Deck overview

This deck is a Boros midrange strategy commanded by Quintorius, History Chaser. It revolves around extracting repeated value whenever cards leave the graveyard, translating routine recursion, flashback, and exile effects into an army of 3/2 Spirit creature tokens. The deck uses early two-mana acceleration to cast Quintorius ahead of curve on Turn 4, immediately fueling the graveyard with its +1 looting ability. Midgame play leverages engines like Squee, Goblin Nabob, Containment Construct, and reanimation spells to trigger Quintorius on every turn cycle. Win conditions rely on overwhelming combat steps powered by Quintorius's -4 double strike ultimate, Hofri Ghostforge, or a game-ending Moonshaker Cavalry. While resilient against spot removal thanks to deep reanimation lines, the deck is vulnerable to sweeping graveyard exile and wide creature wipes.
