Deck seems super sweet. I can’t figure out why Stuffy Doll is included. Could you explain?

@Daveslab2022 hey! You commented on my other deck too! Thanks for the help! To explain Stuffy Doll...

It's another indestructible card first off, so it will survive World Slayer. It's ability is slow but effective especially if its the only thing left on the field.

It is also a great blocker. You get to chose which player will take all damage that Stuffy Doll takes when it enters the battlefield. So it will deter that person (in multiplayer especially) from attacking me.

Nemesis Mask + Stuffy Doll plus whatever else I have attacking means massive damage and all of my swords triggering.

Stuffy Doll + Pariah's Shield basically allows me to enter godmode.

All of these pieces to this puzzle are fished out by all the draw or Expedition Map into Inventors' Fair.

It's really not the main win condition anymore but its a really good card to fall back on and use as a blocker.

I feel like adding red to your deck will give you a lot of additional options. You could make the case for things like Goblin Engineer, Trash for Treasure, and even Magnetic Theft. Even Vulshok Battlemaster might be worth considering in this. There's also Simian Spirit Guide to wear a sword or help rebuild after something else had. Just my thoughts though.

If you did want to test some of these ideas, then I would probably cut some of the higher costing creatures cards to make room.

The biggest thing to consider though is your mana base when trying this.

Again, just my thoughts and gl.

@psionictemplar adding that much red would fundamentally change the way the deck works. Im also not a big fan of having to sac anything to play something from my graveyard.

I will however commend you for your suggestion of Magnetic Theft that card is AMAZING! The fact that I can attach Worldslayer to my opponents creature after I declare no blockers... I'm drooling at how epically hilarious that would be!

I've added 3 copies of it and upgraded the Forest to be a Stomping Ground

Haha Magnetic Theft? More like “I’m going to shove this into your hand and watch the world burn”

You know, all these years and I had never considered using m. theft to equip an opponents guy. That's pretty funny right there. It would totally have that villainous feel for me.

But that would make me personally want to add the simians I suggested just for that lol. Anyhow gl hf with it...not sure how else to contribute further.

i take it your weakness is prolly any burn deck cause i run a boros burn deck and it totally wrecks just about every other deck.

mikeb388 granted burn decks are pretty tough, but that is the exact reason I have the Pariah's Shield + Stuffy Doll combo. Even if it only buys me a couple of turns thats usually all I need. Most burn decks run on a low amount of creatures too, which means fewer blockers to get past.

Sword of War and Peace and Sword of Fire and Ice are also there to prevent cards like Soul-Scar Mage or other UWR cards that deal with indestructible creatures.

What does your boros burn deck run? I have been curious to see how this deck would run against RW burn.

I mean most boros burn decks are pretty similar, haha

BTW you should probably remove the tag cruel control, since that refers to grixis control decks running Cruel Ultimatum (sorry for the double post)

zapyourtumor it keeps auto assigning incorrect tags no mater how many times I try to correct it :L

rip

I've had it auto assign color tags all the time but never anything else

I guess the only solution is to fill up all 6 tag slots

ok orvos here is the deck. https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/29-08-20-boros-burnlifegain/

mikeb388 I keep seeing your comments about how burn would destroy the deck you're commenting on lmao

for an equipment/artifact deck, red and green are kind of irregular colors. i had a hard time, using this, posing a threat for quite some time until there was a nemesis mask ready to go. swords are good, hence their value, but not reliable in small amounts. given that you have 3 magnetic theft's in for the main deck, have you considered using Cranial Plating? there's a lot of artifacts being brought out, which is good, but i don't see the need to have indestructible creatures to also have protection when the likelihood of someone using exile-effects is very minimal. with the lack of trample, as well, maybe put in some "combat trick" instants to accommodate that (such as Predator's Strike)

rb701 the whole point of this deck is to fish out World Slayer and blow everything up. A lot of my stuff is indestructible because it would survive that.

Magnetic Theft is a combat trick. Allows me to throw worldslayer on any unblocked creature before combat damage, either my opponents or my own.

Darksteel Juggernaut is basically the same thing as cranial plating.

The red green colors are specifically only for magnetic theft and Ancient Stirrings.

The deck plays very defensive, T1 and T2 are 90% of the time spent prepping for a big drop on T3 or 4.

I also think you may have been looking at an outdated version. I updated the list today and removed all of the "sword of" cards... I came to the same conclusion you did.

I'm surprised that you didn't include Darksteel Forge, other than the high casting cost.

SideshowBlob its a good card. I did consider it but i came to the conclusion that all of my creatures, 2 equipments, and 4 lands are already indestructible and worldslayer doesnt destroy itself. Whichever creature triggers world slayer is going to be able to do it again on my next turn making Darksteel forge more of a win more rather than a game changer.
