{"ops":[{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/15402451/brions_big_shot_pov"},"insert":"Brion's Big Shot POV • (Boros Commander deck) • Archidekt"},{"insert":"\n\nRough draft deck. Idea is to be able to generate large creatures to one-shot opponents with Brion (or a couple other cards, e.g. chandra ignition/soulblast). Currently running into the usual boros issues. Assume the metagame is aggro/midrange heavy, combo-control lighter, and (to the extent possible) consistently kill players on-between turns 4,5,6,7,8. Expected damage necessary to 1-shot is '40', or otherwise meaning a creature with power=20 and a double damage card effect in play (or equivalent method to apply that 20 power worth of damage twice). \n\nCurrently at a point where it will properly kill someone on turn 4 or 5 but then not do anything for the rest of the game. Also susceptible to boardwipes without being able to recover. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"My first impression is you have very few (~7, optimistically) card advantage effects/engines.
