Budget Commander Staples: Boros

Continuing this month's series looking at budget Commander staples, today I focus on Boros colors (red/white). I focus on four categories: ramp, card draw, targeted removal, and board wipe. And this is budget, so cards cost under $2.

Ramp

Ramp is about accelerating land deployment and/or mana access. There are no ramp cards in exactly Boros colors.

Card draw

Card draw in Boros colors often involves discarding first.

Targeted removal

This is where Boros shines. It has many budget cards (I show ten below) that deal damage or remove artifacts or enchantments. Note that many of the damage-dealing cards also cause you to gain life, hinting at common strategies in these colors.

Board wipe 

Boros has a few board wipe options, though two are based on damage that may not fully sweep the board.

Conclusion

The 18 cards shown above are worth considering for any Boros Commander deck, and won't break your bank to include.
