I have been looking to make a good Boros deck for awhile now. Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and Aurelia, the Warleader are a little bit overdone imo, and all of the other R/W commanders fit into the aggro shell. Avacyn leads to a different strategy which I liked, a board-control through damage but can get in the red zone and finish people off. That screams Stuffy Doll to me.
I am running three major themes for the deck, (1) Stuffy Doll package, (2) Keeping me alive at low life, and (3) Non-Blue Counters via Sunforger!!
I am a little worried that I have too much going on, and not enough draw. Any suggestions would be helpful!! Its not meant to be overly competitive, but fun and unique. I would like to try and keep the three themes but one might have to go :/
Creature count may be too low for it, but at the very least Scout's Warning cantrips for you. Other times it lets you flash in something like Mogg Maniac.
Moonhold and Bolt won't even work with Scepter, sadly :/, so not having slots isn't a big loss. Sadly there's not a lot of RW instants that sunforger can use to draw your cards. Fateful Showdown has some limited potential as a target. If you're emptying your hand to often maybeDangerous Wager.
I will be going to the shop soon so I will actually get to test this deck, but from my first impressions i dont think it'll play well with wheels. Magmatic Insight and Wild Guess may be more useful in more situations. We will see
Well Amonkhet has been kind to the boros Avacyn (at least my version of the deck).
Glorious End is nuts, fetchable with Sunforger and we have a lot of ways to ignore the lose condition. While it is generally better in 1v1 as it acts more of a Time walk, it is still useful for ending a combo or helping set up a little more reliably. Gideon of the Trials is interesting, decent value to drop, even with only one gideon. Fits the theme nicely. Approach of the Second Sun seems neat, but unreliable and not sure if i have a slot to use it. Gideon's Intervention could be useful Dusk is alright. Soul-Scar Mage helps all of our burn get around indestructible creatures Insult might find a spot Sweltering Suns is a boardclear option too

thats actually pretty good, I like Scout's warning in this deck. A lot.
I would love to include Abeyance/Orim's Chant/Moonhold/Intimidation Bolt with Scepter, but I feel like I just don't have the slots available at the moment.
**on a side note, I love when the card tags show an art that you haven't seen before. Hadn't seen that Orim's chant before, looks awesome!!**

Planeswalkers weren't performing up to spec, and I like the Gift of Immortality with a lot of the cards in this deck, rarely a bad target.

Gideon's Intervention could be useful
Dusk is alright.
Soul-Scar Mage helps all of our burn get around indestructible creatures
Insult might find a spot
Sweltering Suns is a boardclear option too
Makes me wanna play Sundial of the Infinite and more cards like Final Fortune, Last Chance, Warrior's Oath to take advantage of that. Not sure if it is worth just for those though.
Will have to find some slots, always the toughest part :/
Chaos Maw, Hour of Devastation
