Boros Mice and Rabbits Aggro
StandardDeck Strategy
A fast Boros aggro deck that goes wide with cheap Mice and Rabbits, pumps them with lords, and uses burn to clear the way and finish.
Mabel, Heir to Cragflame pumps other Mice and creates Cragflame when she dies, turning any creature into a threat. Manifold Mouse generates Treasures that can be sacrificed to grow it, and it also gets pumped by Mabel. Warren Warleader pumps other Rabbits and creates Rabbit tokens when attacking, while Burrowguard Mentor and Seasoned Warrenguard are Rabbits that benefit from the pump and create more tokens. Clarion Conqueror pumps your whole team. Enduring Courage and Enduring Innocence give your attacking creatures extra power and life. Lightning Strike, Shock, Abrade, and Lightning Helix clear blockers and can finish the opponent.
Keep hands with 2-3 lands, at least one 1-drop or 2-drop creature, and a mix of creatures and burn. Mulligan hands with too many lands or no early action. Avoid keeping hands with multiple expensive cards like Enduring Courage or Clarion Conqueror if you don't have early plays.
Early: Deploy 1-drops like Ravine Raider and Pawpatch Recruit. Use Shock and Lightning Strike to remove early blockers. Mid: Play 2-drops like Burrowguard Mentor, Seasoned Warrenguard, and Manifold Mouse. Use Mabel to pump your Mice and Warren Warleader to pump your Rabbits and go wide. Use Abrade and Lightning Helix to clear the way. Late: Finish with Clarion Conqueror, Enduring Courage, or an equipped creature with Cragflame. Use burn to close out the game.
Vulnerable to board wipes like Depopulate. Can run out of gas if the opponent stabilizes. Mana base is basic-heavy and can lead to color screw, though Evolving Wilds helps. Struggles against control decks with lots of removal and counterspells.
