I am a big fan of both heroic and boros, so I was super excited when Feather was spoiled. But everyone already knows all about that. This deck is NOT trying to be cEDH level or really anywhere near there. This deck is much closer to the Heroic decks I loved playing in standard, a bit slower and grindier, with a big emphasis on protecting your creatures.

This deck has taken a lot of inspiration from the amazing Feather Redeems Boros in EDH [Primer]! There are many cards that I wouldn't have found without that list. Please check it out if you want to see a higher power Feather list or if you want more card ideas!

The most important cards in the deck are the Card Draw cards and the Protection cards. You can cast the card draw spells each turn to produce untold amounts of card advantage. Protection spells give your creatures indestructible, protection, or blink them, and help you stay out of the reach of any removal.

The permanents in the Value section give you extra bonuses when you cast your instants on your creatures. Providing tokens, big creatures, and extra damage goes a long way.

With the right hand, this deck can end games fairly quickly, but usually you're planning for games to go a little longer. With all the card draw in the deck, you should hit most of your land drops, to let you cast more and more spells each turn. The Value creatures and repeatable removal spells are great in a grindy situation.

With enough lands on the table, you can start to cast very big, splashy spells. You can also cheat on mana with Runaway Steam-Kin, or a token producer and Phyrexian Altar or Path to Exile. Sunforger can tutor Path and Strength of Arms to let you ramp every turn if you want to.

How can the deck win?

Remember to take your turn on other peoples' turns! This deck's strength lies in the instants. And don't get greedy, always leave some mana up to protect your creatures unless you're confident nobody has any interaction.

Why is storm not in the deck? Storm cards are a great wincon for a deck like Feather! However, between wanting to keep the power level a little lower and already having another storm edh deck, I opted to leave the storm cards out of this deck. (Except for Aria of Flame, but that works a little differently.)

Why is Sol Ring not in this deck? Well I could talk about how this deck has a huge amount of colored mana symbols due to the insane amount of one mana cards, or how your commander costs RWW. The truth is I have one too few Sol Rings for all my commander decks and thought this was the deck that would miss it the least. I know Feather fans who swear by it so if you want to include it, go right ahead.
