Sideboard


RAGGADRAGGA, GOREGUTS BOSS EDH PRIMER

This deck is a borderline cEDH deck filled with combos

[ MANA DORKS ]

Yes the usual suspects: Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender, Paradise Druid, Ilysian Caryatid, Sylvan Caryatid

The most important mana producing creatures for this deck are :

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds

Marywn, the nurturer

Heronblade Elite

Viridian Joiner

These are the most important because they tap for mana equal to their power. This is key to setting your combo off.


[ LANDS ]

All of the lands that turn into creatures gain benefit from Raggadragga as soon as they become creatures. They'll get +2/+2 and will untap when you attack with them. Pretty nice for lands that will still tap for mana and don't take up a non-land slot in your deck. The applicable lands for Red/Green are:

Inkmoth Nexus

Blinkmoth Nexus

Den of the Bugbear

Ghitu Encampment

Lair of the Hydra

Mutavault

Raging Ravine

Treetop Village

You may run all or none of these. My suggestion is to run AT LEAST Inkmoth Nexus, as you can turn it into a 10/10 (Infect) with Raggadragga and a 7+ spell.


[ SPENDING SEVEN ]

The most important part of the wording on this commander is the last paragraph, where it says, "Whenever you cast a spell, if at least seven mana was spent to cast it, untap target creature." Note that it does not state that your spell has to have a converted mana cost of seven. It simply states you have to spend 7 mana casting it. This opens the door for the use of X spells, buyback and kicker-type spells. It's more important to lean on these type of spells moreso than CMC 7+ spells, because you dont want to be crippled in the event of a boardwipe

The most important of these spells are :

Wurmcalling

Fanning the Flames

Reap the Past

Comet Storm

Green Sun's Zenith

Commune with Lava


[ COMBOS ]

  1. [INFINITE DAMAGE] Ragga + (Selvala / Heronblade) + Fanning the Flames How: With Ragga and Selvala/Heronblade on the table (no summoning sickness), Fanning in your hand. 7 or more mana on the table. Cast Fanning the Flames (with buyback) where X >= 2. You will have spent 7 mana on this spell. Raggadragga triggers, you untap Selvala/Heronblade and give it +7/+7. It now taps for 10! (+2/+2 from Ragga's static ability, +7/+7 from the trigger)
    You can now recast Fanning the Flames with buyback infinitely, untapping Selvala/Heronblade each time.

  2. [INFINITE MANA] Ragga + (Selvala / Heronblade) + Aggravated Assault + Any 7 mana spell Cast a 7 mana spell to buff up Selvala / Heronblade and now tap the mana creature for 7+ red, feeding Aggravated Assault and untapping all your creatures. Repeat for infinite mana.

  3. [INIFNITE MANA/CARD DRAW/LIFE GAIN] Ragga + (Selvala/Heronblade/Marwyn/Viridian) + Staff of Domination + Any 7 mana spell Same as above (#2). Cast a 7 mana spell to buff up the MVP mana creature, use the Staff of Domination to untap the creature, then to untap the Staff, repeat for infinite mana. Use the infinite mana to draw your deck

  4. [INFINITE ETB/DAMAGE] Grinning Ignus + Birgi, God of Storytelling + Impact Tremors/Outpost Siege With Birgi on the table, cast Grinning Ignus. Birgi creates (R). Use the floating (R) to activate Igus, returning him to hand and giving you (2)(R). Recast Ignus, repeat. Win. Also: Grinning Ignus + Birgi, God of Storytelling + Goblin Anarchomancer = Infinite red mana/ETB

  5. [INFINITE ETB/NON-LAND DESTRUCTION] Raggadragga + Selvala/Heronblade + Cloudstone Curio/Temur Sabertooth + Meteor Golem
