i really really like this!! might use this as a starting point for my own deck! +1

only thing is Primeval Titan is banned =/

Sovereigns of Lost Alara is awesome in a Rafiq deck, so is Stonehewer Giant . They both can get your Commander suited up real nice for a fast and brutal kill. Shield of the Oversoul and Spirit Mantle are also deadly on Rafiq.

Here's How A Real Hero Gets It Done is my Rafiq deck, and it was lots of fun.

As this is a casual format, my playgroup has allowed Primeval titan in our games. Try the deck out, its really fun to play! But as long-con says, soverigns of Lost alara is a great card, good replacement for primeval titan if your play group doesnt allow it. i will post more updates as i refine the deck!

Sublime Archangel ?

What would I take out for it?

i would say Primeval Titan if it is indeed banned, otherwise perhaps Acidic Slime

(i am aware of your previous comment, i just enjoy the rules sorry lol)

haha, no worries. I will look into it! any other recommendations for this deck :o?

im a big fan of Celestial Mantle and ive seen it work well in a rafiq deck

I think Sylvan Primordial is banned in EDH format.

Thanks :) I just replaced it! Please let me know the new list looks!!

I playtested your deck against mine a couple times ( Hope you don't minde:)) and what I found was that your deck has a lot of trouble getting past chump blockers without a boardwipe. My deck is The God-blin King so i had a lot of tokens there to sit back and block while purphoros did his thing. I would suggest maybe Aqueous Form and/or Prowler's Helm or cards to that effect in order to make him unblockable. Just a thought. Other than that the deck looks good!

Is spectra ward not a good card to become unblockable??

Steel of the Godhead, Shield of the Oversoul, Favor of the Overbeing (I think), and Fleecemane lion.

Sovereigns of Lost Alara is so good!!!

I would replace any of your cards with Steel of the Godhead . It's the #1 Rafiq include.

It is good but i didn't draw it once, some more consistency in that area would be beneficial.

Unflinching Courage, Indrik Umbra, as well. Supply/Demand to hunt for Sovereigns, then just build up Rafiq

Well, Rhinowarrior, doesn't that hold true for each of the cards in the deck?

I'm trying to not only have just enchantments as win conditions guys, is spectra ward a bad card???

Ok I took out spectra ward and added Steel of the Godhead

Further updates made :)
