Rohgahh's Cocoa Pebbles

Commander / EDH RBW (Mardu)

I have a had long love affair with Enduring Renewal. This card invented combo and I have played and brewed with it since Ice Age. Enduring Renewal is almost as old as Magic itself. One of its most famous appearances was in Tony Dobson's, 1999 Extended pro deck dubbed "Cocoa Pebbles". This deck pays homage to that deck and includes many of the same cards. The problem these days is ER is expensive to cast made worse by double white, that said, Academy Rector is a neat way around this - get Rector, destoy'er with your altar and away you go. The drawback of binning drawn creatures is easy to avoid by not placing ER until you are ready to go off or using Ravos to get them back.

It's a basic Mardu competitive chassis with a win-con requiring you to find or dig for Enduring Renewal and an Altar (or Goblin Bombardment if you're feeling nostalgic), with Rohgahh in the command zone, you have all you need to go infinite. As far as Ravos, you get the colours you need to make this happen and a late game way around ER. Most of the cards are useful across other decks, and those that aren't are few and not all that expensive, making it a good transferable pile that you may be able to already come close to putting together if Mardu is your thing.

The combo is 6 mana, cheapest is (W)5 - Academy Rector and Altar of Dementia. It can win turn one with a magic land god hand, - Academy Rector, Altar of Dementia, City of Traitors, Mana Vault, Lotus Petal, Sol Ring. There are a few variants for this, pretty unlikely but still possible.

Notes for me, I'm old...

Key combo piece Enduring Renewal, cheat into play with Academy Rector and an altar, sac Rector for ER and then combo off with Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh.

Back up to ER is Yomiji, Who Bars the Way.

Other combo pieces;

The rest of the deck is mana and interaction. Plenty of cards require creature sac and work nice with Enduring Renewal. Much of the interaction benefits from your commander being out, so drop Rohgahh first turn.
