Boros Reckoner

Creature — Minotaur Wizard

Whenever Boros Reckoner is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to any target (creature, player, planeswalker or battle).

: Boros Reckoner gains first strike until end of turn.

Ah, I love this! I always liked Boros Reckoner with Skred as a finisher. I miss those days. I'm glad they added the Modern Beyond Horizons format for decks like this.

Have you considered adding Ill-Tempered Loner  Flip to the deck? It is basically a second Boros Reckoner, but if it flips it doubles up on the damage-dealing of your sticks.

And the main reason you'd want your own creatures fighting each other is the Enrage mechanic and a few other fringe cases (i.e. Ranging Raptors/Boros Reckoner).

Nice deck! Have you considered adding a Boros Reckoner or two? It works extremely well with Blasphemous Act and Chain Reaction, as well as getting double-duty from Repercussion (by allowing you to direct any damage it takes back to the opponent's creature, which will still hit them).

I would also consider a couple Boros Charms, since they can either do damage or give your creatures indestructible (again, works well with Blasphemous Act and Chain Reaction for a one-sided board whipe).

It seems like you all just play Casual based on your format description, I haven't heard of any official format like that before. That is basically what my friends and I played when we got into Magic before switching over to Commander/EDH.

PhyrexianPraetor Thannks again for all the good card suggestions. I really appreciate it! I remember the black devotion decks well, good ol Gary! Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Phyrexian Obliterator, nasty stuff mate! The Shivan Devastator is indeed a pretty sick new card! I have a few but they are in my brother's Dragon deck with the Stormbreath Dragons and Thunderbreak Regents, but maybe I'll order another one or two for me! Boros Reckoner is a great card as well, I had them in the main board, and they have totally saved my skin in the past, I pushed them out to lower the curve a bit more, but I always keep them in the wings as a possibility. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is already in the deck, gotta have that in any devotion deck for sure! Robber of the Rich is also a great card that can provide value and remove possible threats from the opponents deck before they become a problem, I wish I had paper copies, I have him in my historic RDW on arena for certain, I'll look getting some physical copies. As for the War Elemental, Stigma Lasher, Harsh Mentor, and Vexing Shusher, I do not have any of those cards, but I'll put them into consideration! Cheers!

BotaNickill I also played standard around the time of RTR and Theros. I favoured Black Devotion myself.

Here is a list of cards you might find fun to test with.

1) Leyline of Punishment for the side, Stigma Lasher is a good alternative. I suggest these due to the prevalence of food decks. Gaining life doesn’t generally win the game, but it gives the opponent enough time to get control.

2) Harsh Mentor was a good card for a few years. It was used in traditional burn decks to punish players with lots of fetch-lands, effectively bolting the opponent every-time they cracked a fetch.

3) Vexing Shusher is a card that I have seen in the past in Naya Zoo and Green Stompy lists. Can be good against control or forces the control player to waste a spell to deal with it.

4) Boros Reckoner was a common choice I saw in standard Red Devotion lists. More often than not it will get through due to it’s ability.

5) Robber of the Rich is a cheap alternative to Ragavan. It doesn’t give treasure tokens, but it more or less achieves the same thing.

6) These last two are neat ideas. Shivan Devastator is a new card you probably have seen. It’s a good card that scales with the game and unlike most other “X” spells it has haste and if you ever added Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx it would be a strong combo. One other card I have seen on a few occasions is War Elemental. I played against a burn player sometime back and he had three of these in his deck. Was kind of annoying to deal with due to getting three +1/+1 counters almost every turn.

Pinkfluffyant thanks a bunch! Clone is my wildcard. Sow a little chaos into the game whenever I clone their high P/T creature card. And of course you can use any part of my deck you like; I don't mind! I noticed you're using Deflecting Palm. I'd say that's my #1 favorite of all cards in the game. Besides using Gideon's Sacrifice and Boros Reckoner whenever they smugly swing with all of their creatures.
