Long_Con on Raggadragga Mana Saga

2 weeks ago

mrprofiteer I love it. Infinite Wurms, each one 7/7 bigger than the last! Finish off with a Finale of Devastation for 439 mana or so, and conquer the world!

I noticed you have Concordant Crossroads and Mass Hysteria as Haste enablers, among others, and I do see the appeal. I just have Rhythm of the Wild because it's just too good, and I'll often grab Xenagos, God of Revels as half my Tooth and Nail double-whammy.

I do think you could upgrade your lesser mana dorks though - Biophagus, Torgal, A Fine Hound, and even Bugenhagen, Wise Elder are much more functional than Whisperer of the Wilds, Zhur-Taa Druid, and even Radha, Heir to Keld, who I found was an underperformer.

I don't know what I would take out for Wurmcalling though. It would have to be something from the '7+CMC stuff' category... maybe Shriekwood Devourer?

Long_Con on Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss

Finally, a Raggadragga man who gets it! Power-scaling mana dorks and 7+CMC fatties! I made Raggadragga Mana Saga focused as tightly on that as I could, and it is a pleasure to play.

Couple of power-scalers I found: Cradle Clearcutter, Rainveil Rejuvenator, and newly-minted Mona Lisa, Science Geek! Also as far as regular mana dorks go, Biophagus is amazing, Torgal, A Fine Hound boosts Ragga or Heronblade, among others, Tender Wildguide is cute(!) and powerful, Spider Manifestation, Wandertale Mentor, Somberwald Sage, Bugenhagen, Wise Elder... all fantastic!

Long_Con on Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss

Raggadragga has recently become my favourite Commander of all time. My deck is Raggadragga Mana Saga, and it is focused on the best mana dorks and 7+CMC creatures. It consistently goes off with some insane fatties on turn 5-6, and it's an absolute pleasure to play. It's even bracket 3, no Game Changers.

I see you have an Elf Tribal thing going on, so the way you value mana dorks is different than mine. I do have a couple of elvish suggestions though, like Fyndhorn Elder, Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood (if you got some higher CMC cards going), and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds.

Non-Elf dorks I think are especially potent are Biophagus, Cradle Clearcutter, Heronblade Elite, Spider Manifestation, Mona Lisa, Science Geek, and others... but some of them are about my deck's goal.

To me, Ragga's greatest power is one you are not taking advantage of - the third ability! If you take a look at my deck, you'll see I did custom categories, check out the 7+CMC Stuff and tell me you don't want to slam those fatties down!

It's all about the power-scaling dorks, like Kami of Whispered Hopes, which you already have. Casting one 7CMC thing untaps them and grows them enough to cast the next, and the next, it's the funnest! :)

Also you can get an easy infinite damage combo with Fanning the Flames and one of them, or Temur Sabertooth and something like Summon: Bahamut or Terastodon.

Long_Con on Raggadraggamanadorka

Great to see another Raggadragga fan. I had a Wolverine voltron deck with a bunch of mana dorks, but then I saw Ragga and fell in love.

My deck is Raggadragga Mana Saga and I have done a lot of work in finding the most perfect mana dorks, like Biophagus, Fanatic of Rhonas, Tender Wildguide, and Torgal, A Fine Hound.

But the true insane power you can unlock in Ragga comes from power-scaling mana dorks. Heronblade Elite is one of the best for Ragga, also Kami of Whispered Hopes. I think there are 4 or 5 more. These allow a fantastically enjoyable combo with Ragga's third ability. You can even go infinite with something like Fanning the Flames with one of these guys and Ragga.

I have focused my deck on mana dorks and 7CMC+ cards (and damn I have some doozies). Last March of the Ents is almost too good with a power-scaler.

Mortlocke on Atraxa, Angel of New Phyrexia [Infect Primer]

2 years ago

UltimateRoxas40 i'm always glad to see another Atraxa build as there is always something to learn from someone else's ideas. You have a great primer that goes into great detail, but perhaps a bit too much detail. Instead of discussing every individual card choice, maybe highlight them as combo pieces? For example:

[[Ezuri, Claw of Progress + Forgotten Ancient]]

I think it would read a bit better and really highlight card combinations. I see that your deck really leans into the +1/+1 counters, have you considered Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, Branching Evolution, or maybe even Doubling Season? The first two have great synergy with a good number of cards already in the deck - the aforementioned Ezuri, Forgotten Ancient, Simic Ascendancy, Sword of Truth and Justice, and Biophagus just to name a few. I only mention Doubling Season because you mentioned you want to dip into the Incubate mechanic via Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos. Not only will you get double the tokens, but you also get double the +1/+1 counters placed on said artifact tokens.

When using cards cards like Pestilence, I find the filter lands come in handy: Twilight Mire.

Now you have a few options to upgrade Llanowar Dead: Ornithopter of Paradise, Llanowar Loamspeaker, Sanctum Weaver, Sylvan Caryatid, and Biophagus.
