I have a wildly unoptimized Sylvia Brightspear and Khorvath Brightflame knights'n'dragons deck. It's basically just play Syilvia, ramp hard and bring on the dragons.

It's magnificently simplistic, and I adore every peace of it.

It's propably my weakest deck, but the commander pair is just sooo awesome.

First things first, I really like the tone of the deck description. This is a casually built deck that doesn't want to max out, it's just fun. Great thought. I built Sylvia Brightspear and Khorvath Brightflame with a similar attitude, and the deck is just a beauty.

Regarding this list, let me suggest some more underplayed, but fun cards for it:

Gravebreaker Lamia is a powerful tutor, a fine creature and even provides ramp. A card I really like in Lurrus of the Dream-Den is Omen of the Dead. It's cheap recursion and can even sacrifice itself. Desecrated Tomb is similar to Tormod, and the flying tokens can definitely add up pretty fast. Revival Experiment is another card could be really fun in here.

Khorvath Brightflame and Sylvia Brightspear could be kind of neat too.

Hey, you're welcome. You've made nice improvements to the manabase since I last saw your deck, good job.

In your comment to me you wrote, "I don't make my decks to be aggro so this is a new concept for me". My advice is don't play aggro as a strategy here because in multiplayer Commander aggro isn't as good as it is in 1v1 formats such as Standard. When you have three or more opponents who each start with 40 life then aggro is not a main strategy to build around or rely on.

Dragons are a midrange strategy and midrange is a much better main strategy then aggro in multiplayer Commander. The aggro Knight strategy could be reduced to improve the midrange Dragon strategy and doing this would overall improve your deck. More Dragons and ramp, less Knights. Dragons need ramp because they're high CMC cards and ramp helps to cast them. More ramp would do more here for Dragons than Knights.

Sylvia is a much better card as Commander than Khorvath Brightflame because double strike/flying Dragons can do enough combat damage to opponents to matter in multiplayer Commander. Where as Knights other than Sylvia are weak even with flying. Sylvia with double strike and support can be a threat to do 21 Commander damage to opponents. Sylvia is the best Knight interaction here with Khorvath because then with flying she's a bigger threat to do Commander damage.

---

Some advice for improving your deck on a budget is to simplify your overall strategy:

• Midrange instead of aggro.
• More Dragons instead of Knights.
• More ramp instead of Knights.
• More Dragon synergy.
• Sylvia as your lead Commander.
• Expand on attacking with Sylvia for card advantage and being a threat to do Commander damage to opponents.

If you're interested I can continue with more advice. Would you like more advice?

It's a shame you're building this with modern restrictions. Otherwise, Sylvia Brightspear and Khorvath Brightflame would be very cool. Skyknight Legionnaire is a great WR aggro creature.

I'm sure this is of interest to no one but me at this point, but I have to write this down...

So last night at my flgs I got to play this in a pod, and it was pretty amazing.

I have so many triggers and options it is very difficult to figure out what to do. Immediately after my last turn, I realized I could have won on my turn with different choices.

WHAT HAPPENED:

I had out Harabaz Druid , Changeling Hero , Venomous Changeling , and Magda, Brazen Outlaw and 2 treasure tokens. (a couple of enchantments, not directly relevant). I had six lands on the field, and Changeling Berserker and Coveted Prize in hand. I played the Berserker, Championing the Hero (goes to exile til Berserker leaves the battlefield), I swing in with the Changelings and Magda, generating 3 more treasures which I immediately sac to bring out Khorvath Brightflame giving the changelings flying and knocking out one of my opponents.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED:

I could have tapped 3 to play Coveted Prize (because the two changelings were party members), and fetch Dragon Tempest to my hand, play another 3 to summon Berserker championing Hero (was only 3 because of Ur's eminence ability), tap Harabaz for 3 red to play Dragon Tempest. then when I swung in I could have sac'd the treasures to instead summon Changeling Titan championing the Berserker, which would bring back the Hero which would send out the Titan, which would bring back the Berserker, etc, etc... for infinite ETB triggers and infinite damage through Dragon Tempest, knocking out ALL my opponents.

I don't play Boros but if I did, I'd probably roll with Sylvia Brightspear and Khorvath Brightflame for a fun dual-tribe theme.

Khorvath Brightflame and Sylvia Brightspear paired as partners is the first thing to come to mind. A dragon buffing knights, partnering with a knight that buffs dragons.
