Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Gleam of Battle

I like Avacyn, Angel of Hope, how could you not like Avacyn, Angel of Hope, this is easly one of the best white cards ever printed. Im very aware of this card and what it can do for any deck really. Problem is at $35 bucks its about 1/5th of the decks total cost. This is fairly a budget build. If my budget wasnt a factor that one would be in here. Gleam of Battle was in my maybe board for a while cause it almost made the cut. Its just not good enough for its mana cost. If i was building a this deck based more off of +1/+1 counters then yes it would make the cut. Both good suggestions. Thanks.

Yeah! Lightning Helix is also always a good choice, but I understand 3 damage isn't great in EDH, but for the occasional bob, dryad arbor, ETC, it can help

Sunscorch Regent is another card you might want to run if you're playing multiplayer.

Every deck needs a big fatty. Serra Avatar 7 mana, or Sunscorch Regent 5 mana?

what about Balefire Dragon to combo with Basilisk Collar

That would be fun

I got to get my hands on a Balefire Dragon, that card is awesome. But how do you guys feel about adding Rest in Peace considering i have no grave recursion. Stranglehold is already in here cause i dont search eithe, except for the one card but thats besides the point. The point is, to do what boros does best law and order and caos and anger... whats your thouts on Rest in Peace and what should i take out for it. HeroInMyOwnMind, Karns_Pyromancer, CheeseBro, ninjaman16782,

I would cut Blasphemous Act for Balefire Dragon. The reason is that Balefire can't hit your stuff (and if they manage to deflect the damage, Iroas protects your stuff).

Rest in Peace is a good card, but unless your meta has more than one or two graveyard-decks, I'd sideboard it.

Austere Command? would be a good answer to enhancements and artifacts something your deck is low on right now. also you know wrath effect for emergency or when all you have is your commander. also definitely keep avacyn.

the silent arbiter is a good card because it essentially makes your attacker unblockable but there are better options especially with all the battle cry in the deck

super impressed with this page and your deck good job man.

thank you. i consider myself addicted to this stuff, both making decks under or around 200 bucks, and making a cool web page descriptions. if you need any help with your decks id be glad to help

Consider adding in the card Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, cause double damage and double health is pretty sweet.

Oh yea, im very aware of her. thats why shes on my maybeboard. She, would put my deck on the next lvl if i had her in it. Ive had my eyes on her since the begening. If i added her, she would be the second most valuable card in the deck. Right in between Sword of Feast and Famine, and Aggravated Assault. Understand that this is budget, and those to tegeather is a win condition. Adding her adds so many one strike commander damage win cons to the deck. So she is highly considerable. And considering i win on commander damage alot its not a bad sugestion. Thank you and when i feel the need to upgrade the power lvl of the deck. I will add her to it.

@naeite. After many games and testing i found that you are right about the enchantment thing. so i cut World Queller for Argentum Armor. it's high on mana coast, but doesn't hurt my own stuff, and that's important for my devotion to iroas

Hey man! I love Boros, probably my favourite guild! Just a question, any reason why you're not running Gisela, Blade of Goldnight? Is it because of her stupidly high CMC?

Yes

Just... beautiful

Thanks I love this deck. It's really aggressive. Can beat a table in 7 turns. But it runs out of gas in long games

Runs out of gas late-game you say? Knollspine Dragon and Dragon Mage say hello.

I was actually thinking about Knollspine Dragon

I like the deck. It has a lot of things going on. Everything has a reason for being here, which made cuts hard to make. Without sacrificing your theme too much, here are my suggestions:

It's good to have a hard board wipe available in the deck. Sometimes you just need them. Chain Reaction is your weakest board wipe because sometimes it just won't be big enough. I recommend swapping it for Wrath of God or Day of Judgment. Or Akroma's Vengeance if you want it to hit enchants/artifacts too.

This is a very agressive deck that wants to attack. Silent Arbiter really crimps on its gameplay. I know it makes your one attacker unblockable with Iroas, but it'll hurt more than help in most cases. A nice, on-theme alternative is Angelic Arbiter that still slows down attacking opponents.

I think the deck could use some protection from spot removal so I would recommend Lightning Greaves which can be fetched with Stonehewer Giant and Mother of Runes. To make room, I would cut Sublime Archangel and Nobilis of War, not because they are bad or weak cards, but rather because the abilities they provide are some of the weakest among the deck, especially the Nobilis. You've already got so many p/t buffs, cutting the Nobilis for a protective card will be to your benefit. Since this deck really wants to swing relentlessly, Sublime Archangel doesn't cooperate.

A couple more thoughts I had would be to add Odric, Master Tactician in place of Boros Battleshaper and maybe Odric, Lunarch Marshal to spread the keywords around more, mostly flying and haste. I also tried to find space for Savage Beating but the deck is so light on non-permanent spells I really couldn't decide on anything to cut.

Blade of Selves almost got an honorable mention but too many creatures have "on attack" triggers and since the Blade puts them in already attacking, they miss these triggers.

I did not price-check anything so some of my suggestions may be out of budget range. Hope you find some good suggestions here.

Rakka Mar, Argentum Armor, Assemble the Legion, Sublime Archangel, Silent Arbiter, and Archetype of Aggression. Are all the cards I have considered making changes to. I hope that helps everyone out.

Stuff that seems bad:

• Silent Arbiter
• Chain Reaction
• Argentum Armor
• Kusari-Gama
• Angelic Field Marshal
• Archetype of Aggression
• Boros Battleshaper (ik ik, I love him too)
• Butcher Orgg though he may just be too righteous to take out.
• Laccolith Titan

Will suggest some replacements in time.

• Bloodfire Colossus is alright.
• Avatar of Slaughter
• War's Toll
• Stony Silence
• Kataki, War's Wage
