Overview:

This Boros token aggro deck leverages Neyali, Suns' Vanguard to create wide boards of enhanced tokens while generating card advantage through combat. The strategy focuses on deploying token generators, amplifying their effectiveness with anthems, and using Neyali's exile-to-cast ability for sustained value. While lacking infinite combos, it aims to overwhelm through sheer token volume enhanced by double strike and +1/+1 effects.

Primer:

Core Strategy:
Deploy 1-2 token generators by T3-4 (Legion Warboss, Felidar Retreat), then use Neyali's double strike and card advantage to maintain pressure. Critical mass turns (T6-8) use X-spells like Martial Coup or Finale of Glory to create overwhelming boards. Key anthems (Intangible Virtue, Harmonious Archon) make tokens lethal, while recursion engines like Otharri, Suns' Glory provide late-game resilience.

Mulligan Priorities:

• 3 lands with RW sources
• At least 1 early token generator (T1-3)
• 1 anthem/protection piece (Flawless Maneuver, Roar of Resistance)
  Reject hands without token production or excessive high-cost cards.

Key Tips:

• Sequence token makers before anthem effects
• Use Neyali's exile ability for free spells post-combat
• Save board wipes (Hour of Reckoning) for opposing go-wide strategies
• Prioritize experience counters with Otharri for exponential token generation

Avoid Traps:

• Overextending into sweepers without protection
• Holding back attackers unnecessarily - Neyali demands consistent token attacks
• Using removal on non-critical threats when racing

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• No graveyard recursion for tokens
• Heavy reliance on commander for card advantage

Moderate:

• Weak to early board wipes (Blasphemic Act, Toxic Deluge)
• Limited interaction for non-creature threats

Minor:

• Vulnerable to flying blockers
• Some clunky high-CMC spells (Goldwardens' Gambit)

Most Important Cards:

• Felidar Retreat
• Intangible Virtue
• Assemble the Legion
• Harmonious Archon
• Otharri, Suns' Glory
• Hour of Reckoning
• Heroic Reinforcements
• Martial Coup
• Flawless Maneuver
• Idol of Oblivion

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 5/10
Goldfishes lethal around T8-9 through incremental token growth. X-spells enable explosive turns but require significant setup.

Resilience: 4/10
Partial recovery from 1-2 wipes possible with persistent generators (Court of Grace), but folds to repeated removal of Neyali/token engines.

Consistency: 6/10
12 redundant token sources and 5 anthem effects provide reliable board development, but limited tutors for key pieces.

Interaction: 3/10
Minimal instant-speed interaction (Boros Charm, Path to Exile). Reactive plays often conflict with aggressive strategy.

Rating Justification:

The deck outperforms precons through focused synergy (4.0) but lacks the speed/protection of optimized builds (5.5). Comparable to upgraded precons with moderate upgrades - establishes threats consistently but folds to focused disruption. Key weaknesses in interaction and combo resilience prevent higher ratings.

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
