I like Magnetic Theft so much, haha.

Cloudshift seems like a way for cheap protection; Long Road Home against wraths. I feel like this needs a critical mass of protection, given that killing Feather is essentially killing your main engine.

Mirrorwing Dragon is Zada's best friend.

Love the deck! Cheers

So I have a whole list, but it's split into card roles for ease of stealing ideas! Have a look at my list!

I agree with SenatorDickWeed in that I think Sunforger would be great for this deck. Once you get it, you can basically tutor for whatever instant or sorcery you need to answer any situation. I'm not sure why you would be against a "value Sunforger package..." that just doesn't make sense to me. But if you don't want to run it, I get it, I guess...

I see it as a very good tutor in this deck. Since you cast the spell with Sunforger , you'll get it back to your hand with Feather out. I don't think I'd necessarily feel the need to throw in a bunch of tutors to go fetching the Sunforger in every game, but having it in there for the fun times you'll have when it does pop up can't be a bad thing. And let's face it, Boros needs every advantage it can conjure up.

Feather and Zada, Hedron Grinder on the field at the same time is pretty sweet. I also wanted to say I wasn't really aware of the card Goblinslide , but I love the synergy it has in here. I also like its synergy with Mentor of the Meek , with enough mana available, of course.

I saw this spoiled by The Command Zone, and I agree that it looks like fun to build around, and is definitely a great Commander for the guild that needed some card advantage. Nice work here!

A cool thing about Mirrorwing Dragon is when an opponent casts a removal spell on it, it copies that for all of their creatures. Anax and Cymede and Twinflame are HUGE overperformers, but only if you run a few more creatures. Captain's Maneuver is underrated, and the Lapse of Certainty + Mistveil Plains + Sunforger combo is nothing to sneeze at. All in all, great list. We’ve had some good luck with boros in Commander lately with Firesong and Sunspeaker , and I hope that we get more interesting commanders for the best worst guild in the sets to come.

I think the over the top aspect of Sunforger in this kind of deck is that you can repeatably activate sun forger during your opponents' turns using Magnetic Theft which returns to your turn during each end step.

Hey! Just wanted to say, thanks a bunch for the upvote, it means a lot, and Intimidation Bolt was a GREAT pull I love it!

Great list! I liked your Super Smash Boros | Firesong & Sunspeaker EDH and since I had made Firesong and Sunspeaker deck of my own I feel like we have similar ideas in head. Look at my list, even though it's not budget (since I own these cards and my playgroup is not budget)

I do not think that Magnetic Theft is worth being one of the 99, seeing that you only have four equipment and one of them is Lightning Greaves that cost 0 mana and another being swift foot boots costing one mana (the same about of mana used to cast Magnetic Theft in the first place). The other two equipment only cost 2 as well. Fantastic deck though. +1

Great list and +1! Whats the name of the card you have for the deck's profile?

The magnetic theft is so your sunforger activations only cost 3 mana and can be done at instant speed.

my feather, the Redeemed with Stuff(y) i am loving this commander. this is what i am working on right now. a little more on direct damage and Stuffy Doll lots of options and need some cards.. but suggestions are always welcome!

Cards I am considering that I don't see on your list are:

What are your thoughts on these?

Everybody here seems to REALLY want you to run Sunforger ... I mean, it is good, but you know, the beauty of Commander is you don't need to build the best deck ever. It's not like modern where you MUST run bolt to play burn. It's your deck, your cards. Keep the deck growing my guy.

"but I guess I want every 1 mana instant cantrip I can get" I feel like you want to prioritize the protection cards over the rest but I don't think "as many as I can get" is the right answer. Since these are cards that you can play every turn for draws as well as getting the original card back, you will very quickly end up with too many cards in hand. I think that a normal amount of instant/sorcery cards in the deck will be fine. These aren't disposable spells like in a Kess deck where you fill the whole deck up. These are spells that you'll keep getting back. What we really want to load up more on are cards that generate other kinds of value for us off of the spells. The heroic, prowess, copying, token making, disruption, ramping.

Thank you all for the comments and upvotes! Bird Leaf is now the #1 most upvoted Feather list on Tapped/Out, and for that I am grateful.

I have switched some things around, the main changes being:

  • I caved to the demands for Sunforger.
  • I am now focusing on tokens to enable more fun interactions.
  • I started a rough description. It will explain what's going on.

Now! To direct responses! I might not get to everyone, if I do not, thank you for commenting anyway!

IAmTheWraith thank you! I have taken your suggestion in!

whalen147 Thank you for your comment! Since I've decided to go more tokens I've added a few of your suggestions, and ended up cutting most of what you suggested, besides Magnetic Theft because I broke down and added Sunforger. Thanks!

landofMordor thanks! I added a small blink theme and Long Road might find it's way in! Appreciate you looking at my decks!

bushido_man96 hello friend! How long have we been brewing Boros together? Since Brion Stoutarm? Hahah! I Have added Sunforger, your argument being a key factor. Thanks for the compliments and upvote!

Chandra585 yes, my unhealthy love of Boros is really paying off recently. Thanks for the suggestions!

bmbowdish hello braden :) As you will no doubt see on discord, I caved and added sunforger haha!

ZendikariWol you are welcome! Intimadation Bolt is a personal favorite!

Flawless_Sin nice list, love the wishboard!

v1talsign thanks for the input! With the addition of Sunforger and knowlege of my meta, I believe Magnetic Theft is a solid card here.

Odimeer I like the idea! Have you considered the other redirect damage creatures like Spitemare and Boros Reckoner ?

Maqi I like Reckless Rage and might find a slot for it, but when it comes down to it a path or Swords is just better.

SpookyToe while I ended up adding Sunforger, I appreciate your words and your view of commander. Thanks a ton!

Dhampir05 I agree to a point. I think Feather makes Boros very Strong, but to do so you have to carve out 10 slots for cantrips to ensure you have the draw. I'm okay with that, because it really enables whatever strategy you want to play. I personally prefer to focus on my commander, so most of my cards are going to be Instants. I will say that there is no such thing as "too many cards in hand" haha

cmsrDPM Added A&C! Not so hot on Spark. Thanks!

That's all! Oh wait-that's a lot haha! Thanks for the upvotes and comments! Keep the discussion going!

Since you are going with a token route, Path to Exile is going to be a really good ramp effect for you.

Can't upvote again but I like the way the list has turned out, it's tight

Coward_Token If you like it that much you could feature the deck.

MiMonkey says... #21

If you are going for tokens would be Assemble the Legion a good card?

bushido_man96 says... #22

I think you've got something very tight going here, Suns_Champion. The curve of the deck means it'll start fast and keep going, and I like your token theme. I think this would be a blast to play! Well done on another Boros build. Speaking of...I'm working on something with Tiana, Ship's Caretaker ...

April 17, 2019 6:30 p.m.

@v1talsign - you can use Magnetic Theft to "steal" opponents equipments at instant speed as well. They still control them, but if there's anything spicy on the board, you can snag it for the turn and make them have to pay to reequip it to one of their creatures (on their turn). Get the bonuses for yourself. Sunforger is just what the deck will likely want to do the majority of the time. Feather, the Redeemed giving you the ability to repeat the effect makes the Magnetic Theft go from an odd, one-off equip cost cheapener/combat trick to an all-star.

CrimsonWings3689, and isn't that the beauty of Magic? Cards you usually wouldn't consider to play much, until along comes something new that brings new combinations of play together.
