Deck discussion for Boros Control

There's some newer ideas that can be implemented in a build like this if you're interested in modernizing it a bit. I do miss the old Stuffy days.

What ideas did you have for modernizing it?

Right now you've got three themes going: stuffy death, isochron burn, and isochron lockdown. Realistically, all three of these could be their own builds, so my main suggestion is to cut at least one of them out to free up space for more support and consistency. Isochron and stuffy have very little natural synergy, as any burn damage you could throw at stuffy through scepter could just be directed at opponent directly. If you're using isochron lockdown as a means of searching out stuffy and his otk with extinction, that could be achieved about as well by just using another isochron and a burn spell for consistent damage, as you'd be netting 3 damage a turn as opposed to waiting 5-10 turns to get the pieces of the combo you need for the otk, which would be 15-30 isochron damage anyway.

That being said, if you want to keep the core of the deck as is, I'd recommend cutting curse of the pierced heart, as it's too slow and doesn't combo with anything other than as a slow win con when hooked up with isochron lockdown. Boros charm and deflecting palm have the same idea, as they are unnecessary for stuffy and just act as burn damage. You'd be better off with good ol Lightning Bolt and Incinerate which act as removal as well as damage to the face. There's nothing fancy about them, but they'll keep you alive if you need them to clear critters, and they'll kill opponent on a scepter if you need a win condition. I'd also recommend Sweltering Suns to help keep you alive, and the cycling ability is always useful if you don't need it.

24 lands with no fetches also seems pretty high. I know you want 7 lands for your otk, but the rest of the build can survive off of 2. I'd recommend cutting 3 rugged prairie, 3 elegant parlor and 4 clifftop retreat and adding in 4 Arid Mesa and 3 Windswept Heath. That'll help thin the deck, still has color fixing, and has the fantastic turn 1 surveil combo by fetching your remaining elegant parlor (if you don't need to play anything), which actually gives you 8 chances at a turn 1 surveil instead of just 4, while helping thin the deck and so forth.

Just some ideas, I'm assuming this isn't trying to be modern legal, as the core of the deck is enlightened tutor, which isn't legal in modern.

Thanks for your feedback. I would like to have a version of this deck that's modern legal as well. Thanks for your help.
