"I use him as the Commander in my EDH with Concerted Effort, Sword of Vengence, and a lot of first strike and double strike RW creatures. Use Stoneforge Mystic, Quest for the Holy Relic, and other white creatures to search for SoV, Quietus Spike, or Sunforger. Sunforger can then get me Day of Judgment or Wrath of God if I need it. Among other uses."

Read Sunforger again, twice if need be.
Anywhoo, I want to try to kill people with Brion, he seems hilarious, even though his fling damage does not count as general damage for the 21, it must be dealt in combat. Cards like Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and Kaervek the Merciless made it so it had to be changed to combat damage. It was mostly Niv's fault, but he's still my favorite general. (@ SarpNasty)
I might even have to throw Brion at someone with a Bloodshot Cyc... (see all)

I'm now going to base a new EDH on the Five Man Band, if you're familiar with TV Tropes!
The Hero: Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran
The Lancer: Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer
The Big Guy: This guy, also (oddly) my general.
The Smart Guy: Darien, King of Kjeldor
The Chick: Kemba, Kha Regent
Token Evil Teammate: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
Sixth Ranger: Hokkori, Dust Drinker (bring her out on my turn, then pop her on the turn before my next turn)

My friend made an EDH deck around this fellow. He uses a slew of red temporary-creature-theft stuff, attacks you with your own guys, and then throws them at your face. It's stylish, hilarious, and effective without being overpowered, but still incredibly demoralizing; you don't get excited putting out powerful stuff against a deck like that. The Mimeoplasm lives in fear of Brion Stoutarm.

Just wondering.
If you can get a lightning elemental to attack and not get blocked, after combat, could you tap Brion Stoutarm and throw the elemental for a total of 12 damage to the enemy player in addition to 6 health for yourself?
:0 ?

He's my EDH general. He's very mean with Phyrexian Processor.

He is kind of a godsend in EDH, being the only Boros general option which doesn't care about combat whatsoever.

The thought of Brion Stoutarm throwing a Mother of Runes at the opponent is quite disturbing.
On the other hand, throwing a Little Girl sounds like fun.

Templar314, while Lorwyn I guess must seem old to new players that started between Shards of Alara and Scars of Mirrodin, the REAL Classics of the Commander Precons are the RAVNICA cards.

maybe throwing Serra Avatar and Malignus will be fun, i think ?? . top it up with Gratuitous Violence or Gisela, Blade of Goldnight. it will hurt a lot..... or use Threaten,Traitorous Instinct or Conquering Manticore. any same effect just to grab your friend's creature and fling it back to him/her.
