First test: A smashing success! —March 25, 2018
I finally got the chance to test the deck out! Got in three games and it was a blast!!
Game 1:
1v1 vs. Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger Edrazi tribal/Ramp. The very first game with the deck it worked like a dream. Early Worn Powerstone for a turn 4 F&S, then Neheb, the Eternal and Treasonous Ogre into a massive Comet Storm!
Game 2:
5 Player game because the rest of my friends showed up haha! Rough game for me personally, no ramp, Eldrazi player had a great start, threatening to cast Ulamog turn 6. I had nothing but Neheb and Gisela in hand so I couldn't play anything. Then the Mizzix of the Izmagnus player won out of no where(as you do when playing Mizzix).
Game 3:
Absolutely insane game. I spent the first 7 turns using Azor's Gateway Flip and also hard core ramping. The game involved the Eldrazi tribal and Narset, Enlightened Master popping off, with the rest of us playing damage control. Narset plays Cyclonic Rift but I'm able to rebuild with a lucky Sol Ring draw. Eldrazi player rebuilds instantly. I break up a Peregrine Drake + Deadeye Navigator combo from the oona queen of the fea player with a clutch Chaos Warp. Eldrazi player casts Oblivion Sower and steals 7 lands from me that I had exiled with Azor's Gateway Flip. The Breya, Etherium Shaper kills narset with a bunch of thopters. Oona player threatens to combo again. Then I get Sunforger. I cast my commander for the first time on turn 15ish, and get Sunforger on them. I threaten the eldrazi player with a Price of Progress via Sunforger and force him to kill Oona player. Then the Breya player attacks both Eldrazi and be for lethal, I pull the trigger on PoP killing Eldrazi with the lands he stole from me(sweet irony), and Teferi's Protection(that I had in hand all game) to fog Breya. Then next turn I recur Price of progress and kill Breya for the win! Insane fun!
Note #2: This will be the only game summery updates, as only the first is all that important. The rest will be in the primer!
Note #2: Starting to buy/trade for the cards of this deck.
Note #3: There may be some changes later, but I want to keep testing first.
Thanks for reading!
I have a list of my own up on site now, in case you are interested in making comparisons. I don't remember how to leave a shortcut to the deck here, so apologies.

What about Blaze Commando? Does it not have a strong enough impact?

Soulfire Mas In place of the Book of Rass? Or does the chance of blue prevent that? I dont know much about commander...

Chiberia it's 2 weeks actually. I uploaded March 9th :)
TheACTR sure I'll have a peek :)
Use the slug(words between the // in the URL) of your deck and plug it in like this:
[[deck-large:super-smash-boros-firesong-sunspeaker-edh]]
The -large isn't needed, it just makes it a thumbnail instead of a text link
Agent_Fire I kinda end up killing my own tokens. I'd include Monastery Mentor before the commando if I end up wanting them.
Flooremoji do you mean Soulfire Grand Master? Can't run becasue of the blue in the ability :)
Also, I like Book of Rass.
Thanks all for 100 upvotes! Love ya all!

Im building this deck as well you beat me to the punch on this one! I think its the only Boros commander that is even remotely interesting
I reccomend Blood Sun normally i wouldnt reccomend it because its just a mediocre card in commander but in Boros turning Guildgates, and tapped duels into all upsides is actually a perk. Boros mana is generally just bad, and the cantrip doesnt hurt either.
Im going with a Boros Reckoner subtheme in my take on the deck seeing cards like Blasphemous Act and Star of Extinction are probs staples for the deck and Im sure we wont have a shortage of red damage based wipes why not get some damage in while doing it! maybe some of the new Dino's may fit in this theme as well with enrage triggers? idk just a thought
cant go wrong with Dualcaster Mage and Balefire Liege
Like Im stoked to finally play a Boros Commander that isnt simply hyperaggro :D

No problem Suns_Champion. Happy to help. Knowledge is power and all that. If it helps, Righteous Confluence, like Fiery Confluence has separate triggers on the same spell that would help Firesong and Sunspeaker get extra damage in. And cards like Reviving Dose are Sunforgable and good for the Cantrip life gain and extra damage.
