My take on a Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp Casual Multiplayer EDH.

Arcbound Ravager, as depicted in his 2019 Pro Tour Promo Crad, drawn by Chase Stone.

I love the classic Mirrodin, this MTG block was the current one when I started to play MTG in 2003. I'm a huge fantasy fan in general, but I've always loved Sci-Fi more, so Mirrodin, a Sci-Fi themed expansion about an artificial world full of robots and strange futuristic artifacts, is what really conviced me to come and try MTG!
Sadly there aren't many classic Mirrodin interesting commanders to choose. Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp has appeared as the lord of the mysterius Mirran Arcbound creatures. It's awesome design, that seems taken out from a Forerunner construct from the Halo videogames, has charmed me. The same has happened with all those new arcbounds from Modern Horizons 2. So let's start the deck!

First of all: YES, Modular is currently a "Weak" mechanic. There aren't enough modular creatures, and the vast majority of them are sadly totally designed for limited play. Only some of them like Scrapyard Recombiner or Arcbound Ravager are really playable. Zabaz is also Boros color identity, traditionally one the worst Bicolor combinations for Commander, (Even with the welcomed help WotC is giving to Boros in the new Strixhaven Lorehold cards) due to it's lack of efficient ramp and card advantage, and it's focus on pure combat, a difficult strategy for a multiplayer format like EDH. So it's right to admit that nowadays Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp is not going to be a high Tier deck. This isn't something bad, we all have powerful EDH decks and others more cute. I think it's fun to have always a huge spectrum of different power level decks to really enjoy EDH in all of it's aspects!!

This is my first Boros deck and well, is being complicated try to adapt the unsupported Modular mechanic to EDH, so feel totally free to give ideas and help! I'll welcome them! :)
