This deck is for the Rogue Master Brewer Competition 2018 #RMBDominaria2018
The deck is built around
Kamahl's Druidic Vow
and seeks to "go off" by ramping up to 8-9 mana and hitting 2-3 finishers off the top 6 or 7 cards. Ideally, X will equal 7, but 6 can do it if required.
To help smooth out the ability to cast cards from your hand that would otherwise be difficult to cast, we are including
Jodah, Archmage Eternal
to cast spells for WUBRG if needed. I considered using
Thran Temporal Gateway
, but it doesn't turn on the legendary rule for Kamahl, so decided on Archmage instead.
One of the key pieces that gives us some longevity in any aggressive or midrange matchup is
Tatyova, Benthic Druid
. The lifegain and card draw is wonderful and it really gets a lot of value off of
Hour of Promise
and
Grow from the Ashes
.
Evolving Wilds
also gets to double dip in Tatyova goodness and is great fun!
Still working on the side-board and currently
Sweltering Suns
is just about our only answer for aggressive decks, which is a rough matchup.
Control actually is a pretty good matchup as they just don't have enough answers for our multitude of finishers, especially if we resolve a Vow against them.
Midrange decks are our best matchup, as we just go bigger and wider than they can through the Vow.
One thing to note, is that this deck does not use any Kaladesh block cards as there aren't any decent legendary pay off cards that Vow can hit.
I've really enjoyed this deck and have had some success with it at my LGS.
