Iroas, God of Victory. BAMF, but I've built Iroas decks and they don't smash my opponents mercilessly...can you help? Not to worry, our top scientists have developed the following to ensure your Boros (Registered Trademark) legion wipes your opponent(s) off the face of the earth.
You WILL like the following if you:
1. Like swinging for massive attacks with and indestructible Boros (Registered Trademark) legion.
2. You like drawing 60 cards for one red mana.
3. You like piloting a tempo deck and combo/aggro finisher.
You WILL NOT LIKE this build if you:
1. Prefer linear plays of creature attack creature attack.
2. Dislike the Combat Phase
3. Strong dislike (or deep seated mistrust) of tokens.
How does the deck work?
Primary Strategy: Begin your work towards the required 7 devotion for Iroas by playing early enchants that will buff Iroas or deter your opponent for the first 5 or six turns. It is quite likely these enchants are safe but if you suspect your opponent is capable of removal, open with the lower mana costed ones first.
Secondary Strategy: Fill your graveyard with enchants. Cast ReplenishOpen the Vaults or Recoup followed by one of the aforementioned.
Notes: One of the beauties of recursion is its resilience to counter magic. Preferably hard cast enchants to draw counters and wait for an opening to Replenish. The main enchant targets for rector are Assemble the Legion if you have no army and True Conviction otherwise.
This deck is loads of fun and of my own design, hope you enjoy!
