Boros is a color combination driven straight and fast towards the Aggro strategy, and sometimes that means driving itself over a cliff. Anax and Cymede would have you fall off that cliff, and enchantments are here to save the day. Some of these enchantments will help you complete your goal of eliminating your opponents quickly--such as Ethereal Armor, Spirit Mantle, and Madcap Skills--oh, Madcap away my friends!--while others stick around after the second, third, or more wraths.

But Anax and Cymede has more tricks. When Voltron executions aren't possible, you can go wide with tokens. Monastery Mentor, Goblinslide, Archon of Sun's Grace, and Sigil of the Empty Throne all work very well with this enchantment theme. This ability of Anax and Cymede to very quickly drop one strategy in order to pick up another, sometimes dancing gracefully between one and the other, can be difficult for other casual EDH decks to handle. Boros is often considered one of the weakest color combinations in the format, but this combination has allowed me to take down four opponents in one game.

There are some enchantments missing from this build I intend to include in time. Flickering Ward and Mark of Fury are repeatable enchantments I haven't obtained for this build, and from seeing them included in other Anax and Cymede decks I know them to be very good. This is just one example though.
