Hitting a ramp piece isn't too bad either, since if you can't secure a turn 5 win you'll likely want to recast Rafiq at some point.

Make sure to have a creature ready to apply pressure. Recast Rafiq if it's safe to do so. You should easily have enough mana to afford the commander tax. emember, while Rafiq can kill with just 21 damage, if everything goes according to plan, Mirri or Kutzil can swing for 24+ across both combats (The same as Rafiq), Aerial Extortionist can swing for 28+ and Sun Titan can swing for a whopping 36+"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nIf everything goes according to plan, a turn 5 win is possible. That being said, a big advantage of this deck is being able to go slow. If you're only swinging with one creature each combat, you opponents likely won't see you as the biggest threat at the table in the early game. Taxes from Ghostly Prison and Elephant Grass are very good at redirecting small bits of damage, and when you're capable of dealing so much damage yourself, it's best to kill in one hit to avoid crack-back. As soon as you kill one player, it's obvious how easily you can kill the others. Letting the board wear itself into lethal range while you build your board is an excellent strategy, and is often safer than going for a hyper-aggressive quick win.\n\nThis deck is very fun to play, and as long as you can quickly resolve your TKttV triggers, it's shouldn't cause any serious upset at a moderately powered table. \n\nEnjoy!\n\n"}]}
