Joshua by Greggethy

Format: Commander

Commander: Joshua, Phoenix's Dominant // Phoenix, Warden of Fire

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Boros list is a discard-and-reanimation aggro deck centered on Joshua, Phoenix's Dominant // Phoenix, Warden of Fire. The front side provides cheap looting, while the deck is built to flip into Phoenix, Warden of Fire, whose third chapter reanimates any number of creatures with total mana value 6 or less. Queen Kayla bin-Kroog acts as a hidden commander in the 99, turning a full-hand discard into an army of small creatures. Wins come from hasty wide attacks, repeated Phlage/Sun Titan recursion, Warstorm Surge enter triggers, and Magmakin Artillerist direct damage. The deck is fair and recursive, with no infinite combo; it answers common hate reasonably well but relies on combat and a fragile stack game.
