“A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship; but it is not this day...This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!”

Oathbreaker: Nahiri, the Harbinger

Signature Spell: Enlightened Tutor

I hope the Oathbreaker format takes off, because I insist on playing Boros in singleton! This deck can win off of combat or combos. Typically, the signature spell is meant to grab Sunforger .

Sunforger provides great support for an attacking creature and allows easy access to an instant spell. If combat and Sunforger shenanigans just aren't working, there is a two-card infinite combo for a quick win: Midnight Guard and Splinter Twin (the latter can be easily drawn by the signature spell!).

As far as theme goes, I'm a huge fan of the fantasy genre (hence the Return of the King quote & the song lyrics at the end) so I went for an army of knights and dragons led by Sylvia Brightspear and Khorvath Brightflame . The goal was to capture the feeling of a united battalion, similar to the Boros Legion itself, and to portray another side of the flavor I love most about my two favorite MTG colors.

"And if the night is burning, I won't cover my eyes. For if the dark returns then my brothers will die.

And as the sky is falling down, it crashed into this lonely town, and with that shadow upon the ground, I hear my people screaming out.

I see fire! Inside the mountain, I see fire burning the trees.

And I see fire, hollowing sould. I see fire, blood in the breeze...

...And I hope that you remember me."

-Ed Sheeran
