Embercleave
Legendary Artifact — Equipment
Flash
This spell costs less to cast for each attacking creature you control.
When Embercleave enters the battlefield, attach it to target creature you control.
Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has double strike and trample.
Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

I like this deck idea, so I've been looking it over and seeing if I can think of any ideas that are interesting! Here are a few, hopefully some of them will make sense as includes, apologies if none do!
Rite of the Raging Storm is a nice way to create chaos and get the weakest opponent dead sooner rather than later; in fact, any opponent that can't soak up 5 trample damage is in a lot of trouble. Similarly maybe Slicer, Hired Muscle Flip and/or Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos in the 99 to get damage in? Any of these works well with Meekstone afaik, other than Slicer when you're down to 1v1 (but he's in the 99 here, so it's not as bad as when he's Commander and the main creature). Maddening Hex also speeds things up, as long as people aren't all on creatures!
If you're looking for another useful equipment I rather like either Embercleave or Two-Handed Axe. Scavenged Brawler isn't an equipment, but it's a very good effect I've found, that's a PILE of keywords. It's also really good if you use it on your Brash Taunter!
I have had very good results from Humble Defector in relevant decks. I also wondered about Starke of Rath, but I worried people would just use him to kill your Commander, so it seemed like a non-bo, then I figured you could always hold the other up while one is out, use Starke like a back up Commander of sorts. Goblin Welder
can target anyone's stuff, meaning you can not only get back your own key card in exchange for an artifact token, you can also make an opponent trade their combo piece for their worst artifact. Dwarven Miner and Dwarven Blastminer are pretty fun cards IMHO, it's pretty funny when someone is getting out of hand and you just start taking away colours from their mana base (and if someone steals one they can't do anything to you!), and maybe Volcanic Offering. Another removal effect that can create a lot of chaos is Jaya Ballard, Task Mage, especially if anyone has a Blue Commander you don't like (or uses Blue permanents to wreck your day), fwiw the wipe is friendly to your Commander, as is the ping, that seems maybe relevant?
OOOH! I just had the most Chaos Gremlin idea ever for this deck, have you ever thought about Nemesis Mask? Maybe people will deck themselves!
Hope this deck is as much fun to play as it was to get in the headspace of!

The sword of Gryfindor never becomes a horcrux, so I don’t think so. I was thinking of a design for it but the more I thought about it the more I just thought the sword would just be Embercleave
Yeah I am not entirely sure on the Horcrux mechanics yet. I think you are right, the does seem a bit easy, but I am mainly designing the Harry Potter cards so far.
I think a Jeskai spell slinger and blink deck seems to work quite well, blink / flicker seems to work thematically for apparation. I’m thinking the legendary wizards can have prowess, but all have relatively low power and toughness.

straight up casual 60 deck (sorry I am an EDH player usually), but wouldnt 4 Birds of Paradise just be straight better mana dorks? Could also go with your classic Llanowar Elves and the such.
Embercleave to go over the top with double strike damage? Anzrag, the Quake-Mole for extra combat?

Nice I love Boros and the Bushido is perfect for it. Kudos on the story too! I see you put a good deal of effort into that, molding the story through the cards. I'm all about that and the old Kamigawa cards, that was one of the first sets I ever played in MtG and it makes me nostalgic everytime.
If you're looking to update the deck, you could consider some stuff like Fighter Class or Master Warcraft to force your opponent to block with something that will die to Bushi, rather than rely on them willingly blocking.
Embercleave is pretty nutty and could soup Bushi up big time, surprise double strike ain't nothing to shake a stick at.
Then there's the classic Umezawa's Jitte, build up some charge counters and you can buff Bushi at instant speed. Although the opponent will see it coming, they may not have a choice. And it's Betrayers of Kamigawa classic Samurai to boot.
Sejiri Shelter Flip is also pretty cool, these new dual face lands have got potential to really pad a list. Admittedly more useful in EDH, but I see some stuff in here that could be replaced by that to make some room. There's a few Boros dual face lands too that could be considered here for our boy Bushi. Legion Leadership Flip comes to mind.
Minas Tirith is becoming an auto include in almost all my White decks, it's just so good especially if aggro.
My deck Heroes of Redwall Abbey might give you some more ideas, most of these suggestions are pulled from there. Good luck brave Samurai Warrior!

Legion Loyalist can be a cheap and effective way to get damage through while attacking.
For getting Satya attacking midgame more without dying, how about something like Frontline Medic, Dolmen Gate, Angelic Guardian, or Spirit Mantle?
Also, including Embercleave and Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion could allow you to get some Commander damage kills.

Embercleave is a good finisher/combat trick for your deck.
I might also recommend either Mana Tithe or Lapse of Certainty just to have a counterspell that you can find with Sunforger
looks fun!

How about Flickering Ward, Inviolability, and Embercleave? Dolmen Gate might be worth it too.

Dana_in_Love845, I agree with you that Goblin Anarchomancer would be great in this deck. I’ve never seen that one before, and it looks like a solid card.
I use Burning-Tree Emissary in my deck because my deck is mono-red (not Gruul like this one), it needs to get wide fast since I’m playing Embercleave, and devotion to red is very important for my primary win con. In my use-case, it’s very effective. Here’s my deck if you want to check it out: Budget Mono Red Embercleave
