The Commander
At the beginning of combat on your turn, another target creature you control gains haste and myriad until end of turn. (Whenever it attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token copy that's tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker they control. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)
Guide
Gameplan
Pick a creature with a powerful combat or attack trigger, give it myriad each turn, and swing at all three opponents at once to multiply that trigger across the board. You ramp toward big threats, protect your key attacker, and turn a single connect into overwhelming damage, tokens, or value before the copies are exiled.
Strengths
- Triples attack-trigger and combat-damage payoffs every turn for free
- Excellent at pressuring all opponents simultaneously, making it a strong politics and threat-spreading deck
- Boros aggro gets a built-in repeatable value engine instead of running out of gas
- Synergizes with go-wide and big-creature strategies alike
Weaknesses
- Myriad copies are exiled at end of combat, so the value is fleeting if not converted
- Heavily reliant on having a good attacker; without one the ability does little
- Red-white lacks card draw and ramp compared to other color pairs
- The targeted creature is vulnerable to removal in response to the combat trigger
- Six-mana commander that doesn't immediately impact the board
Key Cards
- Combat Celebrant — Its exert grants an extra combat step, and myriad copies each trigger to chain multiple attack phases.
- Etali, Primal Storm — Myriad copies each cast free spells off the top of every player's library for explosive value.
- Hellkite Tyrant — Steals all permanents from each opponent it damages, and myriad lets it threaten everyone at once.
- Ognis, the Dragon's Lash — Generates Treasure for every creature dealing combat damage, and a myriad swarm floods you with mana.
- Bedlam — Forces creatures to attack and removes blocking, ensuring your myriad attacker connects across all opponents.
- Aurelia, the Warleader — Untaps your team for a second combat, doubling Ulder's myriad triggers in a single turn.
Upgrade Path
Prioritize creatures whose attack or combat-damage triggers scale explosively with copies (Etali, Hellkite Tyrant, Combat Celebrant) and add extra-combat enablers like Aurelia and Aggravated Assault. Shore up Boros's weaknesses with fast mana (Sol Ring, Smothering Tithe, Treasure makers) and card advantage from impulse draw. Include protection like Heroic Intervention and ways to force damage through such as Bedlam and trample to maximize myriad payoffs.
