When Knight-Captain of Eos enters the battlefield, put two 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens into play.

I like this idea, but have you considered a soldier tribal subtheme with Preeminent Captain, Catapult Master, Darien, King of Kjeldor, Squad Captain , Stormfront Riders, Assemble the Legion Knight-Captain of Eos etc? It offers another cheat and has decent commander synergy.

On another note, Auratouched Mage with Eldrazi Conscription is a thing, or just Knightly Valor/Commander's Authority.

Lovisa Coldeyes has that warrior synergy. Allies have a few options in Resolute Blademaster and Murasa Pyromancer. Reverent Hoplite and Evangel of Heliod like white devotion. Zealous Conscripts threatens to a combo.

Have fun tinkering with the list.

So I really like this decklist so far and I can see you have put a lot of time into it. Have you tried putting in more humans that make non human tokens? Cards like, Evangel of Heliod, Knight-Captain of Eos, Silverwing Squadron and, Hero of Bladehold could be really strong editions in this catagory.

This deck seems like it is ultra agressive, which I feel Boros and espically Winota want to be but, have you looked at putting a few more devensive cards in the deck? Cards like Frontline Medic, Odric, Master Tactician, Legion's Initiative, and Unbreakable Formation could help to ward off boardwipes and help your creatures get combat damage through. I also think, Angel of Glory's Rise could be a really strong late game finisher after a large chuck of your humans have been killed.

Lastly, you said you are not running a lot of boardwipes but, why specifically did you chose to run Fumigate over cards like Cleansing Nova or Austere Command? I feel like one of the later two sweepers are stronger than Fumigate because of their ability to hit artifacts and enchantments also. Have you considered Martial Coup? 7 mana is a lot for a sweeper but, being left with 5 soldiers that you could use to get 5 Winota triggers the next turn could win you the game on the spot depending on what you draw.

Overall I think you have done a fantastic job so far and I am excited we finally get a true Boros commander!

Gadianten I had Selfless Spirit for a while but ended up cutting it for something else. I usually recover from boardwipes so well that I felt it was a “win more” card. Now I feel it’s price is too high for what it adds to the deck. Knight-Captain of Eos is actually awesome and off my radar! Thanks for the suggestions!

Seems fun, a couple of considerations for you deck are Selfless Spirit and Knight-Captain of Eos as they give you some interesting options.

The 3 I would remove myself are:

• Oath of Gideon because unless you’re casting a walker it’s pretty much a dead card.
• Oath of Liliana for the same reason.
• The Elderspell

The 3 I would add would be:

• Pir, Imaginative Rascal
• Spike Weaver
• Knight-Captain of Eos

Circle of Despair would be great as well but the only thing I could think of removing for it is one of your proliferate cards. That’s up to you on that one. The Wanderer is more of a meta dependent card. If your playgroup uses a lot of direct damage then I would add it. Dawnstrider is the weakest link of all of them so if you feel the need to add it you’ll have to figure out that one. Other than that I would definitely add the 3 and if possible the circle as well. They truly are game winners, at least they really work for my walker deck. I used to run Atraxa as well but I switched to Sisay, Weatherlight Captain once that set was released.

KayneMarco, out of those 5 cards, which ones would you add? I'm leaning towards Spike Weaver because it fits with the Atraxa proliferate ability, or Knight-Captain of Eos because of the synergy with Elspeth planeswalkers. What should I remove to include these cards? Take out one of my other removal cards, like Duneblast, Supreme Verdict, or The Elderspell? Or do I have some weak cards that don't quite fit the deck?

Here’s a few other cards that are great for protecting your walkers:

• Circle of Despair: sac token creatures to the circle. I know it isn’t worded on the card but it has been changed to any target
• Spike Weaver with Atraxa you’ll have plenty of counters to keep fogging
• Knight-Captain of Eos + both your Elspeths abilities to create more soldiers
• Dawnstrider are perfect ways to stop damage
• The Wanderer stops all direct damage to them.

Some of the best walker defenses are fog effects from:

• Knight-Captain of Eos to sac the soldiers being made from Elspeth.
• Spike Weaver and Spore Flower with proliferate effects from, say Atraxa, Praetors' Voice and your Karn’s Bastion
• Dawnstrider with draw effects and Seedborn Muse untapping it every turn
• Circle of Despair ain’t a full fog effect but if you’re making a lot of tokens you can protect every walker.

Your win rate with these abilities protecting your boardstate would increase dramatically. Speaking from experience running them in my superfriends deck.
