Boros Control - Lifelink Build

Speedy deck with a focus on Lifelink burn via the 20+ burn spells and Soulfire Grand Master

Key Combos are:

Soulfire Grand Master + Any burn / Removal

Seeker of the Way + Any burn / Removal

Satyr Firedancer + Any burn / Removal

Janky Combos are:

Soulfire Grand Master + Humble Defector + Searing Blood = Draw 2, Gain 5 Life and Burn 3 for 2 Red

Soulfire Grand Master + Anger of the Gods = MASSIVE life gain. More so if Monastery Mentor is involved on either side of the board.

Soulfire Grand Master + Stoke the Flames = Convoke into Stoke, pay 4, return to hand, cast Stoke. Mana heavy, but late game ender if it happens.

Very simple concept for game play of the deck. Be fast and burn. Control creature presence, gain all the life and Win.

Wincons are essentially almost anything in the deck. The entire deck is lethal capable..

Sideboard is built for U/B Control and all forms of the soon to be everywhere Monastery Mentor Tokens.

Hey guys!

Thanks for following this deck from planning, to inception, to evolution and finally to reality. At this point, I think its time to switch gears and go for a straight Boros burn/Token Build. I feel it will be more efficient, and hit wincons more consistently.

I am choosing to keep a very similar shell, while adding things like Purphoros, God of the Forge and Monastery Mentor for Prowess/token Shenanigans. Again, early in Dev at this point, but looking for feed back, comments and suggestion on where to go from here.

Thanks again!
