Deck overview

This deck is a Boros combat control strategy that pairs Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer with the Background Noble Heritage. The game plan revolves around casting Noble Heritage on Turn 2 and deploying Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer on Turn 4 or 5. Upon entering the battlefield, Noble Heritage places two +1/+1 counters on Baeloth, turning it into a 4/7 creature that immediately and passively goads every opposing creature with power 3 or less. As Baeloth continues to grow by two counters each upkeep, larger opposing threats become forced into combat against other players, generating Treasure tokens whenever they die. The deck protects its life total with pillowfort staples like Ghostly Prison and Windborn Muse, alongside defensive combat tricks such as Deflecting Palm and Comeuppance. A robust Sunforger toolbox and free commander protection spells ensure Baeloth survives to eliminate the final surviving opponent through lethal commander damage or game-ending spells like Insurrection.
