Hey Crow_Umbra, sorry for the radio silence. Become a bit more busy with non-MTG stuff, so I got less time for brewing, sadly.
"Support" suspicions are just going to be part of playing this deck, so I've accepted that's going to be something I'm gonna run into. I do mostly play with a relatively consistent group of friends (read: like 5 different groups, some with some overlapping players, but all with similar vibes), and they do look at me with suspicion, but are most of the time greedy enough that they'll take advantage of my almost-symmetrical support cards. If they ever choose to destroy them or otherwise turn them off for the others, that tends to draw the table's ire, so most of the time they don't unless everyone agrees they're becoming an issue, in which case I can hardly blame them. I'm currently still mostly feeling that I'm going to try to leave goad out of it as much as possible, safe for a few choice cards (Taunt from the Rampart hasn't shined yet, but I'm feeling it will at some point).
Alright, now on to the card discussions.
-
I'm leaving Xantcha, Sleeper Agent
and Emberwilde Captain in the maybeboard. Your arguments are very valid, but I do feel like the don't vibe enough with the "support" idea. -
I had Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser
in my deck before and removed her, because she's an odd play. With my lack of goad or other ways to force attacks, I have very little control over the amount of cards I draw with her, if I draw any. I imagine she'd work great as a commander, since you can reliably have her on the field in the early to mid game, where plenty of people attack each other, but I think she does a lot worse as a late-game topdeck. -
Kambal, Profiteering Mayor feels like a "one step too far" kinda card. If my entire point was to give my opponents tokens, then he'd be amazing, but I feel like he's going to not do anything far too often (although I will admit that I don't quite now how often my playgroups play tokens).
-
Master Warcraft has one mayor flaw that I'm pretty sure a good chunk of my playgroup will notice: I can force an attack, but I can't force them to not attack me, and my playgroups are spiteful enough that that is exactly what will happen :P
-
Batwing Brume is interesting. It's going on the maybeboard for now, since I'm not sure if the problem it fixes is one I run into all that often, but it does feel like a beautiful blindside.
Currently, Ghostly Prison and Brutal Hordechief are most likely going to be in the next version.
Besides that, I'm reviewing:
- The beaters I have in the deck, since they don't feel strong enough. It's not like I didn't know Skysovereign, Consul Flagship and Tajic, Blade of the Legion weren't the best in slot, but the little hope I had for them has been dashed.
- Different graveyard hate (I'm recently formed the opinion that Bojuka Bog really only works in a lands deck), and Kutzil's Flanker is currently my most considered option.
- Lands and ramp. Thran Dynamo was way better when Endbringer was going to be a part of the deck, and the deck feels too color-heavy to run it otherwise. Similar thoughts about the pain-lands. Also, I've adopted the "Chromatic Lantern is bad" position.

As a win condition, Assemble the Legion tends to be a fair bit stronger than Outlaws' Merriment . And as far as aggro is concerned, I'd rather be playing Aurelia or Tajic, Blade of the Legion on 4. If you want to go all-in on the multicolored anthem effects, you could certainly run both. I once ran ATL, Merriment, Goblinslide , and Rise of the Hobgoblins in the same deck with Legion's Initiative with solid results, although it was an enchantment only build reliant on Starfield of Nyx . Still, Balefire Liege does love lots of Boros tokens.

Jeska, Thrice commander damage

Omniscience_is_life- Thanks for the input. I've decided to try a lot of the changes you mentioned. I have added
Charging Tuskodon
,
Fiendish Duo
,
Halvar, God of Battle
Flip,
Reyav, Master Smith
,
Mind Stone
, and
Teferi's Protection
.
I decided to drop Godsend , Toolcraft Exemplar , Tajic, Blade of the Legion , Worn Powerstone , Commander's Sphere , Ajani, Strength of the Pride , and finally Talisman of Conviction .
I have added some cards to my maybeboard that I may try to add in at some point.
My deck's boardwipes already have Austere Command , Blasphemous Act , Divine Reckoning , Single Combat and my personal favorite Tragic Arrogance .
Thanks again for your wonderful suggestions!

Jeska, Thrice commander damage

Three-mana rocks are almost never ideal, and even though Worn Powerstone and Commander's Sphere are some of the better ones I still suggest you cut them.
Replacement options are Mind Stone , Thought Vessel , Wayfarer's Bauble (not a rock, but a damn good card!), and Fellwar Stone .
Ajani, Strength of the Pride is an excellent card, but given that 1. if your commander gets in for damage your opponent should already be dead--and the rest are to come--and 2. if your commander has not gotten in for damage then Ajani doesn't kill anything. And then you're up a creek.
I might consider replacing him with any number of the boardwipes in your colors ( Wrath of God , Blasphemous Act , Austere Command , etc).
Tajic, Blade of the Legion can certainly get on for a lot of damage with Your Commanders in play, but I question his worthiness, given that dependance.
If you want a creature that'll swing for many, many points of life... look no further than Charging Tuskodon . If my math is correct, giving this beautiful Dino doublestrike and triple damage, he'll hit for 48 damage (a lot).
Similarly to Tajic , I believe Toolcraft Exemplar might be too low-impact. Maybe, in it's stead, a Reyav, Master Smith / Halvar, God of Battle Flip?
I might forgo Flickering Ward in favor of a Teferi's Protection --it's one of the best catch-all protection spells, hard not to want.
Prowler's Helm could probably be upgraded to Trailblazer's Boots .
Love the deck, keep it up! Excited to see where it goes in the future
