Commander Game

Closing 24 hours, I will judge soon after
Edit: closed, will probably judge tomorrow

Nope. The flash is meant for it to be able to come in suddenly and block, not so you can come in and blow up all your stuff.

And the last ability has been vexing in general. You might note the conversation between myself and sdfkjgh trying to find a way to clear it up. This was the best end result I could come up with.

When you really wanna make sure, that Blasphemous Act clears the board...

PS: I know, it's Meddling Mage's art, but it just fit so well

You do realize that you gain 2 life from the triggered ability+lifelink, right?

I think I'm going to adjust the mana cost on mine to . Thoughts are always welcome. Edit: Was originally 

Alright, let's go! If you have any issue with the comments feel free to PM me or to post it in the thread, I will do my best to solve your questions. (Side note: judging this things is exhausting, but pretty funny.)

Daij_Djan : At first glance, superfriends in only two colors felt underwhelming, but after looking at the number of planeswalker cards that can be played in a Boros deck, there are a wooping 40 and most dedicated EDH lists with more colors don't run that many. Anyways the first ability seems to be the real deal here. At its worst, it's making all your walkers survive their own ultimates (I think it works that way at least). The second ability is a good in color protection foryour walkers. Very good desing, I would probably brew with it if it was an official card.

melono : This is in Firesong and Sunspeaker style, it allows you to do a red thing given you are making also a white thing. It pusnishes you opponents for gaining too much life, but I that's very meta dependant. Probably at it's strongest with Boon Reflection. Also I see a game-winning combo here (Spirit Link), but requires infinite mana so if you like it that way Boros combo is always a good thing to play.

viriss : I'm not sure whether or not this is still a combat-focused comander (it would love Godo, Aurelia, and friends) but given you are bassically milling your opponents seems fair game. The random discard can trigger some players, but I think it's a very janky commander to be competitive. Anyways, I like it, power doesn't equal fun. (Also, that art is very disturbing).

kefke : So, this is the child of Stax and Soldier tribal. Its activated ability is a "less powerful" Brion. I see it mostly helming Stax lists that try to finish the game with a Martial Coup/Secure the Wastes with X equal to all your mana. If you get to untap without getting wiped, you probaly have it. And the first ability probably ensures none disrupts you. Overall is fine, but I can't help feeling it uncohesive, you know, the two abilites don't seem to stick together in a coherent way.

sdfkjgh : Quick and straightforward, truly Boros. This is okay, but mostly as part in the 99 in an EDH deck. If you want to stop your opponents from cheating spells you are probably better off playing Lavinia in an Azorious deck (Also, I'm not sure if rules-wise this punishes players for cheating spells, but I think that's what you wanted).

pbtenchi : You could have won this contest with only one change: remove defender. I would love a deck full of noncreature spells (with some Eldrazi Titans to prevent death by self mill) that boosted your general's power and smashed faces in a mix of Voltron and Spellslinger. But it having Defender totally stops that route. I would definitely give it a try if I could make that build (I'm really hyped right now for Wizards making that one day).

Sanfonier of the Night : I'm going to be clear, I don't like this. I think you wanted to make a Ramp commander but it forcing you to sacrifice your lands with the first ability and then asking you to sacrifice those same lands to the second one seems like he is punching himself in the face. Probably without the first sacrifice ability it would be broken but this way it seems unplayable. (Sorry if I've been harsh, I mean everything as a constructive critic.)

Flo00 : As you said it's Omen Machine but only with good omens. Cheating Eldrazis is always fun but this can also be played in a Group Huge style if that's your way.

geminix : Emrakul and some wurms are crying, the poor things didn't deserve to be killed by Blasphemous Act. Leaving jokes aside, I like this and how the abilites mirror each other. It's simple and clear and communicates the game plan very well. Nice entry (but I would have loved if it could copy Boon Reflection's trigger). 

gateways7 : What can I say that you haven't said yet in your description? It's a very nice card. Just one thing: I think you could say just "you gain 2 life" instead of "you gain twice as much life", because it changes nothing, does it?

Tesagk : This is an insta-win if you cast Secure the Wastes with X equal to 20, but that's a preety hard task to achieve in Boros. Anyways, I think it's too easy to break, 20 creatures seems like much but you can just create lots of tokens. It rewards you for going wide without disabling the combat way so it's a nice enabler. I see it at its best acting as a hidden commander in the 99. Also, if the win trigger was on the upkeep it would be less likely to steal a game out of nowhere (well, if having twenty creatures can be called nowhere). I like it.

gluestick248 : Pyrohemia as a commander? Sing me up. Now seriously, the cost of the activated abilty makes it prohibitve most of the time to kill 3-toughness creatures, but it being instant speed can take combat math to some interesting levels. I also like it being a dino, allowing for Boros dinos capitalizing Enrage abilities.

Jartis : This is very similar to Tesagk's entry, but better executed (sorry Tesagk). Anyways, it seems too weak. If you got the counters instead of the creature it would be far more powerful (maybe too powerful) but at least it would stop it from being murdered with four counters.

Lady Mapi : Alright so, Fervor and all its variants are auto-include in this decklists. Outside of that, exploiting ETB triggers (and not only your triggers) has already proved powerful (ask Brago and Roon). Seems okay at four, as that the cost of most Oblivion Rings with upside.

I thought I had, sorry. I had been writing for almost an hour when I got to your entry so I must have skipped it. Gaining huge chunks of life seems funny for you, but i'm not sure if it is for your opponents, creating a huge army of 1/1 to have them instantly wiped by a dino who also heals it's controller can be somewhat frustrating. But that's their fault, don't ever put food in front of a big hungy dino.

mrlozano: Not quite. It's more for things like Shah of Naar Isle, or when they've reduced a cost down to (see Semblance Anvil, et al), as opposed to not paying a cost.
