Notes:
I can use as much advice and as many suggestions as you can throw at me. This is my first real attempt at building an EDH deck. I know every build is different and unique but I want this to be competitive. I have not tested it out yet unfortunately. Thanks in advance!

Clifftop retreat, boros garrison, u don't need command tower in a 2 color deck boros guild gate and basically as many dual lands as u can get also reliquary tower and only skimmed the deck and looked mainly at the mana base but u could also throw in Grisela I probably butchered the name but the one that doubles ur damage and halves the damage u take also Akroma and the regular Gideon Jura is better than the new one

Timendy

O yea, I forgot about gisela. And I already hve command tower so I might as well keep it in its basically another dual land.

Do you think a boros key rune would fit in?

Weldrodson

I personally think that with all the huge creatures in edh the creature eff of the keyrune dosnt do much so te draw power of the clue stone is better but I personally like the signets from the original ravnica better

I agree. The signets are the way to go in EDH for most guilds. Only 2 mana for a {Boros Signet} as opposed to 3 for the {Boros Keyrune} or {Boros Cluestone}. The draw is okay for the Cluestone in EDH, because there is often a point in long EDH games when those mana rocks become useless and you no longer need them. The 1/1 double strike is not going to accomplish anything on his own, unless your deck was full of +1 counters, buffs, etc.

The only keyrunes that are worthwhile in EDH (in my opinion) are {Rakdos Keyrune} and {Dimir Keyrune}. Rakdos has 3 first strike, which can get in more often than you'd think. And Dimir's is unblockable, and goes so well with counters on it or cipher.

Timendy

Thanks. I didn't know signets were even cards aha. Ill definatly have to try it out. I went trough all the lands and I'm going to be ordering them here soon. Are there any creatures besides gisela and restoration angel that I'm missing?
Who's that one legendary creature from mirrodin that would spawn a soldier tapped and attacking everytime she attacked?

Tajic commander, maybe. He's... Difficult... To get rid of. Sometimes my opponents just scoop.

If a general assigns 21 or more combat damage to any one player the player loses the game.
