It feels like it's got a little potential, and would definitely be fun. Any thoughts?
I've always liked Manabarbs. It would seem to go nicely into RDW or Boros where the strategy is to get out to an early lead, drop the Barbs, and dare them to cast anything.
While Personal Sanctuary would combo somewhat with Barbs, it seems cute rather than workable. If Boros does its thing and starts off strong, a Barbs alone should be enough to win without PS.
Grand Abolisher is a really interesting card, but maybe not in Boros. Against control, where he would be a real consideration, is our real concern the permission or the removal (mass or point)? My guess is that while GA works well against permission, he would simply be removed during their turn. If they had to use up one of their Doom Blades, well then that's one that didn't hit a true beater, but chances are they would just use Day of Judgment or Black Sun's Zenith and he hasn't done anything.

I haven't put a list together, but it looks like it could work.
