Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Each of the creatures in this deck have a little extra power to
offer for their cost. That comes in handy when you start whipping them
at opponents in the late game. The Oath replenishes your stock of
fodder, while Downhill Charge is a nice way to ramp up the power of
whatever you fling. Dross Scorpion can give you a nice finesse play as
you get more mana - Bosh can fling the Scorpion (or another artifact
creature), and then untap to fling something else.
The Shattering Pulses are in there because we're in a new age, people.
Rare replacement: Oath of Ghouls and Oversold Cemetery are fairly
interchangeable. Haunted Crossroads will be slower but has its own
charms. (Don't try to use the Crossroads and the Oath in the same deck;
they'll work against each other. Use one path or the other.) You can
replace Ball Lightning with any turn three creature with haste - Shivan
Raptor, Suq'ata Lancer, whatever. The Monkey Cage is just a funny,
flexible tool - Bosh can fling the cage, or the Cyclops can fling the
monkeys (please, no emails). Anyway, you can replace that card with
whatever tickles your fancy. Finally, the Clockwork Dragon is just
something strong in the air - you can use any dragon or other hefty
flyer you happen to have.
There are certainly more ways to toy with Bosh's capabilities. Two of
the more intriguing possibilities involve Thran Forge or Ashnod's
Transmogrant, artifacts I'm a bit surprised didn't make it into
Mirrodin. (Each would have to be under a different name, of course, for
flavor reasons.) But the good folks at Wizards can't think of everything
all at once, and it's not like it's impossible for us to go out and find
them - they're hardly chase rares. (In fact, they're not rare at all.
Don't pay more than $1.50 for the uncommon Forge, and get the Fifth
Edition common Transmogrant reprint for 25 cents, at any reputable local
dealer or online store. The Forge is better, since Bosh can fling it for
a Lightning Bolt.)
