2006 Boros 'Wildfire Emissaries' variant

Gemaakt door Caviloso 9 jaren geleden

Omschrijving

What makes this deck strategically any better than any other? The secret weapons are the unusual Wildfire Emissaries. This was a card that was It! Girl! of Pro Tour – Dallas way back when Swords to Plowshares and Lightning Bolt were the standard for Standard elimination spells… If the default beatdown deck is all white creatures, Wildfire Emissary may be even better now than it was in 1996.

This deck doesn't have any problems hitting four mana. Unlike the other undefeated Boros builds, he doesn't eat his own lands with Gemstone Mine. The Emissaries run past other White creatures, and are pretty hard to kill. You can take one out with a Char, but not a Condemn or Temporal Isolation, meaning that you will usually get your mana's worth if you pump the Emissary to the max on offense. If another Boros deck wants to burn the big 2/4 down, he'll need Volcanic Hammer and Rift Bolt because, subtly, Lightning Helix doesn't quite do the job, or even help.
