Rafiq of the Many

Voltron Enchantments

Rafiq of the Many is the general of this enchantress style voltron deck. Enchantments fuel card draw and Rafiq swings in as the finisher with commander damage. If Rafiq becomes too expensive to recast, Bruna, Light of Alabaster serves as a secondary commander.

Main Voltron Strategy

Rafiq of the Many serves as the general of this deck. Enchant him with multiple enchantments and swing in for commander damage.

Voltron Enchantments

  • Rancor: provides Rafiq with much needed trample and is able to be repeated with its “return to hand” ability.
  • Favor of the Overbeing: With Rafiq being GWU, we get +2/+2, vigilance and flying from the Overbeing of Myths
  • Shield of the Oversoul: The Oversoul of Dusk gives us +2/+2, indestructible and flying.
  • Steel of the Godhead: And finally the Godhead of Awe gives us +2/+2, lifelink, and unblockable
  • Snake Umbra: Umbra’s are a great way to provide for both protection with Totem Armor and a boost. +1/+1 and card draw.
  • Bear Umbra: Totem Armor, +2/+2 and ramp.
  • Octopus Umbra: Totem Armor, base power 8/8, and a tap down effect.
  • Staggering Insight: Lifelink, +1/+1 and card draw.
  • Spectra Ward: +2/+2 and protection from all colors. Play AFTER you have attached other enchantment auras.
  • Eldrazi Conscription: The mach-daddy of auras. Major finisher with +10/+10, trample and annihilator 2.
  • Kestia, the Cultivatorfoil: Around mostly for the card draw, but has the ability to pump Rafiq by +4/+4

Exalted

Exalted serves as another boost within the deck to power up Rafiq.

Other Boosts

  • Archetype of Imagination: Provides evasion to get around pesky blockers and clears the skys.
  • Mirari's Wake: Static +1/+1 and ramp.
  • Heliod, God of the Sun: Mainly here for the Vigilance, but also provides blockers when Rafiq is tapped out.
  • Nylea, God of the Hunt: Much needed Trample to help get commander damage through. Can also pump Rafiq and extra +2/+2 and with his double-strike, comes in at +4/+4.
  • Thassa, God of the Sea: The scry 1 is nice, but the real reason for Thassa is the ability to grant unblockable.
  • Leyline of Anticipation: This card is just great for speeding up our gameplay and supporting the enchantress strategy.

Fuel the Voltron Strategy

Enchantress is the secondary strategy of the deck. Need to draw cards and ramp to get Rafiq out and power him up!

Card Draw

Ramp

Enchantment based ramp is preferred over land tutors, mana dorks, and mana rocks.

Tutors

Protection for our Enchantments & Creatures

Stax Pieces

Stax is a great way to keep others off of our back. Only a few stax pieces really help us out though.

  • Dueling Grounds: Since we are voltron, only attacking with one creature is desirable.
  • Stoic Angel: Similar to Dueling Grounds, we can attack with only one creature per turn and be fine.
  • Archetype of Imagination: Clear the sky’s of those pesky flyers.

Removal

Get other creatures out of our way so Rafiq can get in for commander damage. Enchantment based removal is used where possible.

A lot of recursion is needed to get those auras back if they are removed or Rafiq is returned to the commander zone.

Recursion

Bruna, Light of Alabaster serves as a secondary general if Rafiq has too high of a commander tax on it. When all else fails, one infinite combo exists in the deck as an alternate wincon.

Have Siona, Captain of the Pyleas in play and attach Shielded by Faith to her. This will create a Human Soldier 1/1 W, which you can then attach Shielded by Faith to it. Repete to have infinite tokens. Swing and defeat all enemies.
