MTG Combo: Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + Heartless Hidetsugu

UPDATE: I've but 20 cards to cut. 3 combos that are Wincons (4 any approve of Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + Heartless Hidetsugu ; which is hefty even w/ a possible adding of Sneak Attack ), One combo, Helm of Obedience + Rest in Peace that can be used to Mill the whole library of any number of opponents. Clock of Omens could help, but how to use it to keep untapping Helm of Obedience for infinity? & keep this Tier 3 Powered at least? Aurelia, the Warleader + Helm of the Host allows for infinite Combat Steps. & Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Felidar Guardian and/or Restoration Angel basically means Infinite Damage. But, yeah; Boros really wished it had a Hulk Combo of its own. "Boros Hulk" I'd dub it. All that said, what should I cut (or add?) for this deck, & if we're starting at Tier 3 Lever power, what would you recommend, or remove, & why?

I wonder of your opinions. Feather, the Redeemed shouldn't be the only being to reach Tier 3. Hell, Aminatou, the Fateshifter had a campaign of her own to Promote to Tier 2, & eventually, Tier 1; but failed, & was demoted back to Tier 3. What would you suggest?

Based on what I got thus far, I've a mass artifact base; ranging from Rocks to other things. Someone even said previously that Kataki, War's Wage would be very awful here due to my Artifice Base. Based on that person's intentions, The one who announced War on Kamigawa is rejected.

Already have Felidar Guardian , but I suppose I'll add Restoration Angel for infinite fliers. This is going to sound odd, but I believe based on your ideas, I should be cutting Eldrazi Displacer & the engine of stuff it can net. I just want your thoughts on them to continue pursuing even a Tier 3 Deck of this kind. As for Helm of Obedience + Rest in Peace , I'm trying to find a way to use this on all my opponents as well; also, like an Infinite combo you can stop when all opposition is Milled to death, & you still at least have your library. Also sounding weird, someone said Sneak Attack is garbage in this format! but it seems pretty good for stuff like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + Heartless Hidetsugu . What is mentioned that if played early enough, Hidestsugu one shots all opposition. But a combo w/ 2 high costed creatures might seem like too much, & this deck's own "Hulk Combo" just seems like something out of colors... But even Prison needs a Wincon. I already have 3. But I've no idea how Smokestack & Assemble the Legion work together in the slightest. That being said, Clock of Omens is in for the use of infinite activations to Mill everything your opponents have; although spot removal for stuff like Laboratory Maniac & Jace, Wielder of Mysteries would also be amazing. Though if we're dealing with Tier 3 in this case, what is the current best deck of this Tier, & how does it win? Right now, I'm focusing on that Tier, even doing Decktesting when it's truly done. Maybe I'll ask the Lab Maniacs about this; this is merely a Progress to make cEDH Boros better & better overtime. Although one last question is worth asking: What's good in cEDH Boros that is in Modern Horizons, & I'm talking about Mono-, & Mono-. Anything good here? Finally, Everyone keeps saying Sunforger is FAR too slow here, even for Tier 3. Don't make me make a Package please, expect one if my Vorthos Deck has in it though. I hope my previous knowledge can help on this, maybe you might have any ideas for cuts? Just let me know as I chat w/ The Maniacs themselves...

I mean, Feather, the Redeemed was the first to reach Tier 3 status for Boros, can there be a 2nd? Or even one for the entire Color Identity? SP3CTR3_chelts, I just want to delve in the impossible in this case... Your thoughts?

I run a similar list to yours with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight as the commander. It runs a couple of combos, including Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + Heartless Hidetsugu & Dictate of the Twin Gods + Heartless Hidetsugu + Palisade Giant . Heartless Hidetsugu would work well in your deck, too. Mostly, though, it's just good old-fashioned angel beatdown with equipment, particularly Deathrender to cheat the angels in using creatures you can sacrifice to destroy artifacts or enchantments. If you're interested, my list is:

@-Akhlys- Hey man great to hear you rep the girl too. I took some cards you suggested into consideration! Door of Destinies is a card I have considered I may do some testing with it soon :)

I love Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + Heartless Hidetsugu , but to keep with flavor I like to only have angles in the deck :D
