Be the threat at the table and threaten an early win with turbo Ad Nauseum with fast mana or a sacrificed rograkh. Sometimes you do nothing though.

Nothing too different than most lists here. Friend asked for feedback on their deck, this is what I'm recommending. Go for fast Ad Nauseam and do Underworld breach Brain Freeze and Thassa's Oracle combo.

Tactical opponents will usually mulligan to stax like Rule Of Law or Deafening Silence so try to out them or go faster than those players. Winds of change is there for those cases. Rograkh Silas is basically a draw the out commander.

Rograkh is used for sacrifice, rituals mox amber fodder, and free cast with commander cards. Silas Renn gets colors and occasionally gets the artifacts back out.

Rograkh is banned in many alternative EDH formats for good reason. I had a RogSi main player describe this as basically the statistically best deck that can win on t1 and t2 (outside maybe Godo Helm), and I don't deny it. Calculated, The chance in both cases is less than 1/3000 chance though, but I've pulled it off (and also lost more often than I've won).

For the math nerds, Rogsi is actually the stastically best t1-t2 win deck. Godo needs to rush out fast mana and treasonous ogre, which i guestimated wrongly at between nCr C(98, 2) = 4753 and nCr C(98,3) = (152096) ) x2 to account for lands. RoSi is a 97 card deck (with gitaxian probe thinning one card) and needs ad nauseum, 1 of 10 rituals OR one of the 10 fast mana sources and 2/26 lands. That is around 1/3500. It's also less because of the tutors. 5-6 tutors. It's still pretty low though...

I just hate the principle of this deck so much.

:(

Combos from worst to best:

• Wishclaw Talisman + Opposition Agent Smarter opponents won't take the bait.

• Praetor's Grasp to steal Dockside Extortionist or Thassa's Oracle or even an Ad Nauseam. Often I just exile the one card certain decks need to win: Magda's clock of omens, tivit's time seive, sisay's emiel the blessed etc. depends on game/game state. Thassa's Oracle is the best choice.

• Wheel of Fortune / Timetwister + Orcish Bowmasters / overloaded Cyclonic Rift can usually slow certain opponents enough. It's highly unlikely to get this though.

• Wheel of Fortune / Timetwister + Notion Thief will usually cause opponents to concede within 2 turns.

• Underworld Breach + Grinding Station + Mox Opal or Chrome Mox or any 2 zero drop mills all opponents or gets everything to get the above two combos.

• Underworld Breach + Brain Freeze + Lion's Eye Diamond mills all opponents or use Lotus Petal to mill yourself and get thoracle

• Thassa's Oracle with a milled library , underworld breach, tainted pact / d consultation. Hold those counterspells and pray no split second cards come on stack.
