I am thinking about building a deck with Brion Stoutarm as the general. I would like to use him abitily along with cards such as threaten to add insult to injury. I will use Adarkar Valkyrie, Bazaar Trader and Sigil of the New Dawn as I think it would be hillarious to keep some of the stolen creatures (or bring back mine which could also be sac'd to sneak attack). I am asking for your help to find similar cards. Most of my research provided cards that return the creatures to their owner's hand (for example Otherworldly Journey), which is not what I have in mind. I am prioritizing permanents in order to maximize the deck's potential.
Thanks for your insight!
EDIT: I will not use threaten and similar cards with a temporary effect, after all.
I like your idea with Sneak Attack, I think that would be the approach I'd use, cards like Quicksilver Amulet and Winding Canyons so you can flash your stuff into play, then you can get best value. Cards like Gratuitous Violence and Vicious Shadows could be good vinishers, same as Insurrection. Don't forget about gems like Desolation Giant as well. GL
If people are sick of reading about stuff just stop taking part. You have 100% control over what you read. Simic Ascendancy isn't going to get banned just because you didn't tell someone to shut up on the internet.
Sun Titan and Reveillark can let you grab small creatures you use to snipe at utility creatures; in fact, having a ready sac outlet makes all the Morningtide evoke creatures better.
You'll want untap effects; unfortunately, most of those are in the other colors (specifically blue and green), so Puppet Strings comes to mind.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
These are all great suggestions, thanks for sharing your card ideas. What creatures (I will use Gisela) would also fit well in your opinion? I will use malignus and serra avatar for sure.
Moltensteel Dragon can usually do enough to KO an opponent when flung. I've also liked the oldie but goodie Preacher as one of the few ways to repeatedly steal creatures in Boros colors.
I have only included so far permanents which seem to synergize well with Brion. I am NOT planning on using sunforger since I already use it in another deck. I also want to avoid temporary effects such as threaten. I will add a copy of Helm of Possession once my LGS gets one, this is the kind of card that helps keep the pressure on.
If you have some time and have some insight, I would appreciate some feedback as to what to remove/add to make it truly effective. I suppose many of you have seen Brion in action, so your input will really help.
I always liked Debt of Loyalty for Brion. Obviously doesn't synergize that much with the chucking but it's great when you have to throw one creature at another or can grab a critter etc.
I considered that card at one point, but it didn't make the cut. Note that you cannot target creatures with the throwing part, only players. I wish I could, though!

Also build in some flicker to perm gain control, or reset/protect Brion.
Cloudshift
Cold Storage
Conjurer's Closet
Restoration Angel
Synod Sanctum
You can use Cathars' Crusade to make creatures bigger. It's also great with Twilight Shepherd. (In fact, if you have a free sac outlet like Goblin Bombardment, it goes infinite.)

On phasing:
Anger - Fling it to get it in the graveyard, then it gives haste to your entire army.

Aetherflux Reservoir could be good as Brion gets your lifetotal up high pretty fast.
Cradle of Vitality is also good. Sac a creature, grow the next.
As far as card draw goes, Well of Lost Dreams is a must in this deck.
Sorry on phone so no tags

You can get search out staples like Swords to Plowshares, Oblation, Choas Warp, Wear and Tear, etc
But specifically for Brion you can pack; Grab the Reins, Fling, Fatal Frenzy, Blind with Anger.

It took me awhile, but I finally began building my Brion edh deck. Here is the link to the initial build.
