It's no secret that boros convoke has been the best aggressive deck in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering's Standard format ever since the release of Murders at Karlov Manor. As standard is currently a format dominateಌd by aggressive decks, this also means boros convoke is arguably the best deck in the metagame.

While rotation will subtract from this deck's power level to a small degree, you can betಞ that boros convoke isn't going anywhere soon. The loss of Voldaren Epicure is a notable change in the decklist, however, it can easily be replaced so that your Gleeful Demolition maintains the same consistency of targets. Let's see what the best deck in Standard might look like post-rotation.

Sample Decklist

Key Cards

Gleeful Demolition

Alongside Novice Inspector, Yotian Frontliner, and, now, Rabbit Battery, Gleeful Demolition has enough targets to destroy one of your own artifacts and create a horde of goblins for an extremely undercosted price. Going wide is the name of the game with this deck, and this🌳 is your best card for going as wi🍌de as possible.

Your best opening hands will contain this card and an artifact or artifact creature to 'sacrifice' to it. You can then take the most advantage of your go-wide payoff caไrds like Ca♛se of the Gateway Express, Warleader's Call, Sanguine Evangelist, and Imodane's Recruiter.

It's usually best to deploy Gleeful Demolition on turn two so that you can start swinging with your Goblin tokens before your opponent has block෴ers.

That being said, there are some times when you'll want to hold onto Gleeful Demolition until you have a Warleader's Call on the battlefield. Pinging your oppon🌳ent for three dꦅamage is a great alternative plan if your Goblins can't attack early.

Knight-Errant Of Eos

Seeing as this is the only card that actually has convoke, Knight-Errant of Eos is the namesake of the deck and for good reason. Typically, token strategies fall apart because the opponeꦯnt can present blockers that will cost you tokens when you go to attacks. Knight-Errant solves this problem by allowing you to tap your tokens for ma꧙na and presenting a sizeable threat on its own.

Perhaps most importantly, Knight-Errant also lets you reload your hand with more creatures with which you can litter the battlefield. It's good to always convoke for at least three so that you can add any Imodane's Recruiters you find to your hand. After all, Recruite♛r usually ends up being your alpha strike win condition.

Keep in mind that Knight-Errant finds creatures with mana value equal to or less than the amount of creatures that convoked it. If you have the creatures available, this means that you can convoke for five to chain Knight-Errants assuming you find one on the top of your deck.

Imodane's Recruiter

This is the card that completes your go-wide strategy. While Case of t꧒he Gateway Express and Warleader's Call can both add nice buffs to your board, it's the addition of Recruiter's enter the battlefield trigger that typically lets you alpha strike fo൩r lethal damage.

Don't forget that Recruiter's trigger also gives all of your creatures haste, allowing you to play the multitude of one and two mana cost creatures in this deck before casting Recruiter and going to combat with them immediately. You won't use the Train Troops side of this card too often, however, it🧸 can make a huge difference in a matchup where the board stalls out.

Warden Of The Inner Sky

While boros convoke has no shortage of ways to break board stalls with an anthem or two, sometimes the board is going to stall out. In cases where you are unable to attack with your creatures due to opposing blockers, Warden of the Inner Sky is here to help you out.

Tap your creatures to make your warden a sizeable threat while also fixing the top of your deck for the exact card you need to break the board stall. Scrying multiple times can often be better than a draw effect wheꩲn you're playing highly synergi💃stic cards like boros convoke does.

Often, you won't be scrying to just remove dead draws like lands from the top of your deck. You'll be scrying to find a card l༺ike Imodane's Recruiter, Warleader's Call, or Knight-Errant of Eos so that you can hit your opponent with a haymaker.

Don't be afraid to scry away smaller creatures in favor of the chance to draw a finisher.

How To Play Boros Convoke

Go wide strategies typically seek to reach a critical mass of creatures before buffing them all and swinging in for lethal with an alpha strike. Boros convoke is no different in this regard. The first few turns of the game will be spent building your board with your one cost and two cost creatures as well as chipping𒅌 in for damage where you can.

Don'tꦅ be afraid to lose a creature to a blocker if you can chip in for three or more damage. The damage adds up turn after𒅌 turn!

Ideally, turn three or four is when you drop a Case of the Gateway Express or Warleader's Call to buff the 🐭power of your entire attack force. Multiples of each card𝔉 or both cards in tandem are even better.

By turn four or five, you'll either cast an Imodane's Recruiter and swing for lethal or convoke a Knight-Errant of Eos so that you can add Imodane's Recruiter to your hand and alpha strike on the following turn. In short, go wide, buff your🌟 board, and alpha strike for letha𝓡l damage.

Of course, this is assuming everything goes to plan. As mentioned previously, Warden of the Inner Sky and Knight-Errant of Eos can help you find additional gas to break any potential board stalls. Furthermore, Sanguine Evangelist's battle cry trigger provides yet another way to give your creatures an additional anth♔em that might allow you to swing in for lethal.

Sideboarding

There's a lot of synergy to boros convoke which means you don't have a lot of cards to take out of the deck when sideboarding. Primary candidates for swapping out include Sanguine Evangelist, Case of the Gateway Express, and Warleader's Call.

While these are all anthems that are important to boros convoke's strategy, the deck has such a redundancy of anthems that it can afford to lose a few of the ones that aren't as useful in a specific matchup. For example, Case of the Greatway Express is much less impressive of a card when the o🍌pponent isn't playing any good creatures to use it as removal against.

As far as bringing cards in, Lithomantic Barrage, Get Lost, and Destroy Evil are all good answers to big creatures that try to roadblock your attacks. Destroy Evil, in particular, is useful against decks playing Wedding Announcement or other enchantments. In other words, these are your typi🍸cal answers to midrange decks.

As far as control matchups are concerned, Invasion of Gobakhan and Urabrask's Forge are here to provide assistance. Gobakhan gives you a way to fight board wipes, and Urabrask's Forge provides inevitability against decks trying to win iꦐn the super late game.
