Boros Energy floods the board with cheap threats like Ocelot Pride, Guide of Souls, and token generators, so Wrath of the Skies is a premium sweeper that can wipe their whole board for a reasonable energy investment. Force of Despair punishes their haste-heavy starts by blowing up everything that entered this turn, often after a Ragavan dash. White Orchid Phantom flies over their ground creatures and can strip a nonbasic land, while also blocking Ragavan and other early threats. Trim slower value cards like Faithful Mending and the graveyard-reliant Emperor of Bones/Persist package since this matchup is a race decided by board sweeps and efficient blockers rather than grindy card advantage.
