Commander / EDH* RW (Boros)

Enchantment (1)


A fantastic Boros commander at last.

With the descision to make a token wide jeskai spellslinger deck the zada style components of this can be jetisoned.

Feather loves instants and sunforger gets her all the instants she could want along with also being solid tech for all sorts of effects

Flickery fuckery lets me repeatedly use knighht of Orchid, sad robot, kor cartographers' effects, clone like twinflame too. This should be expanded on as a MAJOR subtheme ripe for exploiting (1-2mana bouncing is a good deal) Priest of urabrask makes mana from being bounced!

Cantrips become ouright card draw are an excellent rate.

SPLICE IS NICE: Ethereal haze with a targeting splice onto it means you have a repatable fog for 2-3 mana, splice is a repeatable multitool set of abilities with feather that can be sunforged up.

Zada only copies if she's the only one being targetted so most of the splices don't work. MOST. Three decent Zadable splices: Spiritual visit for dudes, Desperate ritual for big mana ritualing, crack the earth to force mass sac perms (your gobbos or whatever suicide bomb their lands!)

Multitarget will exile and return AS LONG as one of the targets in Feather

Wins will come from combos though probably nothing infinite. Feather can voltron with spells to evade defenders and smack face, or act as an engine for value with 'spells matter' cards like Monastery Mentor, various Heroic cards and young pyromancer making huge boards that can threaten face nicely especially with mirror effects like Zada to copy conbat tricks for whole boards.

Psychotic fury seems good but only dual col will get double-strike so with a mirror effect double-strike won't come through, temur rage and boros charm are other DS cards, poss ok with just those?

Using the several flicker/rez abilities of white and the hasty cheat onto field ability of red, one could repeatedly use Through the breach spliced on top of an arcane and bounce brutal ETB or on attack beaters e.g. eldrazi annihilators.

Aurelia's fury is a way to lock out people from doing things at a cost of at least 4 mana per turn to be repeatable, expensive but necessary sometimes. When you have infinite/lots of mana it can be a kill spell.

Categories:

#Removal DUH. Not a lot target a creature without wiping it out but SOME DO, Orim's thunder, 4 mana remove art and ping a creature.

#Wipe: Like removal but bigger

#Heroic: Loves being the target of spells, does things with it

#Mirror: Copy spells cast on this to all of your valid targets. Zada, mirrorwing dragon key ones (dragon is harder for opponents to remove

#Tutor Biggest tutor is for sunforger, the tutor of instants and therefore other tutors

#Cantrip Does a thing and draws. CURRENTLY UNDERPOPULATED #Draw is for things that don't quite fit cantrip status e.g. investigate from survive the night or outright draw cards

#Tokens: Create tokens, mostly in response to spells being cast, some are a little more complex but have larger returns Otherworldly outburst makes a 3/2 from the creature targetted if it dies.

CC Crowd control, tapping, can't attack this turn etc

#Silence: Stops opponents doing things e.g. casting spells during your turn or Aurelia's fury preventing any noncreatures that turn

#CT Combat tricks often called pump

#Life: Lifegain, duh again, repeatable is best

#Burn: Damage, duh, repeatable with Feather are those using her power e.g. soul's fire. With Arcbond to ensure I survive the creature needs to be given lifegain.

#Protection: Protection, literally protetcion from color, artifacts, creatures etc, hexproofing, Ressurect when dies, indestructing, exile/phase out. Graceful Reprieve is vulnerable to insta speed grave exile, forcing back into command zone. Currently also includes cards that protect you, not just creatures, may split

#Ramp: Gain mana, lands, or possibly store mana Spawning Breath works at a 1R=Any rate, no treasure gens work. Chaos warping a token 40% chance of land, Path to exile 100% chance land. Also including curve fixers like tithe. Smothering tithe duh. Desperate ritual ramps when splicing onto an arcane effectively refunding 1 mana of a spell cast, if I have an arcane I can cast repeatedly then that works out nicely. Seriously though, path to exile and a token on cast generator is amazing.

Blessed breath is W, splice desperate ritual for 1R and get RRR as result, net of 0 mana

NOTE: ARCANE/SPLICE, various arcane spells target creatures and allow splice spells to be cast repeatedly on top of them, refunding mana or creating tokens.

Otherworldly journey and Through the breach are perfect cases for repeatable bug dude/etb cheating power of this deck

#Tech is for useful abilities like electrodominance Note that electrodominance can cast any other 3cmc spell at instant speed without killing Feather.

Moonhold is a curious card, doesnt target a creature sadly

Valakut or Emeria tempting for value but almost certainly not enough basic ramp

Escalate is a keyword to look for, as are other multi-mode cards

Arcane Splicing onto repeatable spells is gonna be nice.

Changelings, like the battlement, can act as a protective storage for flickery targets
