It feels very EDH to keep ramming Heal for bonus cardboard.
Off-topic, but uses Blessed Wine instead for binge drinking.
I personally built my Feather with a Boros #1 approach, i.e., steady army production with spell support, plus equipments. Due to Boros's general lack of card advantages I notice people would do their best to keep Feather from staying on the board, thus terminate the deck's longevity, a standing army would allow the rest of your deck to be threatening if left unchecked. That, and other wincons like Mentor, Reservoir, and Wand in case combat is denied.
Sure, but flavor-wise it might make more sense. Shooting your own creature with aurelia's fury is definitely an odd thing to incentivize. I think the "intent" is that you're using pump spells with her.
I’m sure Boros is not against some discipline and tough love. Aside from Rakdos, Boros is likely the second candidate for the whole “pain is pleasure” motto.
What do you guys think about a “no-creature” Feather deck? I find it a lot easier to keep her alone alive, allow me to use all the targeted boardwipe with impunity.
Yep. You have to choose between copying the spell and having your team punch themselves in the face, and actually doing something useful with the spell, in which case no copying will happen.
I'm kind of surprised feather doesn't have the same "only targets one creature" stipulation, but I guess it doesn't have the same difficulty of target selection that mirrorwing/zada would have without that clause.
I'm pretty sure that doesn't work. Soul's Fire has two targets, your creature and the damage sponge.
Well, it "works" insofar as you CAN copy soul's fire with mirrorwing, but you can only do it if both targets are mirrorwing dragon. In which case your whole team will punch themselves in the face.
Which is hilarious, but probably not productive.
Lol, I see the problem here.
All targets on a spell has to target Mirrorwing for it to copy the spell. I presume if I designate Mirrorwing as one of the target for Soul's Fire, the spell would still work, just not copied, yes?
Using Experimental Frenzy would require careful deckbuilding because you won't be able to include so many cantrips since Frenzy won't let you use the cards that you draw since you can't play cards from your hand.. In fact, when you get back the spells from Feather's ability, they go back to your hand, and Frenzy would stop you from using them again.
That Torchling idea is really cool! A bit mana-intensive but it's certainly stylish. I'd rather use Torchling than Grip of Chaos since it isn't random.
Yes, Experimental Frenzy would be a gamble, though also allow explosive game play since you could scry/draw rapidly to get through your deck.
I playtested my version today, and the surprise winner was actually Soul's Fire. With Mirrorwing Dragon in play, I used Twinflame to copy my entire board (with some token establishment), double the number of my creatures, then Soul's Fire to have my entire board deal direct damage at any target. Since Soul's Fire is an instant, I was able to do it again on my opponent's turn with half the creatures.
EDIT: And Torchling, apparently if you respond with Feather's trigger, you can target Torchling with any spell then redirect the target to another creature, but still manage to buy it back with Feather.
I reckon. Not letting an opponents creature block is very unsportsmanlike like!
Then Darrenhabib heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that angel laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. "But no living sportsman am I!”
List updated. I'm wondering if it's wise to have both of the Kozilek in the deck, given that we will have a lot artifact ramping. Kozilek, the Great Distortion especially let us have countering effect in our deck, and Dreadhorde Arcanist let us recast those spells discarded, preferably pumped up.
Easily repeatable Heoric in a deck that rewards targeting your own creatures with anything, including removal? Hmm... *looks at Akroan Conscriptor*
For ramp, Runaway Steam-Kin is a must and Spawning Breath doesn't gain you mana immediately, but it looks interesting. Untap spells with ManaDorkslikeMyr might also work if you're okay with using them instead of rocks.
If you want tokens makers other than Young Pyromancer then there's there's Blaze Commando if there's enough burn spells, the totally not abusable Monastery Mentor, and Goblinslide if you really want a fourth effect. If you count Heroic token making abilities, there's also Akroan Crusader and Vanguard of Brimaz
Speaking of burn, is there enough to consider Enrage Dinos like Trapjaw Tyrant?
Updated the list. Good thinking on the dino/enrage.

That said, I think it's safe to add Eldrazi Monument, The Wanderer, and Tajic, Legion's Edge type cards to protect creatures further, which also makes Firesong and Sunspeaker very fitting addition here as well. And Avacyn(s).

Let’s try some Kamigawa arcane spell with her? Splice becomes reusable when one effect targets one of your creatures.
Heroic becomes easily repeatable.
Radiance cards from Ravnica I now could have buyback.
Zada and Mirrorwing Dragon fit right in here.
Red’s famous “impulse draw” (like with Outpost Siege) now adds self-creature-targeting spells back to your hand.
Will add to lists when I have time.
