Okay so I was wanting to build something a little different than my usual Combo Wombo decks, and while I like Purphoros, I was wanting something a little less aggressive. (As purphy get me massive hate early game, i get him out early and then i am public enemy number one)
So I thought about it and looking through my EDH box found my Swords of X and Y. Decided to go with a voltron general, and in my opinion, Rafiq is the best. (Well Kemba and Isamaru are also good picks but Rafiq give access to blue.)
Anyway this deck can be modified for mutiplayer or French by the chnage of ONE card (Sol Ring) Simply switch that out for an equipment and this deck is good for French.
Everything is sorted by mana cost then Alphabetically
It is one of my more expansive decks, in fact the most expensive i have ever built next to Arcum Dagsson. (But luckily I owned most of the cards prior to construction, so it did not cost to much. Really only about 10 cards were in need of purchasing. Like rafiq himself.)
So that is the deck. It's pretty simple to pilot, put stuff on creatures and swing big. Swiftfoort Boots, Lightning greaves and Whispersilk Cloak makes it so things like Maze of Ith cannot stop you. Sword of X and Y stop colors from hurting and trample breaks through a lot of stuff. There are exalted triggers and with Sublime Angel you may be getting really big. Rafiq offer's double strike, Blighted Agent can kill with Infect (and many games he has) Then you have Puresteel and Leoonin which makes shuffling Equipment fun. Their little combo can actually often protect against anything barring a board wipe if you have the right equipment out. Stonehewer and Stoneforge tutor for stuff and cheat them out.
So that is what i have, I know I need better equipment but for now it works. (And all swords stay, Body and mind may suck, but it has won me games thanks to my meta being Blue and Green Heavy)
