Standard Deck Archetype- Boros Tokens

Welcome young planeswalker. Today we will prepare for a tournament scene on the planet Earth. We can expect to see a very wide range of mages at this tournament. Some will have incredible power at their disposal and others will be making their first appearance. More seasoned mages will have the stronger decks having the extra money to purchase the needed spells to complete their spell tombs. Now I bring this up to you today young planeswalker to show you a possible spell tomb that you could have some fun with at the tournament scene. It is a red and white spell tomb with creatures that can come out of the wood work as it were.

With out further ado, lets take a look at what I am talking about shall we?

Battle Hymn Burn at the Stake Bonfire of the Damned

Boros Populations 

This young walker isn't the strongest of spell tombs, I will admit that much but it can prove to be a handful if not dealt with. If used in the right order, a potential turn four to turn six victory. This would require the use of Battle Hymn and getting Burn at the Stake to combo off together with only eight creatures on the battle field. Intangible Virtue can provide a simple beat down strategy if you are unable to find Burn at the Stake in time. When things don't seem to go your way, using the sideboard of extra spells can provide a way to help deal with possible threats others have. There is a sort of extra Burn at the Stake in the sideboard you can use in the form of Bonfire of the Damned.

Rootborn Defenses Boros Charm

A Stake for Lost Souls

It is a very low costing spell tomb over all and doesn't need a lot of mana to get going. Being red and white, you have access to burn spells as well as removal like Oblivion Ring. When doing battle with this tomb at your side, don't be afraid to charge into battle. Rootborn Defense and Boros Charm will keep your army from death. Will you take command of the Boros population and test your luck at the tournament? How well will you do or will you take another spell tomb to the big battle? The choice is yours.....
