Great deck list! I would include Some haste enablers so rograkh can do his thing to turn he comes down. I’ve built a voltron greven deck and it’s all about haste and one shot kill attacks. Would do similar mean things here.
Love the hipster "I'm not using swords.." lol. The deck is genius, a running joke I say when I play is "I only have one speed" gotta fully commit to the glass cannon. I'm really excited to make commander decks and to spice up the 99 of a few decks
Im personally making a similar list with Akiri and Ardenn instead, simply because I like my Voltron commanders to be good blockers as well. Ardenn is nuts!
This is a sweet deck list, I've built this deck recently and am looking for some good cards to slot in that I might've missed. A card I think is really good for this deck, is chance for glory. Gives you that option to just sneak that win in before anyone can do anything else.
One more card I think is incredibly powerful in this deck is Treasonous ogre, which is 4 cmc, and let's you pay 3 life to add red mana, if you can use it to bring out a jeska, thrice reborn (3x damage) and a kediss emberclaw familiar (damage to everyone) and another equipment you can use amost all your life as a resource, and swing in for one very powerful turn and win. It's a lot of fun.
I agree with others about haste enablers. It may be just my play group but I've experienced A LOT of single target removal, so getting Rograkh out turn 1 immediately puts a target on you, regardless if it's 0/1 at the time. I prefer the build up method, cast Ardenn and Rograkh same turn and swinging in for sneaky damage. There really is no benefit of getting Rograkh out Turn 1 since he's zero cost anyways (other than summoning sickness if you don't have haste) so you might as well wait it out and get others to waste their cards on your opponents
i love this deck and loved your strong showing in the match. Are you finding the two recruiters are pulling their weight? I feel like there are already so many tutors available that these guys aren't needed. What are your most common targets? I like the idea of tutoring Puresteel as a way to tutor an "equip: 0" ability, but we have that in the Command Zone anyway. It's not a budget concern (I own one of each recruiter), but I don't often have enough mana to tutor for three, then play a two-drop, then do something else. Just curious. That's not at all a knock on you or the deck. One card that I'm really loving in this deck is Jeska's Will. I've been burned by giving other people cards with WoF enough times and I appreciate three cards and a mana burst. I will never get tired of cheating Colossus Hammer's equip cost.
listen I'm gonna be honest if you're playing mana crypt there is no reason you can't afford a sword of feast and famine or fire and ice. Also cut batterskull it just doesn't work in commander as well as other equipment. As someone who's played Sram for years I can attest that as the Voltron player you need every edge you can get in a pod game.
You monster! But if you can close out the game in short order, I think it's the type of strategy that gives white a better shot in EDH! It's when it's used to buy time and slow down opponents that it gets a bad rap!
@@TheTrinisphere ahahahah well my thought process was ramping as much as I can and once I get enough equipments on the battlefield I don't need much to close out the game. The Armagedon just helps me strip my opponents from having answers and playing threats. I built a mono red Rogragh/Jeska and I know how quick it can take someone out of the game but I didn't have many answers in just mono red so I turned to Boros and now it's funnier to play with Rograkh
There’s already a bunch of deck tech vids for Rograkh/Ardenn. But this one is buy far the most helpful.
Ive been playing Ardenn and Numa joraga chieftain counters equipment at my local gamestore and its always fun and pretty strong

looking forward to building my version of this also.
A while ago I was thinking about building a Zurgo Bellstriker edh deck. I'm glad I waited!
Just made this deck yesterday pretty cool
I’m building this and throwing in the kaldra pieces .

Personaly would add the Raiz board wipe and a few retrive spells
no open the armory? otherwise sick looking deck! rograhk plus mox amber is nutty

Start at 100% and then accelerate.
No embercleave?
What does Imperial Recruiter get?
Stoneforge mystic is an option
Leonin Shikari

Aurelia is a beast in this deck! I easily kill 2 opponents in a turn
Vorrac battlehorns

Am I a bad person for putting Armageddon in this deck? 😅

Commander decks with "modern" gameplans, are dull, boring and ruin the format.
Thats modern hammertime, with a singleton limitation.
