Deck list challenge
Okay, to celebrate Commander 2015, I had made an commander card that is Boros colored (Red, White). Here it is
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/irenothos-raid-commander.
I just want you to come up with a deck list that uses this card effectively. The rules here for this challenge is simple. Know all of the commander rules, and the deck must not be fun ruining. Also, you can create your own cards for this. The maximum number of custom cards is 20. For the rest of the existing cards, please link them so I can see what the card does. This challenge ends at November 11, 2015. I had made it this long because making a commander deck can be time consuming. Also, for the custom cards, please post them first so I can check to see if hey are acceptable.
I hope you enjoyed this challenge and lets begin.

The idea here is to abuse Irenothos' +3/+0 and haste as hard as humanly possible. With all your token machines churning out 4/1s, your two-drops turning into 5/2s with double strike, and the variety of block deterrents available to the deck, and games should be over quickly. The deck has no defense against flying creatures, but it doesn't really need it: murder is the best defense.
Yes, I did. I'm not sure what you mean by 'frustration'; it's effective, but all decks should be. It's not an Eye of the Storm/Scrambleverse deck, which I would count as legitimately frustrating.

Fun Fact: Raccoons HATE squirt guns. We went camping once, and raccoons invaded our campsite when we went on a hike. We came back and tried to chase them off, but they were reluctant to leave. On a whim, I squirted one with water and they all bolted. From that moment on, we had the best campsite ever! SuperSoakers Rule!!

I'm too lazy to describe the role of cards like Beeswax did,
But I hope you understand the main concept by these two cards

+ Vigilance ability of commander
And I know the deck tech now. It is basically TAP TAP TAP and Attack for fatal.
