Dexter Rogsi Deck Tech

But you do have some finishes and sort of some accolades.

Why don't we go into the overall philosophy of the deck? So someone who understands CDH but has never played Rogsci, never maybe played against it, perhaps they live in an alternate dimension where this deck doesn't exist.

How would you explain what the overarching philosophy of this deck is and what its goals are? So ROG

Raxxai is essentially trying to be the fastest or most efficient turbo deck in the format.

So it's within that archetype of turbo where you're trying to present wins on turn one to three-ish with either a little bit of backup or no backup at all, and just try and take advantage of the early game where your opponents are trying to develop the resources and are not very likely to have interaction available for you.

So this deck casts Necro, casts Nause, casts Underworld Breach, on turns one and two and tries to push from there.

And most of the time it succeeds, but there's also a pretty significant backup plan of Rhystic Study, the best to go in the format.

And it does a very good job of that as well.

So basically, the deck

is trying to cast the broken three drops in the format, Necropotence and Rhystic Study

as early as possible.

And it can be divisive how you play the deck, but generally you're trying to push for wins early often and using the Rograkh, which allows you to have like Culling the Weak and Infernal Plunge and Phyrexian Tower as additional mana sources.

The free interaction that having a free commander provides, like Fierce Guardianship, the fucking Swat, and Flare Duplication especially, helps you

push

wins through

better

than

basically any other deck in that turns

one to three window.

Sweet.
