This is my Boros-themed deck, natch. I am trying to keep it on-theme with regards to flavor, but not to a ridiculous extend. Elspeth isn't affiliated with the Legion, but she makes Soldiers, so it fits. Likewise, Sol Ring does amazing things for the deck, and it's not an egregious stretch, so I put it in.
This deck plays well in 1 vs 1, on the rare occasion that I play that, but I am not following French rules or optimizing for duels.
Additionally, Clifftop Retreat will be going in just as soon as I get my hands on another copy.
Suggestions are welcome! If you have questions as to why a card is included, feel free to ask. Sometimes I put in cards that aren't that great (Glorious Anthem) because they fit the theme really well and aren't terrible (the art looks kind of like Aurelia).
If the number of cards is listed as 7, it means it is part of my Sunforger package. This is my first time building a Sunforger package, so any suggestions there are extra helpful.
If the number of cards is listed as 3, it means it can be an "alternate" Commander in a pinch.
I am kind of amazed at [...] the fact that somebody on this thread called Mind's Eye, Mirari's Wake, Decree of Pain, Desertion, AND Scroll Rack, all before they were officially spoiled. I will edit this post VERY shortly with the username of this user who deserves at least all of the cookies. Probably more cookies than that.
Besandra is one of the worst possible boros cards. Especially with Sunforger, you should be the one casting instants in combat, so it hurts you more than anyone else.
Speaking of sunforger packages, I find warleader's helix to be a mediocre card that doesn't really have enough impact when played. I've always liked being able to search up master warcraft. It can act as a fog at the minimum and can become as good as a plague wind if the board is right. Condemn also works as tutorable removal that tucks generals.
I'll also question legion loyalist and Ajani Vengeant. I have found both to be extremely low impact, and If tokens are a big deal in your meta, I would look for a different solution than the loyalist.
