pre disclaimer disclaimer: this description is outdated. i'll update when I have time

disclaimer: this description is totally not finished, but look at my deck anyway. i've already outlined the basic premises of the deck, and it should be relatively easy to playtest. enjoy my deck, love larry.

A STRONGLY WORDED PREFACE: THIS DECK IS NOT FOR BLUE PLAYERS. IF YOU EXPECT TO GET SOMETHING THAT PLAYS LIKE SIMIC FILTH, YOU WILL NOT FIND THAT HERE.

WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, THIS DECK IS A DECK ABOUT HITTING PEOPLE VERY HARD WITH CREATURES. THIS DECK DOES THIS BY UTILIZING SEVERAL CONCEPTS-

OKAY, THIS STUFF IS SIMPLE. THINGS LIKE Sunforger GIVE Sun Titan GIVE YOU PLENTY OF VALUE TO WORK WITH- CARDS THAT HAVE A LASTING IMPACT, BY BRINGING BACK OTHER CARDS, OR BEING SO GOOD, THEY MUST BE INCLUDED.

Sunforger IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT, SINCE IT ALLOWS FOR MANY INSTANTS TO BE USED FOR A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS. NEED A BOARDWIPE? Settle the Wreckage. (protip, use this on tokens you attack with for some sweet ramp) NEED TO DICTATE HOW PEOPLE ATTACK? Master Warcraft. NEED TO BLOCK DAMAGE? Comeuppance OR Deflecting Palm. SIMPLY PUT, Sunforger IS A MUST INCLUDE FOR VERSATILITY IN A BOROS DECK.

Sunforger BECOMES AN EVEN GREATER MENACE WHEN PAIRED WITH Mistveil Plains, DUE TO THE ABILITY TO RECUR INSTANTS YOU CAST, EVERY SINGLE TURN. GODLIKE!

THE CLASSIC REMOVAL SPELLS, BOARDWIPES AND ARTIFACTS ARE ALL HERE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF Lightning Greaves. GREAVES ARE A HINDRANCE TO EQUIPMENTS, AND THIS DECK FEATURES A GOOD HANDFUL. THE FULL LIST OF THE CLASSICS IS LISTED ON THE DECK. (see my custom filter)

THIS DECK REVOLVES AROUND BOTH BURN AND CREATURES, AS A GOOD BOROS DECK SHOULD. INSTANT EFFECTS AND A BIT OF COMBAT FUCKERY ALWAYS KEEPS PEOPLE ON THEIR TOES. COMBINED WITH Sunforger, YOUR TROOPS BECOME AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE OF DEATH. REMOVAL, BUFF, WHATEVER YOU NEED.

THIS DECK BOTH PUMPS OUT WEENIES WITH A FEW CARDS...

...AND IT HAS SOME BIG BEATERS

(it's not a coincidence they're all angels, Tajic kinda needs a harem my dude)

THE PART WHEN THEY SYNERGIZE IS WHEN WEENIES GET HUGE, AND SO DO THEIR ANGEL FRIENDS.

NOW THAT BOTH OUR BEATERS AND WEENIES ARE HUGE, IT'S TIME TO BOLT. Balefire Liege HITS FACE FOR 3 EVERYTIME YOU CAST A RED SPELL AND YOU GAIN 3 LIFE FOR A WHITE SPELL, EVEN OFF OF Isochron Scepter. Warstorm Surge CALCULATES POWER AFTER Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite AND OTHERS, YOUR 1/1 WEENIES FROM Assemble the Legion NOW DO A METRIC FUCKTON MORE DAMAGE.

WITH ALL THIS DAMAGE, HOW ABOUT A SURPRISE KILL? Dictate of the Twin Gods ALLOWS YOU TO EFFECTIVELY INSTAKILL SOMEONE OFF OF ETB TRIGGERS AND COMBAT. PAIRED WITH Odric, Master Tactician or Master Warcraft, INSTAKILL AWAY; NO BLOCKS REQUIRED!

NOTABLE INTERACTION - Warstorm Surge AND Gratuitous Violence - SINCE Warstorm Surge HAS THE CREATURE DEAL DAMAGE TO A CREATURE/PLAYER, Gratuitous Violence AMPLIFIES THAT DAMAGE. ONE-SIDED DOUBLE DAMAGE FOR !

AND THE GRAND MEME OF THE DECK- OVERKILL.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

I SEE INFINITE POTENTIAL. I SEE FIGHT. FIGHT EVERYONE TO THE POINT WHERE THEY CANNOT FIGHT ANYMORE. WIN BY MIGHT, NOT SMARTS.

NOW, GO- AND OBLITERATE FILTHY SIMIC PLAYERS.

4 THINGS MAKE THIS DECK CONSISTENT

  • RECURSION
  • LOW-MED CMC
  • FETCHES AND RAMP
  • LIGHT DRAW AND SOME TOPDECK ADJUSTMENT

THAT'S IT. BOROS WORKS BECAUSE YOUR DRAWS ARE MEANINGFUL, NOT PLENTIFUL. EFFICIENCY MATTERS.

(the things outlined here are fairly obvious. the cards involved in this are also fairly obvious Sensei's Divining Top, Enlightened Tutor, etc.)

BECAUSE BOROS DOES NOT REQUIRE CARD DRAW, OR RAMP (rather it doesn't have it.. but I mean, you did click on this deck for a reason mate) BOROS REQUIRES THESE MECHANICS TO BECOME A GOD-TIER DECK.

(oh also, the jank tag is there because this is boros, it's more or less because of hilarity. this is a well-refined deck and should work. i just find it fitting of boros in general to be fair.)
