However, I am abusing a key synergy between Cadric, and legendary lands, most importantly "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Flagstones of Trokair"}},{"insert":". This rather "},{"attributes":{"background":"#ffffff","color":"#1f1f1f"},"insert":"innocuous land is highly synergistic with Cadric, Going through the play pattern of just playing the land with your commander on field means you can use flagstones to pay the 1, creating a token copy that when it gets sacrificed at end of turn, lets you tutor a plains directly into play, thus playing a single land gets you three landfall triggers. Another element of cadric is that he supports the legendary payoffs, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Moraug, Fury of Akoum"}},{"insert":" , while also providing the deck with a backup of card advantage. \n\nAnother way of putting in additional lands, is recursion from the graveyard, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sun Titan"}},{"insert":", one of my favourite cards, can provide an additional land of attacking, and affects such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sevinne's Reclamation"}},{"insert":" turn into a pseudo rampant growth. This connects with a few straight up land ramp cards found in colourless to provide a lot of casual landfall throughout the game. In order to support the 'land reanimation' I have included a host of fetch lands and land sacrifice outlets such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Need for Speed"}},{"insert":" , which not only synergise with flagstones and a land reanimate to be able to gnerate 4 landfall triggers from a single land, but also become especially important with a final element of the deck.\n\nLastly, how would Boros be able to generate enough landfall tiggers to win through cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Spitfire Lagac"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tunneling Geopede"}},{"insert":" , or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Valakut Exploration"}},{"insert":"? the answer: pseudo scapeshifts. To do this, you engage the highly risky play of sacrificing all (or many) of your lands to a 'land sac-outlet' and then return all of them using an affect like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Second Sunrise"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant"}},{"insert":" (which is also legendary so you can do this twice with enough mana and your commander in play).\n\nI wanted to make sure that the only real wya this deck could win was through landfall triggers, whether it be pump, direct damage, or token creation this is all backed up clones, and legendaries to get you over the finish line, and to create one of my favourite decks I have ever brewed. \n\nAnd thats all, thank you so much for reading through this synergistic monster of a deck and it's primer, please consider Liking this comment if you like the deck :)\n"}]}

The plan? Build up a life total higher than anyone else's, then unleash devastating burn spells while standing strong as the last player remaining.\nSince Izzet doesn’t naturally excel at lifegain, this deck leans on lifelink creatures and equipment to generate meaningful life swings. Artifact tutors ensure consistent access to key enablers, while the commander plays a pivotal role by reducing equipment costs and granting equipped creatures flying. This not only makes them more evasive but also allows them to survive board wipes when paired with mass burn spells that leave flying creatures untouched.\nTo further reinforce the strategy, a few life-matters stax pieces help maintain an edge by letting us absorb their costs more effectively than opponents. Meanwhile, a hand full of removal and counterspells ensures we can interact when needed and keep threats in check.\nFor a deeper dive into the deck’s strategy and synergies, check out the full deck description.\n"}]}
