Interesting situation with Boros you have there. I am not sure if I will be much help but I will offer up my Tajic decklist (in signature) if you would like to see somewhat of a unique idea. I combine Earthquake effects with indestructible and protection from red creatures.
I run a U/W Flicker/Blink dead led by Lavinia of the Tenth. She can frustrate opponents if I get her and a blink engine going. I have considered moving to Roon recently, so I am glad to see this discussion on the Flicker Rhino. After the major consensus here of Roon being too slow, I think I will keep my Flicker deck U/W. Saves money on expanding my land base too.
I am currently running Aven Mindcensor in my 1v1 Uril deck... with some degree of success. Stopped a Karador player from searching for Sac effects and stopped another from using fetch lands.
I wanted to make a Tajic EDH deck with early Indestructible/Protection from Red Guys to trigger battalion and plenty of Earthquake Effects to clear the way. Definitely not meant to be super-competitive, but I was striving for unique, fun and on-theme.
Commander: Tajic, Blade of the Legion.
Activate Battalion: Protection from Red Dudes like: Silver Knight and Soltari Priest. En-Kor chumps like: Warrior En-Kor.
Clear the Path for Battalion with cards like: Earthquake, Fault Line, Magmaquake, Pyrohemia (EDIT).
Some Equipment, White Spot removal for Flyers, Artifacts and Enchantments. Maybe some anthem effects like Marshal's Anthem and Legion's Initiative. And of course sweepers for reset buttons.
Using my current collection, here is what I started with. Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
If I can protect Palisade Giant (with a Sword, 8.5 Tails, or a myriad of other Protection items) with Gideon on the field, I can usually have Gideon's ultimate read to go within a few turns. Of course my meta is full of creature and token decks so it makes it that much easier.
If you want to compare, a link to my Eight-and-a-Half deck is in my signature.
the glimpse of the sun god, however, i see as a non-damaging aurelia's fury and could be a possibility for someone looking for a little more control to clear the way for an attacking kaalia and company. i doubt i'd use it as fury is enough, but it's another option out there.
Honestly, if you are just looking to clear the path for one turn, I would probably recommend Order // Chaos over both of those options (Especially with Sunforger builds). If you are needing the semi-Silence effect however, Aurelia's Fury is probably the better option.
I prefer black border except in my mono white edh deck with white Dragon Sleeves. White border look really good in those.
I must admit that I took a sharpie to a couple of white borders (and gold borders lol) to make them look more at home with darker color sleeves.
The two cards pictured here were white bordered and in not very good condition. The white border on these were heavily played (looked like a bad mildew experiment) but the sharpie brought them back to life.
Some Equipment, White Spot removal for Flyers, Artifacts and Enchantments. Maybe some anthem effects like Marshal's Anthem and Legion's Initiative. And of course sweepers for reset buttons.
Would it work? What are other possible "must haves"?
Good luck in your search for new Boros tech!
Good luck!

Right on target here... Not a fan of including this for Uril.

With what I already had in mind, plus the ideas in these posts, I believe I can easily fill the 99 card roster.
