The Commander
Indestructible
Battalion — Whenever Tajic and at least two other creatures attack, Tajic gets +5/+5 until end of turn.
Guide
Gameplan
Flood the board with creatures and attack wide to trigger Battalion, turning indestructible Tajic into a 7/7 threat while your team applies pressure. You're a go-wide Boros aggro deck that wins through combat damage backed by anthems and team-wide buffs.
Strengths
- Indestructible commander dodges most removal and board wipes, so it's a reliable repeat threat
- Cheap to recast at 4 mana keeps the aggression flowing through commander tax
- Pairs naturally with token swarms and anthem effects that Boros loves
- Battalion rewards exactly what you want to do anyway—attack with a wide board
Weaknesses
- No evasion or trample, so Tajic gets chump-blocked easily despite the +5/+5
- Indestructible doesn't stop exile, -X/-X, edicts, or bounce
- Boros lacks card advantage and ramp, so you can run out of gas
- Vulnerable to fog, deterrence effects, and faster combo decks that ignore the board
Key Cards
- Skullclamp — Boros's premier card-draw engine; sacrifice your dying tokens to refill your hand.
- Iroas, God of Victory — Makes your attackers indestructible and unblockable-by-two, perfectly enabling crowded Battalion swings.
- Assemble the Legion — Generates an ever-growing army of tokens to keep meeting the three-attacker threshold.
- Sword of Fire and Ice — Adds protection, evasion, and card draw to Tajic, turning the buffed body into a real threat.
- Hour of Reckoning — A convoke-cheap board wipe that spares your tokens, resetting the game in your favor.
Upgrade Path
Add efficient mana rocks (Boros Signet, Arcane Signet) and card-advantage engines like Smothering Tithe, Mind's Eye, and Bag of Holding to fight Boros's natural card starvation. Prioritize evasion and overrun effects—Trumpet Blast, Master Warcraft, or extra-combat spells like Aggravated Assault—to convert your wide board into actual kills, and lean on Iroas and protective equipment to make Tajic an unblockable, unkillable finisher.
