One card that I see missing in a blink deck is Ghostway one of the best team blink spells ever. It is cheap and helps clear your team away before someone wipes the board at instant speed too.

Also besides Deadeye Navigator, Flickerform does the same thing but in enchantment form and white, so you don't have all the blink stuff jammed into the same color.

Coinman1863 You da mvp. Seriously though, thank you a lot. I was about to give you a shoutout on my Lazav deck but by that point you already commented here too. Thanks so much for your input (and also for being the first comment on this deck)!

Ghostway is amazing. I would have definitely picked it up when I grabbed the rest of the cards, but I had dropped $80 at the time, and for being a college student an extra $10 at the time was a bit too much for me. Next time I go to my LGS I'll probably grab a copy because I feel like that's one of the key cards this deck is missing.

Flickerform was a card I playtested before I added in 20 or so cards and wasn't that impressed. To be fair, that was back when I was switching Roon interchangeably with Derevi and had much less ETB effects. I'll give it another try because I can't complain about more blink.

I like what I see. Have you considered Brago, King Eternal?He literally lives (dies..?) to blink stuff. +1 :) I've really been wanting to make a Blink EDH, but I just can't settle on Colors.. Sigh~ If only Brago was :P

JamesAzimuthPHD I have considered Brago, King Eternal SO MANY TIMES. Every time I think I want him, I decide I don't. After I decide I don't want him, I think about how good he would be in this deck.

Brago is one of those cards I just really have to playtest. His effect is absolutely amazing and would be the all-star of my deck if he was consistent. The fact that he has to do combat damage to trigger his effect rather than entering the battlefield (or even just attacking), means that he can either win me the game or just be a dead card. Having a 2/4 flier is good enough in its own regard, but if I can't ever use his ability I don't know if he's worth a deck slot.

...but if he was bant I would almost definitely use him as my commander and build evasion cards around him (like rogue's passage). :(

Thanks a lot! I'll try and grab a copy of him for playtesting soon!

Cool, he's not expensive at all, money-wise. A few other cards that I've thought of:

Act of Authority

Ichor Wellspring

Spine of Ish Sah

Devout Lightcaster

Sudden Disappearance

Cloudshift

Just some ideas. These are all cards I've thought of for my own Brago EDH. I've never really considered the whole 'has to deal combat damage' thing a huge drawback. Though, I'm running cards like Rogue's Passage and Aqueous Form. As well as things that duplicate his ability.. (Strionic Resonator & Illusionist's Bracers come to mind) Also, if he was my Commander, I could just keep re-casting him if people don't like him.

..but yeah, I dunno. I really want to throw Brago triggers on stuff like Ashen Rider, Massacre Wurm, Magister Sphinx, Sphinx Summoner, etc...

JamesAzimuthPHD Yeah! that's why I definitely want to at least give him a try!

As far as the cards you listed, you really make me wish Brago was in Bant colors again =(. lol

The "problem" with Roon is that he can only really work with creatures. So cards like Spine of Ish Sah, Act of Authority, and Ichor Wellspring I don't really have a way of using.

The other 3 cards however, I love, but don't know if I can find a place for them! I originally had Cloudshift in here but I replaced it with Momentary Blink. Sudden Disappearance is another card I considered but declined on the basis of mana cost; but it might just be another card I need to playtest. Finally, Devout Lightcaster is a card that looks really good, but 3 devotion is pretty steep in a tri-color deck and it's kind of useless against anything but black decks. If I had a sideboard it would be a definite include, but for now I don't have a sideboard for any of my decks yet because none of my playgroup plays with one.

I feel your pain... those would be amazing with Brago.

My last suggestion (I promise), is Sundial of the Infinite. If my knowledge of rules is somewhat correct, you can blink a creature with Roon, and then instantly end the turn with Sundial; skipping the End Step and leaving that creature in Exile permanently.

Rules Mumbo-Jumbo: I believe this is the case due to the fact that the reminder text states "Exile all abilities on the stack". Roon's ability that states, "Return that creature to the battlefield..." is a latent ability that stays on the stack until EoT when it resolves. Sundial, however, Exiles the ability before it resolves and, BOOM! Roon is happy; opponent is not.

JamesAzimuthPHD Haha, don't ever worry about suggesting/commenting too much. I'd rather have an unrated deck with 1000 comments than a deck with 1000 points and no comments :).

WHAT. Seriously, WHAT. That is insane! I didn't know that! I saw a bunch of other Roon decks run Sundial of the Infinite but I thought it was just as a preemptive strike against counterspells or something like that. That is absolutely insane. Paired up with the fact that it's only like 50 cents makes me incredibly happy.

Thank you so much!

JamesAzimuthPHD you sort of have it right, but sort of not. Basically, you exile a creature with Roon, and at the end of your turn when the 'return to play' ability triggers and goes on the stack, that is when you would activate the sundial and end your turn, exiling the 'return to play' ability from the stack. Not sure if that is what you meant or not, I got the impression you thought you activate the sundial right after using rooms ability.

As a side suggestion, Strionic Resonator is better than illusionists bracers almost always.

RoarMaster Thanks for the clarification. I've been trying to get in touch with the rules more deeply but I'm still very much so a novice. So I appreciate you explaining it out.

Also thanks for the suggestion, I was iffy on Illusionist's Bracers and had it there as more of a mental note than anything, but Strionic Resonator I'm giving serious consideration.

Yeah, I'm aware that Strionic Resonator out classes Illusionist's Bracers, I just suggested both because it's EDH; only one of each card.. :P

RoarMaster Thanks for clarification. I'm still iffy on rules as well. Though, I'm pretty sure that Sundial will have the desired effect no matter when it's activated, so long as Roon has something in Exile.

JamesAzimuthPHD well, I am not 'iffy on the rules' when it comes to the sundial. If you activate it before the end of your turn, it will end your turn, causing the delayed 'return to play' ability to trigger, and then resolve, returning the critter to play. You do need to do it in response to the delayed trigger actually going on the stack in order to pernenantly exile the creature.

I hear Palinchron does some work with Deadeye Navigator.

(Hint hint...it gives you infinite mana)

:)

MetalDivinity Oh man... that's way too sick!

The cost is pretty steep, but for infinite mana I'd pay that price!

Only reservations I have getting it is how much my playgroup will like it; or rather how much will they hate it. If they feel like it's too cheaty or un-fun I won't pick it up, but otherwise you can believe I want that card!

Thanks as always =)

jjdrew99 and RoarMaster I'm sorry, but I had to remove some of your comments to both reduce the negativity in the comment section and to clarify for people viewing this thread.

If you want to know how Sundial works, you can scroll up and read RoarMaster's explanation of it in the comments above or read my less accurate brutalization of it below.

In order to get the correct interaction with Roon and the Sundial you must exile the creature with Roon before your end-step so that the "beginning of the next end step" doesn't occur on your opponents' turn. Then in order to exile a creature permanently you must activate the Sundial's ability at your end step IN RESPONSE to Roon's "at the beginning of the next end step" trigger. If you activate Sundial's effect any earlier than it'll just cause your turn to end bringing the creature back on the field with Roon's trigger. Activating it in response to Roon's ability on the stack causes the Sundial's ability to be placed on the stack causing the turn to end, Roon's trigger to fizzle, and the creature being exiled permanently.

I honestly hate deleting comments, but coming to this deck and seeing all of this was just too much for me and I worry it'll deter other people from contributing to the discussion. I really do appreciate you both trying to help improve my deck and understanding of the rules; but please keep it civil and don't attack each other. There is a way to share ideas and explain concepts without breaking out into a pissing match.

We're all here to learn and discuss and make the MTG community open for all. As I mentioned twice before, I dislike removing comments so if you're upset or just want to discuss with me than just shoot me a message.
