Work in progress... My current attempt at a Boros deck hinging on the power of History of Benalia and the ability to use Rekindling Phoenix and Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice as win conditions. Currently I only own 2 of each of thse 4-drops (first Boros deck) but I may want to increase to 3 of each.
We run a suite of removal with powerful cards like Justice Strike and catch-alls in Conclave Tribunal and look for some reach via Lightning Strike.
Tajic, Legion's Edge + Deafening Clarion will often win on the spot if you can clear a board stall, and even still you can protect Adanto Vanguard (and use the lifesteal from Clarion to regain the health loss) or use Dauntless Bodyguard to protect something and make the clear more one-sided. Meanwhile Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice won't die and Rekindling Phoenix doesn't care too terribly much if you kill it - it would still require a removal spell from the opponent.
In the side board we tailor our removal a bit more: Ixalan's Bindings for planeswalkers/enchantments we want to shut up, Baffling End for powerful and difficult-to-deal-with 3-drops, an additional Deafening Clarion for when we need less spot removal and more sweepers, and Lava Coil to kill 4-hp creatures like Steel Leaf Champion (in replace of clarions). Then an extra Tajic, Legion's Edge for when he really messes with red removal or we want to combo with Clarion.
Currently I'm trying Dire Fleet Daredevil against more control-oriented decks as a way to steal their removal or card draw and generate some value. If they have no creatures we can replace our 3 Justice Strikes with Integrity // Intervention and an extra Lightning Strike for additional face dmg.
Things to consider in the sideboard include more specific artifact/enchantment removal, graveyard hate, or Sorcerous Spyglass. If Carnage Tyrant becomes really popular we might want to toss in a Detection Tower.
I may want to go up to 24 lands? So far not hitting 4 lands on 4 is not a big deal and getting Legion's Landing // Adanto, the First Fort to flip is enough if we get mana screwed.
