Thanks for the suggestions, Gandolphin! I like your ideas. What would you suggest I take out for those cards?

Cloudshift , Turn to Mist and Momentary Blink are the cards I would take out. They seem nice at first, but their one time use is actually pretty bad. I used to run stuff like them but eventually scrapped them because they were dissapointing to draw. Replace an island with Minamo, School at Water's Edge . All it does is help.

@Gandolphin the main reason I run one-time flicker spells is so that I can recur them with Isochron Scepter . Archaeomancer and Eternal Witness also work for this. Minamo is a great idea though, I'll try to get one soon! And I'll find other things to cut for your suggested cards.

Ok how about Restoration Angel ? Thats only a one time flick, unless you want to go through an unusual process of flicking it to blink anothet creature.

What about Flickerform ? Would take advantage of those enter the battlefield effects nicely.
Sylvan Primordial would be another nice addition, use one of your many "flicker" effects to make him enter the battlefield over and over... just watch for the nice bright red bulls-eye you might paint on your forehead.

Sylvan Primordial is now banned. how about Seedborn Muse ?

@HOBONOMO Nooooo! Not my primordial! Oh well. I'll consider Seedborn Muse for sure! I was thinking about running it over Murkfiend Liege anyway. Or maybe Tooth and Nail would be a good choice since it fills the same mana slot.

Ya was a sad day for me as well, I just build this guy too.

Actually Sylvan Primordial isnt bamned till the 7th!

@Gandolphin True, but we might as well take them out of our decks now. I replaced him with Avenger of Zendikar , who is pretty awesome anyway.

Gandolphin says... #14
Yeah probably. I dont know why but I never wanted Avenger of Zendikar in my dexk and now when I think about it, its great. Build up a bunch of 0/1 chumps draw a land amd overrun your enemies with power in numbers.
Also put in Seedborn Muse over Murkfiend Liege ! Extremely useful! Being able to flick om every opponents turns instead of one, is so good.
One last thing: how much do you like the board wipes in this deck? It seems wierd to me to place in a creature heavy deck, but sometimes Ive wished for one of them in my hand during a game that was going south

@Gandolphin I'll add Seedborn Muse to the deck as soon as I can get my hands on one! Also, I actually really like the board wipes here, especially if I have a Ghostway in hand. Even if I don't have that, they are good as reset buttons if I'm getting too far behind, and I can usually save my most important guy with Roon so that I start off with a decent board position after the wipe.

Sundial of the Infinite Is an Awesome card in Roon! it does a few things for you. 1. it will permanently exile an opponents creature! 2 it prevents people from doing things on your end step. and lastly it works well with Mimic Vat ! you make a creature on your turn then on your end step when the creature would go away you end your turn and you get to keep the creature! It is an awesome card!
Here is my take on roon Flicker Rhino's (I don't have the Mimic Vat and Sundial of the Infinite combo in the deck. If i did i think my play group would not be too happy with me.

@Emarean Suggestion taken, Sundial of the Infinite has been added in place of Snapcaster Mage . Thanks!

Came for the title, stayed for the list! +1
Idk much about the Roon but anything I'd suggest seems to already be in here!
March 6, 2014 4:31 p.m.
I agree Stonehorn Dignitary is Amazing in this deck. at least in a one on one situation. you can make it so that they cant attack you if you have it and roon out they are Rhino Brothers!
March 11, 2014 10:35 p.m.
Enlightened Tutor perhaps, Sudden Disappearance acts as a second Cyclonic Rift in certain scenarios, can make your board state go insane if you've got loads of ETB creatures in play, and if you've got a Sundial of the Infinite , it's just comical to permanently exile all non-land permanents target opponent controls.
Ancient Tomb is also pretty good.

I really like it!
As far as ETB effects go, Snapcaster Mage is pretty sweet, even if you don't run a ton of spells, getting double use out of all of them seems worth it. Sphinx of Uthuun would be pretty scary as well, although it would put a target on your back (but what's the point of playing cards that are bad enough to not do that?). Luminate Primordial and Diluvian Primordial are both really awesome ETB effects, because getting free Spelltwine s and Swords to Plowshares every turn would be terrifying. Draining Whelk would be a good way to lock your opponents out of the game if you have Roon.

I like the blink idea, I've got one myself, there's a huge difference from mine and everyone else I've seen. Do you guys not plan on board wiping very often? I love blinking to get board wipes over and over to slow down those aggro decks. Thoughts?

Gandolphin says... #25
Draining Whelk doesn't work with Roon in the slightest. It's impossible, as far as I'm aware, to get your opponent to cast a spell and the whelk come back with perfect timing at the endstep, same reason Mystic Snake isn't run in most these decks that you see.

Nice deck +1
In my opinion Thragtusk and and Armada Wurm are a MUST. They are both ridiculously powerful. I also find that Lavinia of the Tenth shuts down a large amount of decks. If youre open for suggestions take a peek at my deck I Prefer Not to Attack.
