Combat Celebrant

Creature — Human Warrior

If Combat Celebrant hasn't been exerted this turn, you may exert it as it attacks. When you do, untap all other creatures you control and after this phase, there is an additional combat phase. (An exerted creature can't untap during your next untap step.)

You got to take advantage of what boros gives you to be aggressive. The biggest thing boros gives you that no other color pairing gives you is extra combats. Take advantage of that with cards like Combat Celebrant, Aurelia, the Warleader, World at War, Scourge of the Throne, Seize the Day, Savage Beating, Relentless Assault, Moraug, Fury of Akoum, Waves of Aggression, Response / Resurgence, Breath of Fury Hellkite Charger, Aggravated Assault, Fury of the Horde and Port Razer. Along with that you need to speed up the damage output. Boros gives you damage doublers, with cards like Fiendish Duo, Goblin Goliath, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Insult, Furnace of Rath, Gratuitous Violence, Dictate of the Twin Gods, Curse of Bloodletting, Bitter Feud, Angrath's Marauders, Overblaze, Inquisitor's Flail, and Fiery Emancipation.

Also consider other things boros gives you that will speed up damage like double strike. Boros gives you haste, trample, and evasion. You need to consider all of those. All while staying low on curve and fast in ramp. If you do this you'll have a good aggro deck.

CamraMaan on Interaction between Marton Stromgald, Subira, …

So the scenario is that Marton Stromgald is declared as an attacker with five 1/1 Goblins, all of whom were made unblockable by Subira, Tulzidi Caravanner before attacking. Along with all of them in the attack we have a Combat Celebrant who is also being exerted to add a second combat phase. So my question is whether or not Stromgald will add +6/+6 to the other attackers on both combat phases, effectively giving them +12/+12 on the second attack?

Would it be worth it to include Combat Celebrant for another win route with Jiki Kiki?

Also, Spirit of the Labyrinth has a lot more upside than usual because of the impulse draw Borca gives. Just a thought

I think Grave Titan is one of the greatest cards in chainer, have you considered him? Also for extra combat phases Scourge of the Throne and Combat Celebrant can work really well.

LeaPlathBut wouldn't Eidolon of Rhetoric and Archon of Emeria also work against me too, making me too only cast one spell per turn?

And, TriusMalarky, you said 't1 Elvish Mystic, t3 Vannifar'. Couldn't I use t2 Sylvan Caryatid instead of Elvish Mystic, or t1 Arboreal Grazer? I don't like Elvish Mystic just because it is a green mana for tapping.

I think a lot of my cards would benefit from blinking or tapping then untapping. Is there a slang term in MTG for tapping and untapping? I know that exiling and retrieving is called 'blink' and putting a card back into its owners hand is called 'bounce'.

Untapping and Tapping would be useful with Combat Celebrant and Sylvan Caryatid. and especially Prime Speaker Vannifar.

Blinking would work with Thought-Knot Seer, Arboreal Grazer. From Beyond, Eldritch Evolutionand especially Wishclaw Talisman.

This would be where Eldrazi Displacer and Matter Reshaper would shine.

I'm thinking about running more of these two types of cards that I can blink or untap and tap. If I have a combo of tapping and untapping with Combat Celebrant, I can get many combat turns before my opponent even takes a turn.

Meanwhile, some cards that catalyze combat for you: Breath of Fury, Combat Celebrant, Dolmen Gate, Fury of the Horde (Gallia approved), Hellkite Charger, Invasion Plans, Legion Warboss, and Moraug, Fury of Akoum.

I'm not going to look up all of these last ones, but find some ways to close the loop with your graveyard, either using creatures like Eternal Witness that you can swing with to draw more cards, or guys like Feldon of the Third Path that can make great early-game use out of big beaters you discard turn 4.

Rest in Peace + Helm of Obedience is a classic one that mills out a player (cards cannot go to the graveyard, so Helm will never mill either X cards or a creature to take)

Twinflame or Heat Shimmer + Dualcaster Mage can make infinite hasty 2/2 human wizards if you keep copying the original spell with the token copies that enter the battlefield. Similar combo's can be achieved with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and a nonlegendary creature that can untap it, like Zealous Conscripts.

Aggravated Assault + Sword of Feast and Famine is an easy recipe for as many combat steps as you like, Godo, Bandit Warlord or Combat Celebrant+ Helm of the Host does something similar.

I really like the direction you are going with this!

Some cards that might synergize well with your +1+1 strategy are Forgotten Ancient and Master Biomancer. Ancient gets counters very, very fast and can distribute as many as you want to Pako; Biomancer can help boost anything you get from you or your opponent's deck (or Pako when cast again from the Command Zone).

Have you also thought about adding any second combat phase cards? That seems pretty great with your theme as you can deal twice the damage and get double Pako triggers at the same time. Here are some that might be cool to look at: World at War, Relentless Assault, Fury of the Horde, Combat Celebrant, and of course Aggravated Assault.
