This deck uses redirection to win. Instead of playing threats or answers it leaves itself wide open for haymakers - then forces them right back at whoever throws one. I've been careful not to include defensive/pillowforting cards, white's typical ubiquitous removal, or blue counterspells (for the most part). You WANT your opponents to build up a huge alpha strike because the bigger it is the more damage they'll do to themselves.

The strategy is to wait for someone to hit you with a lot of damage. Wait for a doubled power worldspine wurm from the xenagos player and play Boros Fury-Shield or Turn the Tables.

The deck started out as a copy of Sheldon Mennery's "you did it to yourself" deck which he showcases here:

My tuning has moved it away from stealing - although cards like Gilded Drake are still present - and put more focus on damage redirection.

The deck now features Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis as the commander as they provide extra draw and ramp, two things the deck desperately wants. They also give access to green which gives us some additional win conditions in Treacherous Terrain and Rubblehulk.

When I first got into commander I tended towards decks that didn't interact that much - all out attacking boros, indestructible/board wipe tribal, etc. I wanted to play a deck that forced me to be highly interactive. This deck does that for sure.
