Bosh, Iron Golem

    This week's card is Bosh, Iron Golem, a legendary artifact creature from the original Mirrodin block.

 

    Bosh is basically a more powerful Brion Stoutarm. You pay mana, sacrifice a card, and your opponent loses life. The main difference is that while Brion Stoutarm revolves around creatures, Bosh revolves around artifacts.

      Bosh's effect isn't astounding, but it works well with both Esper's artifact theme and Selesnya's populate ability. But the thing is, Bosh works best with ridiculously high mana creatures like Draco. But even if you aren't going to use its effect, Bosh being a 6/7 with trample is helpful.

      In conclusion, Bosh, Iron Golem is a good creature, but its effect leaves something to be desired. But if in a pinch, you can sack Bosh with its own effect to deal 8 damage to your opponent.
