Hello guys and gals! This is my home-brew of a Boros control deck, something that I love playing and would love to have be competitive in the current meta-game. Here is the breakdown of the deck and why I chose the cards that I did:
MAINDECK:
Creatures:
4x [Sunscorch Regent]: In my mind, the most powerful of the "regent" cycle of the new set. A great card that demands to be dealt with right away or else it can get annoying to keep up with.2x [Seeker of the Way]: Just a solid 2-drop that triggers off many cards in the deck and can provide early pressure and lifegain to make the mid- to late-game easier to get to.2x [Soulfire Grand Master]: Works great with any burn spell and allows for even better early burn and removal that allow for a early pulling ahead in the game.
Enchantments:
3x [Chained to the Rocks]: Pretty self-explanatory. Just a good card in general.2x [Banishing Light]: it hits everything except lands and [Stormbreath Dragon]... Sign me up!2x [Outpost Siege]: Great for card advantage in a deck that does not contain blue for card draw spells. And if need be, I can turn on the Dragons effect if the deck needs the extra seekers brought in to finish off the opponent.
Sorceries:
2x [End Hostilities]: Solid board-wipe effect that can clear the way for a planeswalker or simply save me from an army on the other side of the table.1x [Roast]: What I would give to make this an instant... hence why there is only one in the deck. But, a 2 mana spell that can kill [Polukranos] is fine by me. 2x [Tormenting Voice]: Mainly card draw that can filter your hand by discarding excess land or simply cards you don't need.
Instants:
1x [Channel Harm]: Great way to stop an alpha attack in its tracks, as well as pick off the biggest threat on the field.2x [Commune with Lava]: I LOVE THIS CARD. Can provide a sweet finisher to a stalemate game or something that can allow you to dig for an answer to issues on the opponent's side of the field.4x [Deflecting Palm]: Very funny little trick that some don't usually see coming. Also, it gets around [Stormbreath Dragon] (can you tell I have an issue with this card?)1x [Devouring Light]: Great little trick that allows for the exiling of big treats at a reasonable mana cost that can be made even cheaper if I have creatures out.
NOTES:
I know that some might think that
Thanks so much for checking out my deck! Please feel free to leave suggestions and +1's are always appreciated! Some playtesting should show me flaws in the deck.
