Hiya! Your deck has a lot of good removal, threats, and ramp. It's low on card advantage, you'll want more cards for that.

On top of that, your 4 cmc slot is really crowded. I would recommend trimming down there.

jakeyuki12 - thanks for the comment! Thank you also for the compliments! As far as card advantage, I guess Skullclamp and Mentor of the Meek are considerations, but this isn’t necessarily token based. does have tutors, but they are situational. Some additions I was thinking of were Cartographer's Hawk, Stoneforge Mystic, Kor Cartographer, Enlightened Tutor, and Stonehewer Giant.

Did you have specific suggestions?

For the 4 cmc slot, were you saying I should go higher or lower? Most of the decks I play hover around the 3.0-4.0 range, so I naturally gravitate towards 4 cmc cards.

Thanks again for your comment!

In my previous comment I said you should trim on the 4 cmc slot. Trim means cut, so I recommend playing less 4 cmc cards. 4 cmc is around the point where cards start to feel a bit clunky.

As far as card advantage goes, if you want to rely on equipment synergies you can play cards like Mask of Memory and Sword of Fire and Ice. If you like wheel effects there are cards like Magus of the Wheel or Reforge the Soul. If you like impulsive draw play Light Up the Stage or Ignite the Future or one of the myriad Chandra's like Chandra, Torch of Defiance. If you wanna do artifact synergies you can use Endless Atlas or Tome of Legends.

Lots of options for card advantage. Take your pick for what you like, what matches your playstyle, and what synergizes with your deck best.

Hiya! I really like the deck. You've got a good assortment of threats, synergy, removal, and a ton of ramp. Just a few suggestions.

I counted 15 pieces of ramp and 5 pieces of card draw. 15 is a lot and 5 is not a ton, so I recommend cutting some ramp for some more card draw. I particularly recommend cutting the more inefficient pieces of ramp (the 3-mana rocks that only tap for 1 mana for example) for more efficient options.

Along the same lines, as budget allows I recommend cutting cards in this deck that have better, more efficient versions. An easy example is Reforge the Soul. I've gotten the miracle on it less times than I can count on one hand, and I've played a lot of Boros for years, so often you're casting it for 5 whole mana. The new Wheel of Misfortune though is not expensive and really rewards you for playing it well.
