2006 Boros variant

Update by Caviloso 10 years ago

Description

Like all Boros Deck Wins versions, these attack early with white beaters to pull the opponent into burn range and then finish with one of 16 red direct damage spells. In Boros, your creatures are essentially burn spells that help knock down the opponent's life total, not to be treated expressly as creatures, as with most other decks. If you can get in four with a first-turn Savannah Lions with Boros, you should be pretty ecstatic.

The unique elements of this version are red creatures Scorched Rusalka and Giant Solifuge. The Rusalka pushes the whole my creatures are faux burn spells to its furthest logical conclusion of actually burning the opponent down with them, and Giant Solifuge is just a mislabeled burn spell anyway. Together these two cards are some of the best tools Boros has against the hated Faith's Fetters.
