(OP Revising in progess...)
(NOTE: This is a Topic for cEDH Players that seem to know Boros on a more positive note.)
First Card: Hushbringer . It's no Hushwing Gryff , but I dun even know if there is a way cEDH Boros can use Flash besides Vedalken Orrery . Torpor Orb is another good alt. But this is one Step Up to the Plate; Not only would Creatures' ETB Triggers get negated, but death triggers do nil. Sure, Aristocrats may be too able to prevent creatures from dying before this Fae dies first. But in the right hands, this can potentially lock them down, but are they truly worth cEDH Standards?
Q: W/ ETB/Death Triggers biting the dust, what ideas would you add instead of, say, Eldrazi Displacer ? This is an entire rebuild as stuff like Hushbringer & Torpor Orb seem to lock all that down.
Second Card: Deafening Silence
One spell each turn? How about only playing one Noncreature Spell each turn? This might move as a Mana Color, forcing others to restrict to mostly creatures; & I could've thought some of the better decks don't run that many Creatures anyway; Sans CMDR. This can a hard card to beat. Unless your cEDH Deck has few Creatures, this could force your opponents to Scoop if played precisely.
Q: How much trimming down mostly noncreatures by the time the deck is at 100 cards might be needed??
Well, Throne of Eldraine has a full spoiler, but I've no clue how Adventure Cards Work. That said, both Hushbringer & Deafening Silence are great adds; but this also gets to a point of frustration as so many of my Creatures ETB. I just hope any of my combos I did work on was for at least something. I'm going to need your help all over again. If I add both aforementioned Mono- cards, & if I keep Rest in Peace in, Death Triggers won't matter, meaning Hushbringer & Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero are not needed. But what about Deafening Silence ? Would it be a true stallion? Also, should I keep one of the following, or both: Hushwing Gryff , & Torpor Orb ? & in any of that case, how to surpass them both in Boros Colors? I'm even working on combos that prove Boros is more than just Aggro, Stax, & even Mill. We're talking Card Draw, LEGIT Mana Ramp, & other effects. What would you cut just to get even a little closer to 100 cards?
Thanks for still hanging onto me to show the cEDH Players that this might be worth using, that said, I'd like some constructive criticism, & some cuts if any; Some wanted me to quit. I say MUCH different. Two awesome cards in cEDH Boros; IN ONE SET? That's pretty good IMO; at least this means WotC does care in some aspects...
Thanks for any suggestions, if any, & I hope actual cEDH Players help this time, I feel the last several times I did this, I've too few cEDH Players who run Boros even now, & more "Casual" players instead.
Just tell me your cEDH experience, & I'll let you suggest adds, or cuts. Otherwise, this OP is now closed.
Honorable Unmentioned: Fires of Invention : I wonder how I can incorporate this to cEDH Boros; Experiment Frenzy is completely Random, but I've Rule of Law & Eidolon of Rhetoric anyways. So my only problem is to play as many lands as possible. I wonder if it's worth it...
@bushido_man96: I actually noted several questions, & the now removed Cold Open, which was an Homage to Black Sheep Squadron; one of the most iconic shows of the 70's.
I'm SERIOUSLY trying all I can to trim huge fat. Maybe the problem is my knack for Thematic Elements... Maybe I should force myself to cut that trash in twain.
It really blows when nobody helps in the case of something that it's Color Identity is very hard to achieve; Tier 3 is the Highest we got so far...
Basically put, I'm removing as much stuff as possibibble so at least someone actually wants to care. Apologies for such a huge wall; it just is it the maximum amount of shame I can't trim enough to know what everyone wants. Suggestions at least? After that, we'll talk. Sorry though... DX

Honestly, I think you need to do your best to keep each question limited to one concise one sentence question potentially accompanied by a one sentence addendum if any more information is needed. Then have an obvious break before next question.
Example: Are Hushbringer and Deafening silence good enough for cEDH? I am concerned that Hushbringer doesn't have flash.
Can Kiki+ Bellringer still work? If not, are there any combos you would suggest instead?

GhostChieftain: I was literally sitting down to say exactly this, but you beat me to it!

Hmph. I'll have to edit the OP in such a way in my power then; but my problem isn't that Hushbringer doesn't have Flash, but can lockdown most of the Creature list. I'll do something similar in regards to all that. Once I'm finished, THEN, we can sit down & talk. A least your suggestion seems reasonable, GhostChieftain. That at least is a possible bare minimum approach I'll try when I return to make an UBER-OVERHAUL on the OP. I'll thumbs up your comment for that; which is rarer from me than most. :/ I guess starting a topic w/ any kind of fiction as a base leads to quite a calamity. BTW, I have other things to address first. Then I'll clean up the landfill when I'm temporarily satisfied. BRB. ;)

...and, another long-winded post in which we have to sift through the chaff to find out what in the world your question really is...(that is, if we are willing to read through it all and offer help).
Seriously, these long, rambling posts suck.
Yes, Hushbringer and Deafening Silence look decent enough to play in cEDH. They shut things down, for sure, and are probably worth playing if you are in a heavy combo or spellslinging meta. Or, if you just like watching games grind to a screeching halt. Whichever.
Other than that, what was the question, again?
