Double Damage isn't enough for me

Commander / EDH Burn RW (Boros)

IraFenix


I've been playing mostly reactionary EDH decks for a while now (Esper Lifegain/Control and Dimir Mill) so this is my first take on a deck that's potentially proactive.

This deck has tons of fetchers and mana-ramp to attempt to get Gisela on the field before the counter-spells start to run rampant.

By stacking damage amplifiers, even the slightest burn for one can quickly turn into 4. Burn 4 for one red (Pyrohemia)? That's a trade that I will most certainly take.

Infinite-Combos:

Infinite Colorless Mana: Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth

Notable Combos:

Opponents Must Take 2 to Tap: Gisela + Manabarb

Win-Cons:

  • You are able to burn your opponent to the ground through your cards.
  • You are able to overrun an opponent early by swinging, and then damage amp'ing your army.
  • (You have odd life) Heartless Hidetsugu --> Overblaze/Gratuitous Violence
  • Single Player Kill: Volcano Hellion --> Stuffy Doll
  • Single Player Kill: (Infinite Colorless) + Fireball
  • Reverse a Game-winning Dunk: Reflect Damage + Damage Amplification

Suggestions

Updates Add

x1 Ash Zealot --> x1 Manabarbs

While this will lower my creature count, and raise my average CMC, the synergy with Gisela is far too great for me to not invest in this combo.

I'm working on adding stronger white/red synergies to give this deck multiple win-cons
