    Also most 40 cards deck typically run about 7-9 card draw, because Blood Frenzy is so strong though warrior is an exception... So you could possibly get away with just the 4 frenzy and nothing else.. If it feels like it's enough that's fine you don't have to change it... Although there are a couple options you may want to consider. Fleetfooted Messenger is pretty good especially if you run The Kings Pride... It's very good for Boris because typically there is an upper limit to the number of cards you want to sacrifice in most games. Once you reach the point where you are playing 2 cards a turn on most turns if you continue to sacrifice you run out of cards... Unless you have a way to draw even more cards than just blood frenzy. So in most games you probably don't want to go past 7-8 resources especially if you only have blood frenzy. This is what makes Fleet Footed Messenger valuable. So maybe you have a hand full of removal like crippling blows etc but nothing to use it on, but you need hand space to continue drawing cards... Fleet footed messenger lets you shuffle those into your deck for future use so you don't have to sacrifice ^.^ also he can help you find blood frenzy.

    Other options include Bad Santa which has fantastic synergy with retreat... You send an ally back to your opponents hand and in the best case scenario their hand is already nearly full so they don't get to draw cards from bad Santa. If you run kristopher the wild bad Santa is even more valuable. Turn 1 kristopher, turn 2 bad Santa draw to full. When playing second you will overdraw for 1 but that is fine, as long as your opponent plays nothing on turn 2 they don't get much from it.

    These are probably your best two options. Tainted Oracle is maybe your next best choice but if you already have blood frenzy in play he's usually worthless until very late in the game simply because your hand will be too full.

    In any case two bad Santa or two oracle should be enough, maybe 3 if you run a deck with kristopher... I know I've mentioned kristopher quite a bit... Just for clarification kristopher is not necessarily worth including in all or even most decks... Lots of Boris decks are better without him. He does fit into the Aggro archetype quite well and is good in conjunction with the Kings Pride and bad Santa. Fleet footed messenger can still be good even if you don't run the Kings Pride but I would definitely consider other options if not using TKP
