Why Silent Arbiter? It does allow you to have an unblockable creature, but thats literally only one creature that you have swinging then, and I assume you want more than that with Iroas as your general.

as long as i have my devotion Silent Arbiter makes Iroas, God of Victory unblockable or if i have a few things going for me already like Sword of Feast and Famine & Aggravated Assault, thats a victory. in the small scale, it gives me time to build up. @zerowner what would you suggest instead?

Hi,+1 upvote!I recommend some lands: Slayers' Stronghold, Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion and Kjeldoran Outpost.And what do you think about Rise of the Hobgoblins, Magmaquake, Hellrider?

Check out my Iroas deck. Similar, but without artifacts and much more devotion Boros in full attack

wahnschatten thanks for the upvote. Yes i need a major land improvment. Its always the last thing i take care of. Rise of the Hobgoblins was in here befor so was Hellrider, neither one was that important to me. First strike isnt that important when i have my god out so hobgoblins cane out. Hellrider came out cause i just didnt have enough creatures attacking to make that worth it. Magmaquake is already on its way in the mail. Its in the maybe board . Ill check out you deck in a lil bit. i might give hellrider a second chance.

I've listed an deck helmed by Iroas, God of Battleshaping. It might be useful to you.

Thats not a bad idea. Cheap casting cost too.

It can win very fast if its not delt with. Just plsyed tonight at a friends house in a 3 way free for all, killed an opponent on turn 7 and the other on the next. Unblockable double striking Commander damage. Thanks for the upvote

I like Avacyn, Angel of Hope, how could you not like Avacyn, Angel of Hope, this is easly one of the best white cards ever printed. Im very aware of this card and what it can do for any deck really. Problem is at $35 bucks its about 1/5th of the decks total cost. This is fairly a budget build. If my budget wasnt a factor that one would be in here. Gleam of Battle was in my maybe board for a while cause it almost made the cut. Its just not good enough for its mana cost. If i was building a this deck based more off of +1/+1 counters then yes it would make the cut. Both good suggestions. Thanks.

Yeah! Lightning Helix is also always a good choice, but I understand 3 damage isn't great in EDH, but for the occasional bob, dryad arbor, ETC, it can help

Sunscorch Regent is another card you might want to run if you're playing multiplayer.

Every deck needs a big fatty. Serra Avatar 7 mana, or Sunscorch Regent 5 mana?

what about Balefire Dragon to combo with Basilisk Collar

June 21, 2015 2:52 p.m.

griffstick says... #17

That would be fun

I got to get my hands on a Balefire Dragon, that card is awesome. But how do you guys feel about adding Rest in Peace considering i have no grave recursion. Stranglehold is already in here cause i dont search eithe, except for the one card but thats besides the point. The point is, to do what boros does best law and order and caos and anger... whats your thouts on Rest in Peace and what should i take out for it.

I would cut Blasphemous Act for Balefire Dragon. The reason is that Balefire can't hit your stuff (and if they manage to deflect the damage, Iroas protects your stuff).

Rest in Peace is a good card, but unless your meta has more than one or two graveyard-decks, I'd sideboard it.

Austere Command? would be a good answer to enhancements and artifacts something your deck is low on right now. also you know wrath effect for emergency or when all you have is your commander. also definitely keep avacyn.

the silent arbiter is a good card because it essentially makes your attacker unblockable but there are better options especially with all the battle cry in the deck

Consider adding in the card Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, cause double damage and double health is pretty sweet.

Oh yea, im very aware of her. thats why shes on my maybeboard. She, would put my deck on the next lvl if i had her in it. Ive had my eyes on her since the begening. If i added her, she would be the second most valuable card in the deck. Right in between Sword of Feast and Famine, and Aggravated Assault. Understand that this is budget, and those to tegeather is a win condition. Adding her adds so many one strike commander damage win cons to the deck. So she is highly considerable. And considering i win on commander damage alot its not a bad sugestion. Thank you and when i feel the need to upgrade the power lvl of the deck. I will add her to it.
