Put Kor Firewalker in the deck. It will be ridonkulous.

There are a lot of soldiers out there, but some of the must-haves I feel you're missing are Brimaz, King of Oreskos , Preeminent Captain , Evangel of Heliod , Nomads' Assembly , Launch the Fleet , and Deploy to the Front . High Sentinels of Arashin and Elite Scaleguard could also be very powerful, depending on how much +1/+1 counter stuff you plan on doing.

If you're going to play the Earthquake deck, you might as well play Truefire Captain , Spitemare , and Boros Reckoner .

I think the deck could also use some more "vegetables" cards. You should be running Boros Signet , at minimum, but Boros Keyrune , Boros Locket , Mind Stone , Sword of the Animist , and Knight of the White Orchid should probably be in the conversation, as well. Vandalblast , Aura of Silence , Crush Contraband , Return to Dust , etc. are all removal you might consider over the abundance of creature removal you have. In terms of card draw, being tribal, you could look into Vanquisher's Banner could also do work.

As for cuts, you shouldn't be running Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse in a 2-color deck. Ancient Amphitheater , Needle Spires , and even Stone Quarry are all strictly better without cards that care about land types or Landfall. The deck thinning is inconsequential in a 99-card deck, and you'd rather have the flexibility. Catapult Master, Hour of Devastation (you know it removes indestructible, right?), Deafening Clarion, and Hammerfist Giant all seem pretty suspect to me, just on card quality. Rather than Deafening Clarion, Firesong and Sunspeaker seem better with the Earthquake theme.

I was just looking at Preeminent Captain earlier today, and thinking he would be great for this deck. Other useful generators are Brimaz, Nomads' Assembly, and Deploy to the Front.

Before I started using the deck, I considered adding Truefire Captain and Spitemare, but wasn't sure how often they would come up with Tajic on the field. Now that it has seen use, I think they could be instrumental in redirecting lethal damage when I don't have mana to get Tajic back on the field, but can play one of them and Blasphemous Act. Also good for punishing someone who removes Tajic in response to one of my Earthquakes.

Meh. I don't think the rocks will do this deck much good. There is so much low-drop value in the deck already, I would rather drop Soldiers Turn 2-5 to support Tajic and start beating face early than slow myself down with rocks. The artifact/enchantment removal you mention, though, does seem fairly useful. I can think of a couple times in his games so far when those have been a problem. Single-target removal would need to be hard exile like Crush Contraband, too much recursion in my playgroups otherwise. Also, Vanquisher's Banner seems like it could go a long way towards helping my spells replace themselves.

I see what you mean about Wilds/Expanse. Will cut those for the others once I make the acquisitions. Catapult Master is beautiful for the targeted exile, it has already won me a game. You're right, Hour of Devastation does remove indestructible! I only have 1 source of that in the whole deck, everything else is regenerate or prevent the damage. It doesn't hurt me, but lets me take Gods off the field. Just did that to a Heliod in my last game (it blocked a Soldier token, died to Devastation main phase 2). Hammerfist Giant is off the rails, I can hit the board for 4 damage whenever I please. Great combo with Darien and First Response.

Deafening Clarion is weak, though. Firesong and Sunspeaker would be much better for the deck.

Magma Phoenix?

Hey ThePersons, BeastoftheEast, zumberos_shadowwake, Serinsar, BlueEyedBeast43, and Questioned@3E, let me know what you think of the updated version of the deck!

If you want to be annoying, add Dictate of the Twin Gods or an aura for Tajic Reflexes

I've considered adding damage doublers like Dictate of the Twin Gods before, but opted not to. If this was a less combat-oriented deck, and relied more on mass damage spells to kill opponents, I would definitely consider doublers. But they are a double-edged sword with this build - including them means my creatures die to opposing blockers much more easily.

Reflexes is not a useful enough card on its own to justify making space for it in the deck. Perhaps if the deck had enchantment tribal of some kind, or if this were a more Voltron-style Tajic, but this board goes a lot wider. Because of that, there's already lots of ways to give Tajic first strike, like Field Marshal. I would rather include something like Rhox Pikemaster . Even though it's a bit more mana, it gives me a body on the board and gives my whole field first strike, but is not as big or easy a target as say Archetype of Courage .

So let me ask this first before I post a comment, do you have a budget or do you want this to be the best that it can be?

Fair question DrkNinja. I don't intend to turn this into a money pit, but my friends and I do have some rarer cards at our disposal. Let's hear your suggestions, unfettered by cost.

Lets start with your CMC. In order for an aggro deck to be fast, the mana curve for the deck needs to be incredibly low to the ground. With that in mind here are some creatures that are all sub-three CMC:

• Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit
• Boros Reckoner
• Thalia, Heretic Cathar
• Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
• Tithe Taker
• Mentor of the Meek
• Ballyrush Banneret
• Haazda Marshal
• Aerial Responder
• Frontline Medic
• Consul's Lieutenant
• Bounty Agent
• Mirror Entity
• Kytheon, Hero of Akros  ^Flip
• Thalia's Lieutenant
• Akroan Hoplite
• Champion of the Parish
• Legion Loyalist
• Metallic Mimic
• Recruiter of the Guard
• Swiftblade Vindicator
• Legion Warboss

You do also need some cards to add support which you have a few of but these three are pretty hefty; Iroas, God of Victory , Purphoros, God of the Forge and Hero of Bladehold .

You are also gonna need to give your creatures haste, and one of my favorite cards does just that for next to nothing; Mass Hysteria .

Here are a few cards I also think would be really good support, or are staples in this archetype:

• Unbreakable Formation
• Brave the Elements
• Teferi's Protection
• Collective Effort
• Citywide Bust
• Militia's Pride
• Brave the Sands
• Glorious Anthem
• Chance for Glory
• Spear of Heliod

I know your goal isn't to nessecarily win via commander damage but these two cards I find are helpful and threaten any opponent usually... Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of Fire and Ice

Lastly... I know you said you avoided it intentionally but... I think it was a mistake... You need more ramp. The more ramp you have the faster you can play dudes the faster you can kill someone. So Mana Crypt , Sol Ring , Boros Signet , Chrome Mox , etc. I think you should play at least 5 ramp artifacts to really help you get that overwhelming force, because on T4 you now have to live in fear of WoGs

Ok that's all... he said after posting a page long comment... Sorry. <3 If you need help with cuts anything above 4 cmc should be the first things to go with the exception of Cathar's. get your CMC as close to 2 as you can.

Also I don't think you need 38 lands, and if you get your cmc close to 2 and add rocks you should be able to go down to 35 at the least but maybe even to 33 depending on how low you get that curve.

I agree with DrkNinja, you really need at least some ramp.

Sol Ring and Boros Signet are both relatively inexpensive and great.

Knight of the White Orchid and Kor Cartographer are both creatures that can help you ramp and keep the pressure on.

I like the deck though, looks fun!

I really love aggro style decks, but because of the 40 llife limit, they often fall short. However, there is this great format called oathbreaker that does a lot better with boros. It's a commander inspired format, the difference being in that you have 20 life, a 60 card deck, and a planeswalker commander with a signature spell. It's really interesting, and it opens a lot of pathways for decks like this, or burn, mill, and even under supported tribal. Here's a link to a page that talks all about it.https://weirdcards.org/oathbreaker

I love this version of Tajic, I have serveral of my own. I wil be building this very soon.
