I do run one deck where MLD (blow up all creatures and lands and artifacts I don't control) is the inherent strategy of the deck. It is how it wins. That said, I play in a battlecruiser meta where a lot of people spend a ton of time ramping into huge threats. I also don't play the deck particularly often, since it is meant as a counter to other nasty decks. There are other decks where I do run limited MLD to keep things pretty fair. The boros deck I run in particular that uses this strategy runs:
They don't tend to be fun, but they are also all meant to keep things even for all players rather than blow up all the lands. It also generally leaves players able to still interact to keep our land ramp happy players from going crazy.
So to redirect the conversation, regardless of whether MLD, board wipe, etc is effective or fun, what are the best color(s) for this deck archetype and what generals seem viable?

Red and White excel at MLD, M anything D, for that matter.
If you're going to play a boros control/aggro control list with this sort of sub theme, I would keep my general 6 orunder. in my personal opinion, archangel avacyn is probably one of the best commanders this archetype could run. Failing that, aurelia or others are still good.
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.
I know this is a dumb reason to dredge this topic back up, but I just realized that the scourge edition of decree of annihilation has LESS reminder text than the "premium" FTV version. Eww.
