Tokens of a Feather, spellsling together

Commander / EDH* RW (Boros)

Ca1m_down


I've wanted to build a Boros EDH deck for a while, but nothing has spoken with me enough to get past the brewing stage. Tiana, Ship's Caretaker has been the closest before Feather was spoiled.

I went though a couple of different iterations and I ended up with this one. The basic plan is to ramp, produce lots of tokens, then end the game with Zada, Hedron Grinder or Mirrorwing Dragon . There is also a Sunforger and a blink/flicker subtheme.

Ramp:

Produce lots of tokens:

End the game with Zada, Hedron Grinder or Mirrorwing Dragon :

Protect your creatures:

Sweet Tech:

  • Sunforger is a crazy card that lets us tutor any of the instant pieces we want
  • Magnetic Theft can be a cheeky little "steal your equipment" type of effect, but I think it truly shines with our Sunforger . It allows you to "reload" the sunforger to grab any instant from our deck at instant speed. So the first activation of Sunforger will often be for Magnetic Theft, then we'll be able to keep tutoring/casting more instants for RRW on each of our opponents turns
  • Intimidation Bolt on Feather lets us shut down opponents combat steps
  • Aurelia's Fury is fantastic as an instant speed rolling thunder that we can buyback by targeting one of our creatures with 1 of the points of damage. It also can turn off noncreature spells for players, so it's particularly good when played in an opponents upkeep.
  • Blinding Beam can lock down an opponents creatures from untapping with buyback if you entwine it and target one of your creatures with the tap effect
  • Divergent Transformations is a powerful way to either turn our tokens into creatures from our deck and/or deal with problem creatures our opponents have
  • Orim's Thunder gives us a way to buyback our artifact/enchantment removal by targeting one of our higher toughness creatures or a token when we kick it
  • Indomitable Creativity is similar to Divergent Transformations, but can fetch our artifacts as well
  • Since flashback allows us to get our spells back in hand, Past in Flames does an excellent job of restocking our hand with the instants/sorceries we might have "lost" earlier in the game
  • Akroan Conscriptor gives us the ability to Act of Treason at instant speed for each spell we cast
  • Dreadhorde Arcanist buys back instants/sorceries in our graveyard
  • Stoneforge Mystic and Taj-Nar Swordsmith get our Sunforger or other sweet equipment. They also both work well with blink/flicker effects.
  • Tethmos High Priest gets back 7 of our utility creatures at instant speed
