Changes to the deck since construction. —Sept. 20, 2014

The core of this deck has remained largely unaltered, which is only to be expected considering it's a tribal deck centered around a tiny tribe and I'm already running as many as I can really be expected to. I have however switched around a few off-tribe creatures/support spells, and modified the land base a bit; the new dual-land from Khans was a snap-include when I saw that spoiled. I've also started tracking down foils for various cards, because yay shinies.

Hey, I have never played EDH and have recently been trying to get into it. I wanted a fun deck to get for my first time and I think this deck is it. Keep us updated on how it does during playtests, I am really interested and if it goes well for you I might just buy it

I'm always happy to see people looking to get into EDH, because (and I say this completely 100% seriously), it is the best format. All the joy and durdling and janky plays of kitchen-table Magic, but with deck building constraints and singleton construction that (are supposed to at least) result in games with much more variety in what you see out of any given deck, with a focus on crazy multi-player shenanigans, where the entire point of playing the game is to play the game; in other words, a format where the quality of the gameplay is WAY more important than the actual outcome.

As for my deck inspiring you to build something similar/identical as your initial foray into the world of EDH, wow, let me stress how incredibly flattering that is. If you do wind up building this, definitely let me know how it goes for you - I think if you enjoy playing Boros colors you should certainly find this deck entertaining, and as I noted in the initial description, it was fairly cheap to construct (the original original version I posted was even less expensive, I've sunk a bit more into it replacing a few cards since then, which the list reflects now).
