Rigo's Thousand Little Cuts by TrueConvictionMTG

Deck overview

This Bant tempo deck leverages Rigo, Streetwise Mentor and a suite of low-power, evasive creatures to generate massive card advantage. By deploying cheap, unblockable attackers on early turns, the deck consistently triggers card draw whenever it attacks multiple opponents. This steady flow of cards fuels a robust interaction package of cheap counterspells and protective instants, allowing the pilot to defend a growing army against opposing disruption. As the battlefield fills with small creatures, the deck transitions from chip damage to lethal pressure using asymmetric board wipes like The Battle of Bywater and Dusk // Dawn, which eliminate large threats while leaving the low-power board untouched. The deck closes games using overrun effects like Mirror Entity and Biomass Mutation, toughness-based damage from Bedrock Tortoise, or alternate win conditions like Strixhaven Stadium. It presents a resilient, proactive combat engine that outpaces opponents through sheer card velocity.
