Rocking the Way to Victory by Ravlinson

Format: Commander

Commander: Roxanne, Starfall Savant

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Gruul land-and-mountain-matters deck wrapped in a geology/paleontology theme. Roxanne, Starfall Savant is the central accelerator: each entry or attack creates a tapped Meteorite token that pings and, through her trigger, taps for two mana. The primary plan is to use that mana jump to cast oversized threats such as Borborygmos Enraged and Anzrag, then finish with combat plus land-based burn from Seismic Assault and Valakut. Secondary paths include landfall value from Toggo and Phylath and the copy ability of The Fire Crystal. It is a battlecruiser deck that wins by attrition, not by a compact combo.
