    [Deck] Dubble Bubble

    This is a red/white control-ish deck, whose main win cons are Stoneforge Mystic, a bunch of burn spells (which also act as creature removal/fodder for Young Pyromancer), Young Pyromancer tokens, and Blood Moon-effects all as finishers. The main ways to control are through creature removal and Silence to stall the opponent while you finish them off. Wasteland/Ancient Tomb (and even Ajani Vengeant) can also be used on land light/dual-focused decks as another way to stall your opponent. This deck does not play like a typical Boros deck at all, as it focuses more on control as opposed to a rushing attack.

    Key cards

    Mother of Runes

    Mother of Runes is like a Swiss army knife wrapped in a 1-drop. She’s great for defense, creature protection, offense, and as a lightning rod for removal. She can protect Stoneforge Mystic and Young Pyromancer while they do their thing.

    Lightning Bolt/Lightning Helix/Chain Lightning

    All three are awesome and versatile cards. Creature removal or just hitting the opponent for 3. Great cards.

    Stoneforge Mystic

    Stoneforge Mystic is one of the main win conditions for this deck. It can be used to tutor/cheat in the equipment in the deck. Also has some synergy with Legion’s Initiative if you decide to include it. Not much to be said for this card, as everyone knows how great it is.

    Young Pyromancer

    The new 2-drop for red. This card works wonderfully in a deck with playsets of Bolt/Helix/Swords, etc., along with a bunch of ways to protect it (Mother of Runes, Boros Charm… which also nets you a token!). This card also gives you a bunch of equipment wielders. A couple of these on the board can really net a lot of virtual card advantage as well.

    Magus of the Moon/Blood Moon

    Because the deck only runs two colours, you can easily get away with playing either of these to control your opponent. Casting Silence first can help ensure one of these lands, and even just win the game for you.

    Silence

    Silence is a great card, both offensively and defensively. Use it to stall the opponent for a turn, while you create a better board position. This is also the deck’s best bet against combo decks.

    Swords to Plowshares/Path to Exile

    This one is entirely up to the player. Normally, Swords is considered the better of the two spells, but in a deck with a bunch of burn-type spells, one might choose Path. This deck often uses burn as great early removal, and so Path might be the better choice as they can be saved for later when mana’s less important. Swords is probably the better choice anyway, as this deck’s main use for burn is not to take out your opponent.

    Boros Charm

    Boros Charm has a lot of versatility. The mass protection for the tokens/creatures and double-strike with batterskull or Jitte is relevant enough that the card is more than just 4 to the dome. Creature protection and extra damage is exactly what this deck wants, not to mention more spells for Young Pyromancer. Awesome card.

    Equipment

    3 pieces of equipment are recommended, as this deck wants to use Stoneforge Mystics a lot. The choices of Batterskull and Umezawa’s Jitte are pretty standard. A Sword of Fire and Ice is probably the best choice for the final spot, but is also the most replaceable.

    Cards to consider

    This section is a work in progress.

    Legion’s Initiative

    This can be a sort of extra win condition for the deck, combined with Young Pyromancer. There should only be 1-2 of it in the deck, as a player should only be wanting to play it once a small army of tokens is on the board. Sensei’s Divining Top can help filter for these as well. It's the biggest maybe in the deck, and would probably be the first card to replace. However, you get 2 Pyromancers in play making tokens, and a sudden army of 2/1s can win a game just like that.
