Commander: Boros General (Red/White)

Finally we move on to Boros, probably my favorite bi-colored combination. Red and White, unfortunately, is probably the most underwhelming color combination in EDH as well. Our goal today is to find a creature that will be able to compete with all of the other color combinations and be able to bring Boros to the top. Once again, Boros is a color combination with a lack of legends, so out of the five creatures, I found that Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer is probably the most useful out of them all, so let's see just what Jor Kadeen can do.

Now for Jor Kadeen, the biggest priority is to get metalcraft going for him. The best way to do this is by having artifact lands and plenty of mana producing artifacts. Another great way to go through with this is to have low costing equipment that offer protection, buffs up Jor Kadeen, and is able to take large bites out of your opponent's life total. Once you have metalcraft active, then you are set. Your commander is now an 8/4 with first strike that also gives all of your other creatures +3/+0. This will provide a lot of damage when you're either attacking with Jor Kadeen or with Jor's massive army that you should be building up. Either way, you should undoubtedly be able to deal enough commander damage with Jor Kadeen to win the game.

Once again, the only negative to an aggro deck like this is the surplus to mass removal that thrives in EDH. The best way to run an aggro deck is to accept the fact that you will lose your army more than once, and that you need to have a fail safe that allows you to rebuild quick and strike back even harder.

You can buy Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer and other cards that fit into his deck for a low price at http://www.mtgfanatic.com/!
