For those who voted for Momir over Edric for the last category I would like to direct your attention to the French national EDH championships which included three edrics in the top 8 along with one winning the whole thing...can you guess how many momirs ended up doing well at that event?
Thats because the French National EDH championship is a completely different beast than a lot of other 1v1 EDH because for starters Clique isn't banned which makes playing any non-aggro/aggro control deck literally impossible. I can definitely see Edric being really good against a lot of other aggro and aggro control decks. But in a meta where Clique is banned and the meta isn't horribly warped towards one end of the spectrum, combo is a lot better.

But whomever your commander is, Cabal Coffers is really in charge.
I don't think any of the lists are up besides the winning Edric list which is in this thread. Unsurprisingly there were 5 aggro decks, 2 Control decks, (although Clique is more like an Aggro Control deck) and 1 Zur deck. The French Metagame is super warped and Combo is almost completely unplayable because of the Prevalence of Wydwyn and Clique but to each his own I guess. As for Boros generals, most of them kinda suck but maybe Brion Stoutarm is the best?

Emmara is like the worst parts of Legends and Homelands got pregnant, aborted the fetus, tossed it in the trashcan, set it on fire and wrapped the corpse in a Dragon's Maze pack wrapper.
maybe I'm missing something how is jor kadeen better than brion stoutarm
Jor Kadeen has a clear plan; that is artifact ramp to land destruction. It's actually very effective against non-blue or decks that are unprepared for it.
Brion on the other hand, is a guy that swings creatures. You can make for a decent suicide aggro strategy but oftentime it won't be enough to hold your opponent down before he combos out.

Jor Kadeen. Lifelink is less relevant than first strike. Jor has twice brion's power for only 1 more mana if you built your deck right and the boost is alot more scary than one fling a turn.

All is tactics are fair in magic except for land destruction and islands.

That statement and the fact that Edric is flat out a superior general to Momir Vig don't conflict.
Back on topic: every boros general is bad in 1v1, but I guess if I had to choose, I'd go with Brion Stoutarm
