Brion is a big dumb giant. Big dumb giants like to throw stuff around and make a mess. They know no ownership right, therefore they throw your stuff, my stuff, everybodys stuff like is nobody's business.Thats just something big dumb giants do, but how can we help him in his crusade against private property?

Unfortunately, we are RW. This means that our ramp is limited to questionably efficient artifacts such as Mind Stone, Boros Signet, Boros Keyrune, command sphere and so on. Given that Brion likes to throw stuff around (I assume you are not dumb giants and have correctly understood this FACT at this point, but repetita iuvant), we should also provide him with some throwable ramp, in the shape of Solemn Simulacrum.
- by recurring over and over our spark elementals on steroids-like creatures ( aka Spark Trooper, Ball Lightning, Blistering Firecat) or our one-shot tough guys, like Malignus and Serra Avatar. Cards that help with this task include Adarkar Valkyrie, Reya Dawnbringer, Emeria, The Sky Ruin, Lifeline and Gift of Immortality. Keep in mind that Brion knows no religion, therefore all these smug angels can become cannon fodder too if needed.
  • by actively borrowing poor, unsuspecting creatures from other players thanks to cards like Mass Mutiny, Molten Primordial, Harness by Force, Grab the Reins and a bunch of others (redundancy is king here, but this part will need more fine-tuning). Of course, we are not big dumb giants like Brion and we will give them back to their owners. In their face, preferably.

  • By creating ad-hoc, perfect fit token bullets whose sole purpose is to please my kink for throwing stuff of our beloved big dumb Brion. These can come in the form of flaming clones(Flameshadow Conjuring, lightning avatars (Rite of the Raging Storm) or slimy slippery gloomy shades (Mimic Vat). Of course, Brion goes big or goes home. That's why we love the life-sucking mechanical minions generated by Phyrexian Processor, which can technically be used by paying small amount of lifepoints... BUT it is much more rewarding to pay all your life points minus a handful and pray nothing gets removed halfway in the throw! In the future, smashing an overloaded Aetherflux Reservoir with no way of getting lifepoints back instantly will also probably do the trick.

Let the throwing competition begin! Who is going to throw bigger stuff harder and further? Will it be Brion, with its double lifelink (Spirit Loop ) plus card draw engine (Well of Lost Dreams)? Or will it be the Cyclop of Infinite throwings (Thornbite Staff yeah, I know it is completely out of flavor but OH WELL)?
Which can be achieved softly, by letting anyone know that the cat that sits on the rock, Felidar Sovereign, has said so.
...OF COURSE, we are not going to win THAT way, are we?! Lets splash that kittycat on Oloro, Ageless Ascetic s face! The way we are going to assert our dominion is by pounding the drums of a Warstorm Surge, by one-hit K.O. people with Serra Avatar or simply by grinding down players over time!
Thats pretty self-explanatory, please help me improve this deck by taking a look at the maybeboard, by giving your opinion on the whole endevour and by suggesting any other card that may fit the bill! I hope you liked this introduction to my Brion deck, and thank you :)
