A deck built for a deckbuilding challenge on r/EDH.

This is my take on a boros combo deck. There are two themes I focused on: Stuffy Doll type effects with mass damage spells, and combat shenanigans that involve forcing your opponents to attack to their disadvantage.The first theme has some interesting cards to support it. The idea is to land a Stuffy Doll (or make your own, with a Mogg Maniac, Boros Reckoner, Spitemare or Coalhauler Swine alongside an indestructibility effect) and then cast a Blasphemous Act or Chain Reaction to burn up a player.

This gets interesting when you throw in a damage doubler such as Furnace of Rath or Dictate of the Twin Gods. Because of the way magic calculates damage with an effect like this, casting a blasphemous act with a stuffy doll on the field actually doubles the damage dealt to the player twice, once when calculating the damage dealt to stuffy doll itself, and again when dealing it to the player. Because of this, a blasphemous act can deal 52 damage to the selected opponent with a stuffy doll out.

The second theme of forcing your opponents to attack is supported by stuffy doll as well. Forcing your opponent to swing out with Basandra, Battle Seraph or Avatar of Slaughter into a stuffy doll can help you close out a game if you don't have a mass damage spell. Cards like Comeuppance, Caltrops and Lightmine Field also support the battle tactics idea of forcing your opponents into a trap.Some other fun combos included:

Heartless Hidetsugu with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight wipes a table. Hidetsugu with any other damage doubler can wipe a table if you can get yourself to an odd life total and your opponents to even ones.

Pariah is a fun card to throw on your stuffy doll. Even more fun with Volcano Hellion (yes that works how you think it does).

Arcbond with Comeuppance goes infinite with stuffy doll to wipe the table.

The rest of the deck is mostly some edh staples that help make the deck a bit more fast, consistent help deal with strategies opponents might employ. The trickiest part of building boros is making sure you don't just run out of cards in hand so I tried to throw in the few card advantage enablers I could find along with boros' meager ramp options.

The best part of the deck is Razia's effect is actually relevant for once! Redirect damage to stuffy doll for some sweet sweet value.
