Decided to change my cEDH Boros Commander...

Deck Help forum

Posted on Aug. 18, 2018, 1:49 p.m. by BMHKain



I actually want this to be at least Tier 2.5 somehow. If anyone has any suggestions, fire away. I plan to put a Aetherflux Reservoir in there, more burn to equal huge lifegain, stuff that benefits from Lifegain, & I just want an answer to this question:

"Is there even a way to burn an opponent to death in a loop without decking out?"

I know about the rulings, but I want at least one card in such colors to back it up without self-loss.

Oh, & Felidar Sovereign is joining as well. PX Hope this can help, if at all. I'm still aiming for Tier 2.5 in case anyone still cares.

Oh, one more thing, I just want some X Burns, other kinds of Burn, among others that don't target; Kind of like Wraths. Also, This was meant for burn in mind, so Sunspeaker is going to have to sit out on this. But at least we got Lifegain anyway...

That, & can X-Burns Double even when X=0 no matter what?

Good Luck on Suggestions that could make this cEDH-Level competitive!

Hi! Think I can help, though I'm pretty sure "Boros cEDH deck" is rather oxymoronic haha!

Check out the primer and card choices for all explanations. Mine is nowhere near tier 2.5 but it is fun to play. I focus heavily on Sunforger which makes it sub-optimal so ignore that section.

X-Spell discussion: Molten Disaster deserves include because of the split second, and Jaya's Immolating Inferno might be good in a pod of 4. Obviously, no discussion about X-Spells is valid without Neheb, the Eternal coming up. Treasonous Ogre is great if your lifegain can handle it. Also If you play in a creature heavy meta, Repercussion will be very useful to you. And finally, if you copy an X-Spell on the stack, maybe with Reverberate etc, the X amount will also be copied :)

Hopefully some of this helped, let me know if you have any questions about the card choices in my decks. Good luck!

I was in the process of typing out a recommendation that you talk to Suns_Champion, when that advice was made unnecessary! Suns_Champion’s Firesong list is a great place to start.
