Long_Con on Raggadraggamanadorka

1 week ago

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.

Repulsive Mutation might be worth noting.

Evolution Witness also.

Kami of Whispered Hopes is probably an upgrade over Simic Signet.

Altered Ego is cute.

Terrasymbiosis seems amazing.

Hadana's Climb is worth noting too.

Tam, Mindful First-Year would be good. Ferrafor, Young Yew too.

Biomantic Mastery is almost always decent value.

Sodden Verdure and Rain-Slicked Copse are budget right now.

hyalopterouslemur on Which Mono-Color is the Most …

{U} has the best card draw, and as a consequence of early Magic's design philosophy (Basically, every color could do anything but some colors would suck at it; the exception is blue, which could even be demonstrably better at it than the color that's supposed to be best at that thing, e.g. Prodigal Sorcerer existing.) you can find a good card to do just about anything you want.

{G} has all the mana accel. People are surprised by mana dorks being so powerful, but do you doubt Bloom Tender or Devoted Druid or Kami of Whispered Hopes? In addition, green card draw can sometimes be even better than blue; I've drawn ten cards (and gained 12 life) off Shamanic Revelation before. (Which, I suppose I could do with Distant Melody, minus the lifegain.) Green also has the best recursion, and, yeah, green can tutor creatures; Birthing Pod, Chord of Calling and Green Sun's Zenith all exist.

{B} is next. It has the best tutors, including the only universal tutors in the game. (Yes, I know about Prototype Portal. Does anyone use Prototype Portal?) It has some good boardwipes, unlike green and blue. (Just put a Sword of Light and Shadow on one of your creatures and then activate Pestilence over and over.) While black's card draw leaves something to be desired—I still play Phyrexian Arena in Stax decks and practically nowhere else—the ability of black to pay life in exchange for things is at double strength in a 40-life format.

{W} is fourth. Basically, the only thing white has going for it is boardwipes, though experimenting with white card draw is nice; just remember, "once per turn" applies to your turns as well.

{R} is, to be candid, red doesn't really impress me at all. It has some boardwipes. some spot removal, but even when I'm playing multiple colors, it feels like I'm including red only because my Commander is red, and I want to justify having enough mountains to reliably cast from command zone.

I have replaced Aura ShardsGC and Commander's Sphere with Hopeful Initiate and Kami of Whispered Hopes, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.60 to 3.56, since the enchantment was simply too oppressive, and the newer cards work well with this deck's theme of +1/+1 counters.

Long_Con on Raggadragga, the boss

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?

Long_Con on Raggadragga, Earthbender

For me, the greatest benefit of Raggadragga is to get extremely powerful mana dorks like Heronblade Elite, Kami of Whispered Hopes, Marwyn, the Nurturer, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, and Cradle Clearcutter. I have a painstakingly selected group of mana dorks in Raggadragga Mana Saga deck, if you'd like to see. I think you can get more explosive power from these versus dorks like Palladium Myr and Leafkin Druid. Over and over, I was wowed by the quality mana dorks I found, like Trailtracker Scout or the adorable Tender Wildguide.

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.
