Your typical Tajic deck which focuses on equipment and mass land destruction/wraths. It originally was focused on voltron, but has more of a midrange feel now. There's equipment support to make Tajic and company bigger, unblockable, and just more of a threat. Double strike creatures can also get nasty when equipped especially Mirran Crusader since he has protection from Black and Green. While Tajic is the commander of the deck, it can easily go on without him so don't think he has to be the only one equipped. He'll most likely be playing with his
Creepy Doll
or Stuffy Doll somewhere anyways (I think his indestructibility has went to his head). Laslty, no Tajic deck is complete without Worldslayer ('Murica).
Specifics:
Indestructible Creatures/Enablers:
The main reason to include indestructible creatures is because we'll be going slap happy with destruction. They also allow us to trigger battalion after a wrath.
Tajic, Blade of the Legion: Our commander, duh!
Darksteel Juggernaut
: Will turn into a big beater since we run a lot of artifacts. Also will smash face after a wrath.
Creepy Doll
: If equipped your opponents will most likely block it forcing a possible deathtouch. Might also deter opponents from attacking you, it is pretty damn creepy afterall. The chance sucks, but hey, you get to flip a coin! Pretty cool huh?
Stuffed doll: Amusing, and even moreso with Pariah. Stops an opponent with a big beater from sending it our way. Even if he's a 0/1 he can still attack an opponent and trigger battalion.
Angelic Overseer
: Tajic is a human, and is indestructible so most likely both will remain so. There's 14 or so other humans in here so she can get her indestructible/hexproof on pretty reliably.
Iroas, God of Victory: Gives attacking critters pseudo-indestructibility.
Frontline Medic
: His battalion trigger give ALL our creatures indestructibility until end of turn. Perfect for dropping a wrath afterwards.
Boros Charm: Use before a wrath.
Double Strike Creatures/Enablers:
Double strike can easily get out of hand with equipments/anthems. Especially with some of the evasion cards I've included. Keep in mind though, that giving a double strike creature, double strike is redundant and does not equate to quadruple strike.
Silverblade Paladin: Pair up with Tajic for a good time.
Mirran Crusader: I love, LOVE this card. The art is sexy and he knows it.
Fireshrieker: Good stuff
Boros Charm: Yeah he's versatile
Equipment:
I'll only list the all-stars of this deck. There's also evasion equipment like Whispersilk Cloak but not quite the all-stars here. Budget constraints means none of the crazy amazing swords unfortunately, which sucks big time. But hey, if the wife doesn't yell at me for wasting money on cards I'll take that as a win anyday! Lightning Greaves was also left out. Although amazing in any other deck, we want to be able to equip our general and shroud prevents that. Sunforger also left out. Why you ask? Because there's a lack of good instants aside from Boros Charm. If it worked on sorceries it would be gravy.
Quietus Spike: Self explanatory. Particularly nasty with Brass Squire on a useless unblocked 1/1 token.
Loxodon Warhammer: use on a double striker and watch what happens.
Inquisitor's Flail: Pseudo-double strike. Very good on indestructible creatures. Place this on Stuffy Doll or Boros Reckoner to make an opponent a sad panda.
Worldslayer: 'Murica
Equipment Support
Support for equipment includes cards that fetch, find, equip, yadda, yadda, yadda with equipments.
Auriok Steelshaper: Reduces equip cost by and gives pump to soldiers and knights. Pretty sexy.
Brass Squire: Equips stuff for free, and at instant speed.
Godo, Bandit Warlord: Fetches an equipment for us.
Steelshaper Apprentice
: A reusable equipment fetcher.
Stoneforge Mystic: She's a lil sweetie pie
Stonehewer Giant: Fetches AND equips an equipment...pretty powerful.
Steelshaper's Gift: Fetches an equipment for .
Puresteel Paladin: A chance to draw cards and make equip on all our equipment? Yes please! We run lots of artifacts so it's not hard to trigger his ability.
Leonin Shikari: Unblocked creatures can instantly equip something nasty leaving your opponents with little options.
Token Generators
The token theme is just to supply Tajic with battalion triggers mostly. They also double as chump blockers and bantha fodder.
Assemble the Legion: Amazing token generator.
Martial Coup: Token gen AND a wrath. Very sexy. It also leaves Tajic up with 5 critters next turn to attack and trigger battalion.
Card Draw
It's Boros afterall, and let's not kid ourselves. There is an apparent lack of card draw or ramp or...whatever. So we can help alleviate that by using artifacts and other select cards. If anything I could add a Wheel of Fortune in.
Mentor of the Meek: R/W weenies is the name of the game. Most our creatures are 1/1's or 2/2's and he counts tokens. This guy is insane.
Infiltration Lens: Pretty simple to get online.
Mass Land Destruction/Wraths
I'm just going to list these since they're self explanatory.
Armageddon
Catastrophe
Day of Judgment
Martial Coup
Ruination: This is why I only run mostly basics, and for budget reasons
Vandalblast
Wrath of God
Blasphemous Act
Rout
Planar Collapse
Scourglass
Total War
Heat Stroke
Worldslayer: 'Murica
Misc.:
This section will include other miscellaneous goodies.
Angel of Jubilation: Pump, and can hose several strategies
Aurelia, the Warleader
: Because double strike with one attack phase is never good enough...
Indomitable Archangel: protects our artifacts and equipments. Metalcraft is easy to activate here. Also included Great Furnace and
Ancient Den
for good measure
