Boros Cube Options
Limited forum
Posted on June 28, 2017, 10:46 p.m. by JaceTheSwagSculptor
My cube contains the sets M11 - M14 and Zendikar - Return to Ravnica. I need a Boros colored card for my cube, however all the options seem really mediocre. Which card(s) included in the aforementioned sets have you had the best experience with while cubing?
Thanks!

Probably Assemble the Legion, Aurelia, the Warleader, Boros Reckoner, or Aurelia's Fury.

Yup, those are the options I thought of too, but they all have pretty big downsides. Which one would you choose out of all of those?

See I was going to suggest Moonhold but....
What about Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer?
You don't have a lot of options, but I'd prefer Firemane Avenger to just about everything save Gisela.

@Karns_Pyromancer: Despite Scars block being in the cube, I actually don't have enough artifacts for Jor Kadeen to be relevant.
So your saying you'd want either Gisela, Blade of Goldnight or Firemane Angel?

I'd LOVE to have Firemane Angel, but Avenger is good too. (OK, Lightning Helix on a 3/3 flying stick is better)
Gisela has always struck me as goodstuff in limited. Avenger fulfills very real needs for the color pair, namely evasion & good removal.

Gisela's cmc is a little steep. However I never really thought of Firemane Avenger like that. I just always focused on how difficult it was to trigger the ability, but I suppose in non-powered cubes not everything needs to be broken. I'll give the Avenger a shot.

I should also specify that the card NEEDS to be a rare/mythic rare.
