This is a Roon deck I put together after my Brago deck (originally intended for value/blink shenanigans) turned into a much more competitive Stax/Combo deck. I really missed blinking and it's usefulness in tons of situations combined with the bonus value you can get from ETB effects. That's where Roon came in. This deck is specifically built to play differently every game, it all depends on what ETBs you happen to draw. The wincon generally comes from abusing one of the more powerful ETBs in the deck or with a Craterhoof or Stampede. The key player in this deck is Seedborn Muse , which lets you use Roon's ability 4 times a round instead of once. This causes cards with even marginally decent value to become stupidly strong. Farhaven Elf is nice, fetches you a land. Have Roon and Muse out? Now you're adding in 4 lands every round (if you want) and out-ramping EVERYBODY at the table. Your options are endless. I've also learned that this deck can be a ton of fun to play politically. When you have ETBs that nuke any permanent on the battlefield and a few ways to blink them you can get a lot of favors :)
