So I liked the idea of abusing access to an indestructible commander. At first I had Konda, Lord of Eiganjo and Toski, Bearer of Secrets in mind, but I wasn't fond of a mono colored commander deck since I wanted a larger card pool, nor was I fond of the mana value of Konda, Lord of Eiganjo although Toski, Bearer of Secrets had an acceptable mana value. Sapling of Colfenor also crossed my path, but I was now firmly settled that the commander had to have a mana value of or less. I then stumbled upon Tajic, Blade of the Legion which both had a decent mana value and, being boros, a larger card pool - the only problem naturally being lack of draw and ramp. But heck! I figured the deck would be janky anyways since I've had a habit of brewing budgety decks for a while now.

So I hereby present this janky damage redirecting deck concept with a list of card interactions:

• Have Odric, Lunarch Marshal on the battlefield with Tajic, Blade of the Legion and go to combat. All your creatures are now indestructible until end of turn, some of which are hopefully able to redirect damage (i.e. Mogg Maniac , Boros Reckoner etc.). Swing with the entire team and cast Blasphemous Act . Pew pew some extra packages of 13 damage into your opponent's face.
• Boros Charm is also decent to string into Blasphemous Act coupled with some damage redirecting creatures.
• There are some great mana rocks with sacrifice abilites in the deck that might prove useful late game with their buddy Sun Titan . This way Commander's Sphere adds extra draw and mana each turn, where rocks like Heart of Ramos adds 2x mana each turn, and lastly Orazca Relic adds draw and life gain each turn. All that being, of course, if Sun Titan survives the attacks. Which brings us to:
• The en-kor clan, with the best being Shaman en-Kor . With Tajic, Blade of the Legion on the board the entire clan is practically immune to damage since they can just redirect all damage to Tajic, Blade of the Legion . The before mentioned Shaman en-Kor helps with redirecting damage from other creatures lacking the en-kor ability onto itself, and then onto Tajic, Blade of the Legion .
• If Tajic, Blade of the Legion leaves the battlefield by being exiled, gaining X * -1/-1 or otherwise loses indestuctible by being enchanted by cards like Frogify the deck runs back-ups in the form of cards like Cho-Manno, Revolutionary .
• Blazing Sunsteel is disgusting..! :D Having it equipped on Tajic, Blade of the Legion or a creature that prevents damage turns en-kor creatures into bullets when they're damaged. Which brings us to:
• The ultimate bullets: Stuffy Doll and Brash Taunter ... Aaaah yes ... Need I say more?
• Well yeah! Pariah - having it attached to Tajic, Blade of the Legion means that you don't care about damage any more. And having it attached to Brash Taunter introduces politics, while having it attached to Stuffy Doll means that a certain opponent probably refuses to damage you. Lastly Open the Armory helps with grabbing it. Delish!
• Although Guilty Conscience is listed as a control card it has the added bonus of going infinite with Brash Taunter ! Kudos to corndiggitydog for suggesting this card :)
• Redirecting damage among opponents with Captain's Maneuver and Boros Fury-Shield brings a "WTH?"-moment to the table.
• That same "WTH?"-moment is ensured by counterspells (i.e. Rebuff the Wicked , Lapse of Certainty and Dawn Charm ) ... in boros.
• Keeping the idea of janky counterspells alive, the option of redirecting a counterspell to your own spell is present in the form of Wild Ricochet .
• Shielded by Faith turns one of your creatures into a damage preventer (preferably a creature like Mogg Maniac to get an "extra" Brash Taunter ). Slamming Shifting Shadow onto that creature starts a beautiful cycle of cheating creatures onto the battlefield. Kudos to king-saproling for suggesting these cards, as well as some extra crispy tutors: Heliod's Pilgrim and Axgard Armory :)

As to upgrades I recommend some damage doublers. Imagine the 13 damage from Blasphemous Act being 26 damage instead ... Ouch! A better mana base wouldn't hurt either, nor would access to better card draw.
