Deck overview

This Naya midrange deck is commanded by Rocco, Street Chef, turning exile-casting triggers into a steady stream of +1/+1 counters and Food tokens. The deck accelerates in the opening turns with efficient mana dorks and low-cost ramp, enabling an early Rocco deployment. Once assembled, the engine generates continuous card advantage and resource velocity through cards like Academy Manufactor, Peregrin Took, and Jaheira, Friend of the Forest. The primary route to victory relies on swarming the board with tokens from Pia Nalaar, Consul of Revival, Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald, and Scurry Oak, converting those tokens into lethal combat damage using Beastmaster Ascension or burn damage with Ingenious Artillerist and Impact Tremors. Additionally, the deck packs an infinite combo in Rosie Cotton of South Lane paired with Scurry Oak or Basking Broodscale. While vulnerable to mass sweepers, the deck leverages recursion and dense card flow to maintain strong mid-game momentum.
