Long_Con on Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss

6 months ago

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.

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.

I just discovered Fanning the Flames, and I was going to come here to share it, but it's already in your sideboard!

With Ragga out, you can go infinite with this and something like Heronblade Elite or Kami of Whispered Hopes. Infinite damage for all!

Why isn't it mainboarded?

Just found this one: Fanning the Flames

Goes infinite with Ragga and a power-based (and multicolour) mana dork like Heronblade Elite or Kami of Whispered Hopes. Just need to cast it for 2 damage plus buyback to trigger the +7/+7 and untap, then you can do it again and again for greater damage each time.

Fanning the Flames reusable.

Thousand-Year Elixir and Thornbite Staff abuseable.

• You should replace Endless One with other ravenous creatures that have base power equal to their non-X costs (Mawloc is a 2/2 for 2, Hormagaunt Horde is a 1/1 for 1, Tyrant Guard is a 3/3 for 3). The only situation when Endless One is better than those others is when you have Unbound Flourishing. But you generally want to draw a card rather than have an extra power on an already big creature.
• You don't need to play 3 copies of both of your buyback spells, as multiple copies are quite useless. I suggest that you replace 1 Fanning the Flames with Comet Storm and 1 Wurmcalling with Gelatinous Genesis

Insurrection and Mob Rule. Rite of the Raging Storm

Anything that gives you an extra Attack phase will double your mana bonus

Earthquake can end the game, or Jaya's Immolating Inferno. Wurmcalling and Fanning the Flames are reuseable

I personally love my Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss deck. It's here: RaggaDragga Mana Dork/Land Creature Tribal In the description I list most of the combos that you can do with what I have in there but you can go many different ways with the deck. I really love the Fanning the Flames or Wurmcalling combos.
