Title: Boros Aggro Soldiers

I would run something like the following for the Ally/Sliver/Soldier face off. Lots of low cost aggro in Red/White plus a spot of removal.

4 x Boros Recruit
4 x Boros Swiftblade
4 x Hearthfire Hobgoblin
4 x Elite Vanguard
4 x Veteran Swordsmith
4 x Field Marshall

3 x Lightning Helix (or possibly Lightning Bolt)
3 x Path to Exile (or Swords to Plowshares)
3 x Glory of Warfare (highest CMC in the deck - if you have this out and your opponent has no answer, you probably win)
4 x Rally the Righteous (is a horrible trick to pull on someone, but can backfire)
3 x Disenchant (or Oblivion Ring if you're really worried about Planeswalkers)

4 x Boros Garrison (compacting your mana base should be OK due to the amount of cheap stuff in the deck)
4 x Sacred Foundry
4 x Daru Encampment
6 x Plains
2 x Mountain

Needs some more thought about a sideboard. May also swap out the Swordsmiths for something cheaper, but when you have a lot of double strikers the extra power is great.

put the rally the righteous's into a sideboard and put 4 lightning bolts in.
any deck using red should have a playset of lightning bolts :P

MorbidAnimosity- I already mentioned Lightning Bolts in the deck list :)

I'd rather keep the Rallys in the deck because they make a really nasty finisher when you have 5 or 6 soldiers in play with like 1 power each and your opponent decides not to block - play Rally and they're staring down a ton of damage, especially from the double strike brigade.

EDIT: May consider Master Warcraft as a finisher :)

It would be a great finisher. It would even get past Crystalline Sliver
