Therefore, look for opening hands with two white sources and a red source, or something close to it. This is one of those decks that doesn’t function without its commander, so we want her out, and out early. However, Feather’s unique ability should give this one much more staying power than other decks in the same colors.Īs previously mentioned, priority number one is casting Feather. Like every other Boros deck, this deck wants to attack. The first time you draw an opening hand with Plains, Mountain, and Reliquary Tower, you’ll know what I mean. If you’re including any colorless sources, be sure that they’re really, truly worth the inconsistency. Red and double white is far harder to cast than it looks at first glance. Check out Feather’s land section for the rest. Rugged Prairie is especially nice since it should fill whatever hole we’re missing in our mana. Let’s see what Akros’s favorite power couple is up to. Or rather, tweeted it best:īefore you try reinventing the wheel to anticipate what Boros EDH players are going to buy for their new Feather decks, cruise over to the Anax and Cymede page on to see what basically the exact deck has looked like for years now Other Heroic NotionsĮDHREC’s own Jason Alt said it best. In addition to those, make sure to include Heroic payoffs such as Vanguard of Brimaz, Akroan Conscriptor, Fabled Hero, and Labyrinth Champion. But who cares? You can do it again later!) (Of note: Since you didn’t cast the copy, you won’t trigger the Crusader’s Heroic ability. Now Zada, Feather, and the Crusader all get +3/+1 and you scry 1 three times. You cast Titan's Strength targeting your Zada. įor example, let’s say you have Zada, Hedron Grinder, Feather, the Redeemed, and Akroan Crusader on the battlefield. I like to think of them as super Heroic payoffs. These both have a lot of text but they basically say this: When you cast a combat trick on them, copy and cast the trick once for each other creature you control. Some other cards that fit the bill include Crimson Wisps, Gods Willing, and Psychotic Fury. Thus, we’re going to favor enablers that are cheap instants that draw cards, filter cards, or grant a significant bonus to our creatures (or all three). That’s extraordinary card advantage, especially from a Boros commander. That means we can cast instants like the ones above on our turn, then again on each opponent’s turn (assuming we have the requisite mana). That puts us ahead on cards!įeather’s ability returns the spell to our hand “at the beginning of the next end step.” The critical word here is next. However, so long as Feather is on the battlefield when we cast cantrips targeting our creatures, they’ll return to our hand on end step. Normally cantrips are useful but not especially powerful. After all, we’re even on cards, not ahead. Yes, they trigger Heroic, b ut they also draw us a card when they resolve (most people call that a cantrip). These cards might not look like much at first glance, but they’re hugely impactful. Perfect! Heroic Enablersįirst, let’s focus on our Heroic enablers. Feather allows us to recoup our combat tricks and therefore re-trigger Heroic ad nauseum. Why? Well, many Heroic enablers are combat tricks (for those who don’t play much Draft, combat tricks are instants that alter a creature’s base stats to help them win combats). Anax and Cymede are a red-white legend that actually have a Heroic ability, but we didn't go with them as the leaders. Though there were heroes in every color, most fell into white and red. Feather seems to hit the mark.įeather also feels like the perfect commander for our Heroic deck. We came close with Depala, Pilot Exemplar and Munda, Ambush Leader. EDH players have been asking for a Boros commander that does something besides turn sideways for years. To be clear, I’m just as hyped as everyone else. Feather, the Redeemed already had 98 EDHREC decks.

To give you context, I began writing this article a week and a half before the set’s full spoiler dropped. This card is the most anticipated thing since the Game of Thrones season premiere.
