Overblaze

Instant — Arcane

Each time target permanent would deal damage to a creature or player this turn, it deals double that damage to that creature or player instead.

Splice onto Arcane (2)(Red)(Red) (As you play an Arcane spell, you may reveal this card from your hand and pay its splice cost. If you do, add this card's effects to that spell.)

Thanks for your interest ---Seth---, glad you like the deck.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever really attacked with The Unspeakable. He's more there for flavor. I've even considered cutting him before.

Even with that, Overblaze's 4 CMC cost makes it a very steep play. It's also only doubling the damage for one of your permanents, and only on the turn the card is played, and after you spend the mana. Not very cost effective, even with splice.

If you want a souped-up doubler that is still $ cheap, consider cutting The Unspeakable, the two Gelectrodes, and the two Goblin Electromancers for one more copy of Guttersnipe and four Quest for Pure Flames. The Quests can lead to an incredibly lethal Turn 5-6.

Gaze of Adamaro has a high CMC cost and is very situational. Some other good sideboard options might be Blind with Anger, Consuming Vortex, Eye of Nowhere, or Ideas Unbound.

So I have been wanting to play Magic again, and this deck looks awesome. I have since ordered it and plan to take it out to FNM soon.

I was looking at Arcane cards under $2 and found Overblaze and was curious what you think of it. I'm imagining one copy to play the turn The Unspeakable swings in. It seems hilarious to me, but I wouldn't know what to take out for it.

I'm also curious about the sideboard. I was thinking 1 Aura Barbs and 1 Gaze of Adamaro.

I don't have a lot of experience or card knowledge, so just fishing for thoughts.

Yeah I have that in the deck. I even run an Overblaze that I can find with Sunforger for when you don't have the Taunter and you need to oneshot someone. Blazing Sunsteel , Hammer of Nazahn and Overblaze on the same creature taking damage, can keep targeting itself with the Sunsteel, doubling the damage every iteration. That's as much damage as you like on a single target when you break the loop. I once removed an Overloaded Cyclonic Rift from the stack by shooting its owner in the face for 3x2^10-ish damage.

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.

Insidious Will...

...Idk if you wanted to do this or not (it seems like you avoided Increasing Vengeance, etc.)... Idk if you feel like you need them, but just a heads up...

-1 Fling... because the sacrifice is a cost you can't throw Kalamax twice T.T

-1 Ravenous Gigantotherium... so fat... ur tokens step 2 so this is step 3... slow!

-3 Electrostatic Field/Guttersnipe/Murmuring Mystic... idk if I like these... you're not playing for pure storm and these don't trigger off copies.

-1 Hunting Pack... so fat... so slow? Also doesn't trigger off copies.
