This is a control/burn Boros deck.

The goal of the deck is to use the value provided by Firesong and Sunspeaker to gain life and keep under control enemy commanders until we can finish off our opponents with burn spells or with big board clears that affect also players' life totals.

The best board clear in our inventory is Rolling Earthquake which also hits players, but we can upgrade our other board clears into mass burn spells trough the aid of Repercussion.

To take advantage of the massive health pool we can achieve, we can use Treasonous Ogre to convert it into mana or directly convert it into damage with Aetherflux Reservoir.

To build the deck, I took inspiration from Suns_Champion's Super Smash Boros | Firesong & Sunspeaker EDH and made a lot of substitutions, tending toward a more control / big burn style and focusing on an artifact theme to mitigate the classical Boros problems, which are card draw and ramp.

Hope you like the deck, and have fun if you decide to build it!
