Maybeboard


I know tons of people never thought Boros would ever get a good general based around combat. Well, the time has come!

We got our dream card advantage and mana production general in the form of a combat engine. I'm looking to make a deck that is as competitive as possible. I know it will never be as good as Fish Hulk, Doomsday or any Infinite Combo win, but there's something so cool about even being able to hang in a game with these decks and take out 1 to 2 people.

I've been blown away by her performance during the past couple of days playtesting, and I'm surprised there aren't more decks with her! She's super fun to play, not your typical playstyle, and make up for a LOT of white and red's previous pain points.

  • she has a massive impact on the boardstate the turn she comes down. As long as there are one or more non humans on board, we get a free human tapped and attacking on turn 4, sometimes even turns 2 or 3

  • she allows card advantage in W/R. With just one trigger we see 6 cards deep. With 2 or 3 triggers - which is easily achievable by turn 4 - we see 18 deep. After the first swing and several tokens from the humans we put out, we are easily going 30-48 cards deep each attack - and pulling out the best humans from our deck onto the battlefield already swinging.

  • her ability is mana ramp in a certain sense. That's why this is one of the only red white decks you'll ever see that can competitively play Angrath's Marauders. Instead of waiting for turn 6 or 7, we'll be dropping this on turn 4 or 5 and doubling our damage on board out of nowhere. Not to mention, the humans we put into play won't be getting countered.

To be honest, I love deckbuilding and reading primers, but I'm not in the mood to write a whole rundown. The deck I have built right now has been reworked after a several days playtesting on Cockatrice. I would say it's in the 7-9 tier range. I run a slightly different version with the Kiki-jiki combo enablers and fast mana rocks when I want to play in CEDH pods. This list is a more accurate representation of what I'll probably build in paper since it's more in my budget range. I also have a reworked list that focuses less on the hate bears for an even playing field and more on building a super wide board fast, however that list has had the least amount of testing. If this gets enough views I'll probably continue making edits and make a full primer.

If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I want to make this as speedy and deadly as possible.
