Craig Boone, Novac Guard

Craig Boone is a Boros go-wide commander that scales with your army size. The core gameplan is straightforward: attack with multiple creatures each turn to stack quest counters, then redirect that accumulated damage as either targeted removal or direct damage to players. This incentivizes wide token strategies or efficient creature synergies rather than big singular threats. You're essentially turning your combat phase into a damage engine that also protects your board and deals chip damage over time.

The deck wants to generate creature tokens or play efficient small creatures that attack together. Each attack with two or more creatures adds two quest counters, so doubling tokens or playing token generators makes Craig Boone tick faster. You'll use the damage output to either remove key blockers or burn opponents directly. The lifelink keeps you safe while you're going aggro, and reach means Craig Boone can pressure flying threats. Wins come from a combination of token swarm damage, commander damage pressure, and the incremental burn from quest counters.
