Thank you for your nice responses and for your upvote. It dawned on me after my last post that I had missed a couple of things.

Firstly, under certain circumstances, Zada, Hedron Grinder could be an exceptional target for Seize the Day . Just having one Instant/Sorcery to target her with is still pretty narrow, but it is something. If you decide to keep Zada for the time being, then select a different 4-5 cmc Goblin to pull instead.

Secondly, I forgot to list Thornbite Staff among those cards critical to your deck. I would suggest pulling one of the higher mana costing Artifacts to make room for it.

Once you have completed this revision, I think that you will find that most of your mana problems will no longer be problems. I also think that you will have a deck capable of winning some games.

If, a few weeks or months down the road you want to chat about a second revision, feel free to contact me.

Thanks and good hunting! Pappy

I'd recommend Tangleroot as a good, seldom-seen ramp effect in green. If you wanna cut something I'd cut Seize the Day. Feels very win more in a deck that's already prepared to swing for 20+ power in a turn.

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.

Also, have you considered cards that give Jared an additional attack, like Seize the Day, or Waves of Aggression?

Looks fun. I disagree with the other commenters regarding draw/recovery. I think that these partners are best played as a glass-cannon, all or nothing, win early or bust strategy. This is just my 2 cents but I would make the following swaps:

Impulsive Pilferer -> Skirk Prospector. T1 Prospector = T2 Jeska!

Arcane Signet -> Simian Spirit Guide

Lightning Bolt -> Rite of Flame

Chandra, Torch of Defiance -> Lotus Petal

Leyline Tyrant -> Seize the Day

Trailblazer's Boots -> Dust Corona

Solemn Simulacrum -> Treasonous Ogre

Loyal Apprentice -> Inquisitor's Flail

Fireblade Charger -> Smoke

Champion of the Flame -> Neheb, the Eternal

Monastery Swiftspear -> Captive Flame

Koth of the Hammer -> Relentless Assault

Ruby Medallion -> Dockside Extortionist

Ring of Valkas -> Relic Axe

Whispersilk Cloak -> Champion's Helm. Rograkh having shroud could be problematic for you.

Lightning Greaves -> Taste for Mayhem

Seize the Day, Open the Armory and Jeska's Will

I sometimes will also board wipe with Wrath of God (although Divine Reckoning is arguably better)

KidEnkidu on Ishai/Kediss Group Beatdown EDH V1.2

I like this list, I was curious about brewing the same thing when Kediss was spoiled, give the Ishai that's been sitting in my binder since 2016 some play. Really nice curve for a first draft, too!

2 suggestions: (1) I can't help but feel that Tragic Arrogance would be much better for you than Single Combat. I don't like that Single Combat stops you from rebuilding on your next turn, plus Tragic Arrogance gives you the choice of what your opponent's sacrifice. (2) Perhaps Whispersilk Cloak over Prowler's Helm. I get that shroud is not always ideal in a voltron list compared to hexproof, but with Ishai I'd imagine you don't really need to target him often, since he grows on his own. Would kinda suck if you wanted to use something like Seize the Day, sure, but I think more often than not you'd appreciate the protection from spot removal that the cloak adds. 5 mana invest for protection and unblockable is a much better rate than 4 mana investment for just unblockable.
