... oh, everything's dead. At least I get my <insert O-Ringed permanent of choice here> back... oh... gnaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgghhhh!!"
