OLD DECK This was my favorite deck for a long time. Red-White is naturally handicapped in EDH because of the context of what everyone else is doing. Red-White mana ramps the least and has terrible card draw options. So I built the deck to mainly be political, using diversion and politics to really direct other players into killing each other. Then with explosive haste threats or powering up my creatures I could come back and finish the game. It was great fun to play, the commander being a key card amongst others that forces players to attack (usually someone other than myself).

The deck does not run Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile. In a deck with inherent lack of card advantage, 1 for 1 removal is not an option. The deck deals with creatures indirectly, either with taxing effects that encourage opponents to attack other opponents instead of me, with board clears, or with repeatable removal effects, like Intrepid Hero, or Boros Battleshaper. Alternatively I would take control of a problematic permanent with Word of Seizing or Zealous Conscripts.

The only real "combos" in the deck are Basandra, Battle Seraph + Darien, King of Kjeldor + Soul's Attendant and Boros Reckoner + Chain Reaction . Moltensteel Dragon + True Conviction is a cute combo.
