This is a Boros combo deck, possibly the first of its kind. With efforts from myself (tenrose), and reversemermaid of the cEDH community on Reddit and Discord.

AAAAAALLLLL ABOOOAAARRDDDD!

Your first goal should be infinite coloured mana. This is reached easily with Auriok Salvagers and Lion's Eye Diamond. There are several tutors in Depala's colours, such as Enlightened Tutor for LED, and Imperial Recruiter for the Salvagers. You can also chain Recruiter of the Guard into Imperial and Salvagers at a stretch.

Once you have infinite mana, you basically win. Now I know in Boros colours this is unusual, so allow me to explain.

1. You cast your commander, Depala, Pilot Exemplar. You can tap her with a Crew trigger from a vehicle, or just wait to attack. Once she's tapped, you dump a minimum of one hundred mana into her X cost to ensure you're searching your whole library.

2. From this search, you will pull Master Trinketeer and Mirror Entity (remember, you can get Changelings with Depala too!). Cast of these with your infinite mana once you have these in hand.

3. Dump trillions of white mana into the Trinketeer for trillions of 1/1 Servo creature tokens.

4. Dump trillions of mana into the Entity's X cost, making each of your Servo tokens a 1tril/1tril creature.

5. Remember that hand you had before you discarded it with Lion's Eye Diamond? You better pray to your shit tier waifu goddess that Anger was in your hand, because now your 1tril/1tril Servo creature tokens have HASTE. There are also plenty of other haste enablers available in this list. Final Fortune and Last Chance are good ways to get that sneaky unexpected extra turn in.

6. Swing for the kill on all opponents.

The deck's main weakness is having consistency. With a severe lack of blue cards, you're lacking a lot of card draw. I would say cards like Burning Inquiry and Wheel of Fortune are great for getting Anger into your graveyard, and for ruining your opponents carefully crafted hands. I would use Inquiry as a janky red version of Brainstorm, since we sadly don't have access to it.

Another weakness is effects like Fog and Deflecting Palm. We run our own Deflecting Palm just in case! We've also got a serious lack of protection packaging outside of Pyroblast and Red Elemental Blast, so you will need to provide some deterrents beforehand. Perhaps a mass land destruction package could help with this? Don't forget the other red/white counterspells: Burnout and Mana Tithe. While generally poor, they're the best we've got.

I've recently gone through and solved the curve a little. It was above 2cmc on average, so I removed a few janky spells like Lapse of Certainty to help bring the curve down. Supposed "additional win-cons" like Kyren Negotiations have been cleared up, as they're not fetchable by any means in the deck. If we had a Dwarf creature with "Tap a creature: deal 1 damage." we would be laughing!

The deck is still a huge work in progress. I don't know why I enjoy throwing large amounts of time into janky pieces of shit like this deck, but I find it enjoyable. I've got a few more card slots left to fill, so let me know if you have any ideas.

Check out my other decks for more janky fun. 5c Grozoth is in need of a serious update and rethink.
