You can ramp quite a bit using artifacts, but you have so many X spells for a Boros deck! They also don't do anything with freebies like Wildfire Eternal (or copy spells, you're pretty unlikely to hit critical mana where they double effectively), so pick a couple good ones and call it a day. Drop a few of the "whenever damage is dealt to this creature, do stuff" like Stormwild Capridor and Truefire Captain... you have enough hoops to jump through as is. Ritual of Rejuvenation, Volcanic Vision, and Horizon Stone need to go. Consider Battlefield Forge and Talisman of Conviction! You'll have life to spare. Another thing. You have all of these "deal a bunch of damage to all creatures" effects, which is great, but you also have a bunch of "prevent noncombat damage that would be dealt to your creatures" effects too, which sorta defeats the purpose of all of your "whenever damage is dealt to this creature, do stuff" creatures. PLEASE listen when I say: pick a strategy and lean into it!

Hey, nice upgrades so far.

Since you added Basalt Monolith and Rings of Brighthearth consider also adding Staff of Domination? Staff is an outlet with infinite colorless mana to draw and cast artifacts, repeatable sac and exile them with Osgir. Staff with infinite mana lets you repeatedly tap and untap Osgir. Goblin Engineer can tutor for any one of these combo artifacts, get it into your graveyard to reanimate by sacing any other artifact or exile it with Osgir.

Oswald Fiddlebender is a repeatable artifact tutor from Adventures of the Forgotten Realms who also gets artifacts into your graveyard to exile with Osgir. Lotus Bloom and Sol Talisman are mana rocks that have suspend, but they're CMC is 0. When they're in your graveyard they cost zero mana to exile with Osgir. You have cards here that make you discard and these are artifacts you want to discard. Boros Signet and Talisman of Conviction are more two drop Boros mana rocks.

Some changes to consider:

• Staff of Domination --> Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer
• Goblin Engineer --> Hellkite Igniter
• Oswald Fiddlebender --> Hoard-Smelter Dragon
• Lotus Bloom --> Rout
• Sol Talisman --> Boros Locket
• Boros Signet --> Temple of the False God
• Talisman of Conviction --> Forgotten Cave

Good luck with your deck.

It always helps to have mana rocks. Sol Ring , Talisman of Conviction , Talisman of Hierarchy and Talisman of Indulgence

Hey, nice personal version. I respect you're willing to post for critique your personal deck that you're currently playing.

An area to consider improving is ramp. Consider cutting some basic lands especially Swamps for more low CMC mana rocks?

• Arcane Signet
• Talisman of Hierarchy
• Talisman of Conviction
• Talisman of Indulgence

You can get ramp other ways than mana rocks such as Rakdos, Lord of Riots who's underrated with Kaalia. Can also be a backup to more easily cast high CMC creatures if you can't cheat them onto the battlefield with Kaalia. Rakdos could replace Iona, Shield of Emeria because she's banned in multiplayer EDH/Commander.

40 lands with 27 basic lands isn't a good ratio for color fixing when you need all three colors equally. You can't count on having Chromatic Lantern every game for color fixing, but you should consistently be able to count on your lands. Bloodstained Mire is great, nice Expedition, but currently it can't fetch a white source because there's no Swamp/Plains or Mountain/Plains land. Savai Triome , Godless Shrine and Sacred Foundry are Plains lands that Mire can search for.

Less lands, more color fixing and more ramp will help gameplay. You want at least 20 sources of each color from lands in the manabase which is completely doable with the already high budget. My advice is cut basic lands for more dual lands. I'll suggest two different tiers of land improvements to consider based on your current budget.

Tier 1 (more expensive lands, better color fixing): more Rainbow lands, more Fetch lands, Shock lands, Bond lands.

• Mana Confluence
• Exotic Orchard
• Forbidden Orchard
• Marsh Flats
• Arid Mesa
• Savai Triome
• Godless Shrine
• Sacred Foundry
• Blood Crypt
• Vault of Champions
• Spectator Seating
• Luxury Suite

Tier 2 (less expensive lands, less color fixing): lesser Rainbow lands, Bond lands, Pathways and Filter lands.

• Exotic Orchard
• Savai Triome : for Mire to fetch.
• Path of Ancestry
• Vault of Champions
• Spectator Seating
• Caves of Koilos
• Brightclimb Pathway  ^Flip
• Needleverge Pathway  ^Flip
• Graven Cairns
• Rugged Prairie
• Fetid Heath

I offer more advice. Would you like more advice? Good luck with your deck.

Hey, you're welcome.

Some changes to consider:

• Vile Entomber --> Ankle Shanker
• Unmarked Grave --> Humble Defector
• Goblin Bombardment --> Mardu Ascendancy
• Viscera Seer --> Butcher of the Horde
• Karmic Guide --> Tajic, Blade of the Legion
• Ravenous Chupacabra --> Intrepid Hero
• Solemn Simulacrum --> Utter End
• Zephyr Boots --> Anointed Procession
• Exotic Orchard --> Temple of the False God
• Spectator Seating --> Wind-Scarred Crag
• Vault of Champions --> Temple of Triumph
• Talisman of Conviction or Boros Signet --> Darksteel Ingot
• Talisman of Hierarchy or Orzhov Signet --> Savai Crystal

Both Goblin Bombardment and Viscera Seer are sac outlets that add to the infinite combo here of Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit + Murderous Redcap . Anointed Procession is a good card, but it's an expensive price card that's not doing much here because there's not a strong token sub theme. By sub theme I mean 10 or more cards that care about tokens. You could add more creatures who create tokens when they ETB such as Siege-Gang Commander , but I don't think you need them.

Ankle Shanker is an attack trigger which you will not get when you reanimate him with Alesha. Creatures who have a tap activated ability are less good with Alesha since when you reanimate them with her they ETB tapped not letting them tap to activate.

Dope deck! I have some suggestions you might find useful

Armament master will not consistently bring you value. Replace with something like Fervent Champion

Brass Squire seems good, but for 3 mana Zirda, the Dawnwaker will provide more value

IMO, Jor Kardeen and Resolute Blademaster could be replaced with mana rocks like Arcane Signet and Talisman of Conviction to get more mana for equip cost and to lower the average CMC of the deck substantially.

Enjoy!
