Nonartifact spells you cast have improvise. (Your artifacts can help cast those spells. Each artifact you tap after you're done activating mana abilities pays for .)

Hey, now that you've changed to these partner Commanders instead of Radha consider replacing cards that were good with Radha with cards that are good with Rocks and good with the Bounce land combo?

Radha is a good attacker, Toggo isn't. Now you lack a good attacker from the Command Zone therefore some cards that help Radha attack or get benefits from attacking could be cut.

• Guildless Commons --> Skarrg, the Rage Pits
• Reckless Fireweaver --> Explorer's Scope
• Valakut Exploration --> Prowler's Helm
• Quicksmith Genius --> Unleash Fury
• Inspiring Statuary --> Rancor
• Heroic Intervention --> Sword of the Animist

Exploration and Quicksmith are draw engines with the Bounce land combo to find a win condition. Statuary turns Rocks into mana rocks for ramp.

---

Omnath, Ashaya, Quartzwood, Ulvenwald, Rampaging, Moraug, Thunderfoot, Multani is a large package of high CMC creatures. You don't really need any more then these because others aren't going to be as good for the mana cost and you also have 6 CMC Kodama. My advice is cut several 5 CMC or higher creatures for lower CMC support cards.

• Sol Ring --> Hydra Omnivore
• Ramunap Excavator --> Rampaging Brontodon
• Crop Rotation --> Hamletback Goliath
• Expedition Map --> Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer
• Tireless Tracker --> Kamahl, Fist of Krosa
• Eternal Witness --> Ghalta, Primal Hunger
• Scute Swarm --> Chandra's Ignition
• Valakut Awakening  ^Flip --> Undergrowth Champion
• Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip --> Oran-Rief Hydra

Crop and Map are one drops that can tutor for a Bounce land for the combo. Excavator has interaction with DFC cards that have a land on the backside since you can play them land face up onto the battlefield from your graveyard. Wildborn, a Bounce land or Multani can then bounce the DFC back to your hand to cast the spell again.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, well done with your budget version of these partners.

Quicksmith Genius is a repeatable draw source with Rocks. With Toggo you can cycle through your library to find a Bounce land and win condition. Valakut Exploration is lots of card advantage with landfall. These cards with the Bounce land combo lets you draw your entire library for no mana cost to find a win condition.

• Quicksmith Genius > Seer's Sundial
• Valakut Exploration > Armorcraft Judge

Inspiring Statuary turns Rocks into ramp. Cinder Glade, Game Trail and Sheltered Thicket are playable budget Gruul lands. Glade and Thicket are dual lands that Three Visits, Nature's Lore, Farseek, Wood Elves, Skyshroud Claim, etc. can search for. Naya Panorama and Jund Panorama are other Fetch lands.

• Inspiring Statuary > Kuldotha Forgemaster
• Cinder Glade > Gruul Guildgate
• Game Trail > Rugged Highlands
• Sheltered Thicket > 1x Forest
• Naya Panorama > 1x Forest
• Jund Panorama > Radiant Fountain

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Help me power up Toggo//Vial Smasher Burn

Hey, good start, but without an infinite combo you should forget about trying to get to power level 8 because 8+ level decks win with infinite combos. Without an infinite combo then power level 6-7 is the highest level you should go for. Not having black's powerful tutors or Fetch lands are other reasons the power level isn't higher. With DFC you only count the front side of the card in the decklist, the backside is not added. For example Shatterskull Smashing  ^Flip goes in the decklist, but Shatterskull, the Hammer Pass doesn't.

My advice is if you want to make a good Rakdos Toggo deck than build around Rocks. Take more advantage of Rocks to get more value out of them. Cranial Plating fueled by Rocks combos with Chandra's Ignition and Fling effects to kill your opponents with burn. Inspiring Statuary and Rocks can make a lot of ramp for Comet Storm or Exsanguinate.

• Reckless Fireweaver
• Ghirapur AEther Grid
• Quicksmith Genius
• Valduk, Keeper of the Flame
• Hammer of Nazahn
• Fabled Passage
• Jund Panorama
• Grixis Panorama
• Guildless Commons
• Great Furnace
• Vault of Whispers

Some other cards to consider adding:

• Red Elemental Blast
• Chandra, Torch of Defiance
• Valakut Exploration
• Heartless Hidetsugu
• Torbran, Thane of Red Fell
• Manabarbs
• Price of Progress

Good luck with you deck.

Hell yeah! I’m building a similar deck soon. Check out Sly Requisitioner, Mimic Vat, Inspiring Statuary, Tidy Conclusion, Underhanded Designs, and Disciple of the Vault

I love the value plays here! I’ve been trying to figure out which partner to put with toggo, and this is now a close contender.

Inspiring Statuary can get you some mana before sacking rocks, and Thaumatic Compass  ^Flip is slow but can ensure land drops for rock drops.

These are less competitive suggestions per say but they sound fun. There’s polymorph shenanigans with Reality Scramble and Dreamshaper Shaman, and with a decent board of artifacts Indomitable Creativity and Saheeli's Directive!

Next step is card-draw and card-advantage. Unfortunately, the Boros colors are the worst at drawing cards. Graveyard recursion is a type of card advantage, so Colfenor's Urn can count. I've never seen that card before! Nice find and good instincts!

Here are some options for you.

First up, the cards I own that I'm willing to part with:

Seer's Sundial - Staff of Nin - Farsight Mask - Key to the City - Infiltration Lens - Mask of Memory - Tome of Legends - Outpost Siege - Khorvath's Fury - Humble Defector - Chandra, Flamecaller - Magus of the Wheel

---

Cards I don't have that you should consider:

Tectonic Giant is mandatory! He's so good! Protector of the Crown is on-theme too--highly recommend.

Bonders' Enclave would be worth picking up, I think.

Browbeat - Loreseeker's Stone - Arcane Encyclopedia - Vance's Blasting Cannons  ^Flip - Ignite the Future - Reforge the Soul - Wheel of Fate - Mind's Eye (used to be the gold-standard! Very mana-inefficient though) - Icon of Ancestry (interesting choice since it has the anthem) - Rogue's Gloves - Well of Lost Dreams (great choice with your commander!) - Coveted Jewel (ramp and draw! Unreliable and mana-expensive, but chaotic and fun!) - Mangara, the Diplomat - Runehorn Hellkite - Dragon Mage - Knollspine Dragon - Herald's Horn - Endless Atlas (a bit suspect in two-color decks unless your colors are very skewed or you have lots of Renegade Map-type cards) - Bag of Holding - Arch of Orazca - Geier Reach Sanitarium - Mazemind Tome

---

Underworld Breach, Sunbird's Invocation, and Stolen Strategy might count as card-advantage, should you feel jaunty. Stolen Strategy is definitely a fun card and get you fodder for Brion's throwing.

Howling Mine + Inspiring Statuary is kinda funny. Probably not worth it though.

Ghirapur AEther Grid, Whir of Invention, and Inspiring Statuary help you put the unused tokens to even more use, Unwinding Clock is useful for getting them untapped to keep the train moving!
