Hi All,

So if you couldn't tell by the title, this deck's inspiration is My Hero Academia. Everything I've added I've tried to keep in-theme unless absolutely necessary. I'm going to go through the card inspirations/flavor first, then get into what I'm looking for as far as improvements go. So if you don't care about the flavor, scroll on down!

Because I'm Here (Rafiq): Rafiq is my "All Might" in this deck. It goes without saying that I want this card to be the main wincon. With each game I would like to use a mix of Aura, Stax, and Exalted if possible. So keep that in mind when thinking of suggestions because I really do want that represented in the deck.

One For All (Exalted & Auras): From what I've seen, the optimal build for Rafiq entails many Auras and few Exalted creatures. For my deck I've switched that around as I really like the Exalted mechanic for flavor reasons. When building this deck I had in mind that the Exalted cards were to represent the All For One spark jumping around to different users. The Aura cards on the other hand are just the other side of this same coin and represent that power infused into All Might or Deku.

Crushing Presence (Stax): For this deck I also wanted to include representation for All Might's crushing presence to his foes. So cards listed with "Stax" were my attempt at adding in this flavor. I know these cards can be really powerful in a deck like this one though so I'm open to more.

Deku (Bruna): We all know Bruna is the real Aura commander but for my deck I just have her in as a secondary WinCon if I can't get Rafiq to work. So yeah, if All Might gets the crap kicked out of him, Deku can come along and "inherit" One for All.

Ramp, Utility, Protection, Recursion, Card Draw, Etc.: Honestly none of these cards really have any flavor reason (Even though I could think some up if I wanted to stretch it even more than I am). I've simply included these as I thought they are what the deck needed to actually function in a 4-5 person table.

Suggestions: So I feel like I have a good start with this deck but that it could use a lot of tweaking and work. Keeping the below in mind, I'm really happy to receive any feedback whatsoever! Any help you guys can throw my way would be really appreciated!

• I want to get the deck as "High Powered" as possible under my parameters/theme

• I want to the Exalted mechanic to be more represented than the Aura mechanic (still open to suggestions)

• Even though I'm keeping in theme, I really want to be able to still interact with my opponent's boards with removal and whatever else I can cook up in a limited capacity.

• Open to any and all changes, especially if you see concerns with my manabase, not using a "strictly better" version of another card, too much of a cardtype I don't need, etc.

• Especially interested to see if any suggestions are made using the new C18 cards.

• When making card suggestions please also include suggestions of cards to cut.

Thanks for taking the time to read through this and thanks for your help!
