Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Post-Mortem:"},{"insert":" Do you remember the early days of EDH? Do you remember Rafiq? He was a true threat across the table, in the same tier as Uril or Zur. It's rare to see him at the table nowadays, so I figured he would be the perfect pick for a Bant deck. After all, so many new auras and equipment have been printed, so many new ways to pump him into the one-hit commander damage territory. Surely his potential would have grown as well?\n\nRafiq's potential has grown, but the voltron strategy isn't what it once was. The options for removal have exploded, with multiple new board wipes printed every year. The speed of the game has increased, and playing a voltron commander without built in evasion, haste, or protection is a risky proposition. Plus, it's never been easier to tutor up a means of giving your commander the once-vaunted double strike. \n\nNew commanders like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Balan, Wandering Knight"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale"}},{"insert":" utilize equipment far more effectively, and Bant now hosts commanders like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kestia, the Cultivator"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tuvasa the Sunlit"}},{"insert":" who provide more advantage from auras and enchantments. The nature of voltron itself has changed thanks to commanders like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kathril, Aspect Warper"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Otrimi, the Ever-Playful"}},{"insert":", who don't require fragile and mana-intensive auras and equipment to become frightening threats. \n\nRafiq's days as top-tier commander are behind him, and there's no going back. But that only opens him up to new and more interesting builds, built around aspects like damage and exalted triggers. Leave the straightforward swings for 11 double strike commander damage to the youths, and enjoy your rest, Rafiq. You've earned it. \n"}]}
