A Boros deck that doesn't attack? (RW Combo)

That's right you read the title correctly. You don't have to attack a single time, if you don't want to despite being in one of the most aggressive colour combinations magic has to offer.

This is now the #1 Tajic-deck on Tappedout and proved that Boros doesn't have to be all about attacking! Just sit back and watch the world burn.

In most games I don't attack a single time, unless some Planeswalker needs to be dealt with. This has been a fantastic strategy so far, because most of the times attacking causes retaliation. Aggro is usually what RW does best, but in a multiplayer game it can get quite challenging for Boros to take on every one once they run out of steam. So just put Tajic, Blade of the Legion to the front and lean back. No reason to attack into an indestructible blocker unless you have evasion or trample. That's how this deck works!

These combos are quite vulnerable, and that what makes them so much fun to play. I like that they can be interacted with and yet win you the game, if unanswered. Tajic, Blade of the Legion is my commander because he is a fantastic blocker and a great Pariah target.

If you know any cards I should run to improve this deck I would like to hear your ideas. :)

Also a shout out to my friend and fellow EDH player Caeruleus, who helped me a lot with this deck!


I want to thank everyone for their input and suggestions. However some don't work for this deck. Gisela, Blade of Goldnight is not in there, since she can interfere with some of these strategies, plus she paints a big target on your head. Same goes for other damage prevention cards, such as The Wanderer. These are only a viable option if you run cards like Heartless Hidetsugu or other big global burn spells.

In the future I will add cards like Ancient Tomb or Mana Vault should I be able to get them. Bit too expensive for my taste.
