i always love decks like these! i always want to try to play Cavalcade of Calamity but never follow through with it.

Surprising not to see Cavalcade of Calamity in a deck that runs both Chandra's Spitfire and Scorch Spitter already. Those 3 cards formed the basis of quite a few early combo decks on Arena when it first came out. The triggers from Cavalcade get absolutely insane with Chandra's Spitfire, particularly with multiple Cavalcades in play and with Scorch Spitter getting double triggers from each one.

Might be something to give a try; you could easily drop that 6-mana Chandra, the Chainwhip Cyclops, and 1 or 2 other cards and toss in 4x Cavalcade of Calamity which would speed up your wins considerably.

Hope this helps!

Hello Renzisherekiddo, I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at my version. I'm still in playtesting but ours are fairly similar.

Mishra's Relentless Horde

I've noticed a lot of players are playing Goblin Engineer. Is this strictly for the Phyrexian Dragon Engine  ^Meld? If the plan is to go wide, is Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Loyal Apprentice, ect. worth the slot even if they only make one token? Wouldn't something like Grave Titan or Death Tyrant be more worthwhile as a continuous engine?

Lastly, I would recommend Raid Bombardmentand/or Cavalcade of Calamity as extra damage on attack plus some sort of "damage cannot be prevented" spell. I'm trying to fit that into mine.

i agree... and Chandra, Acolyte of Flame has honestly always been my favorite chandra walker lol its amazing.... dont tempt me to throw in a Cavalcade of Calamity in here too lol

i was disappointed with Flux Channeler being NONCREATURE spells.... because i thought that was amazing untill i realized that (at least in this current workup) my artifacts are creatures too lol....

That's a neat idea! As your plan basically is creating lots of red tokens and having them deal damage. To make this more effective, you should consider including damage-increasers. Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and cards such as Dictate of the Twin Gods would allow you to maximize your damage, resulting in making your commander more impactful earlier in its growth.

For situations where the board is crowded, ways to transform your token creation into damage. Cards such as Impact Tremors, Electropotence, Raid Bombardment, Cavalcade of Calamity, Goblin Bombardment, Makeshift Munitions, Barrage of Expendables, Weaponize the Monsters and other similar cards seem very useful for that.

Street Urchin seems especially funny, btw.

Also, Kumano Faces Kakkazan  ^Flip and Kumano, Master Yamabushi could be worth a shot here.

fszk I can definitely do that!

Step one is deciding on whether you want to make soldier tokens specifically or just any type of creature. It doesn't really matter, they're both good and fun to play, but I'll give you suggestions for both.

• You want to use cards like Assemble the Legion, Skyknight Vanguard, and Outlaws' Merriment to consistently make a tokens. Which, y'know, in Boros token spam you're probably going to want a lot of those.

• Then you're going to want a reason to make so many tokens. Either something to buff them like Honored Crop-Captain and Felidar Retreat or a reward for having so many creatures Halo Fountain (Expensive, but you really only need 2 copies), Seraph of the Masses or Kolaghan Forerunners. You could also use something like Goblin Bombardment, Impact Tremors, or Cavalcade of Calamity. What you pick here is going to change a lot of what you pick for other parts.

• And now for mana! White and red don't have a lot of great mana ramp, but classic artifacts like Boros Signet, Boros Keyrune, or Boros Cluestone. Prosperous Partnership could work well, too. Goblin Trenches could be snazzy if you care to add in white catch-up cards, but I'd stick to Prosperous and Signet.

• Removal is important too! Devouring Light, Lantern Flare, and Mob Justice all work pretty well. Although, Conclave Tribunal is definitely one you'll want in there. Wear / Tear is pretty solid too.

• Three other things to add are Lena, Selfless Champion, Oketra's Monument, and Mentor of the Meek because they're all cool and fresh.

Anyway, uhh, I just said a lot of stuff. That's my definition of some pointers. You don't want to know what a lot of pointers looks like. Good luck and feel free to ask for more assistance. (:

H3y_Im_Rob on Will Calvacade of Calamity trigger …

Let's say I have a couple of 1/1's and both Cavalcade of Calamity and Ferocity of the Wilds on the field.

If I attack with my 1/1's, would both enchantments trigger? Or would only Ferocity of the Wilds trigger?

Crow-Umbra, I appreciate the feedback a lot, it has definitely given me a new perspective on my cards, and even which cards would be best to use, and suggest. for example Haazda Marshal

. Haazda Marshal forcing yourself to attack with three creatures for one token is very risky and not quite worth it.

. and especially with Cavalcade of Calamity, Impact Tremors does not have nearly as much risk as Cavalcade of Calamity has. Because you deal damage just by creating tokens, instead of attacking and then possibly losing all your tokens.
