Profit\n\nThe overall strategy is pretty simple. We want to play at least 3 evasive 1/1s to maximize our card draw each turn. Once we've built up a good hand and a critical mass of 1/1s we use an overrun type effect to close out the game. The deck looks to play creatures on turns 1-3, so there is no mana acceleration in the deck. My list is tuned to my playgroup, so there isn't any infinite combos and it is overall pretty casual, but Rigo could easily be a strong combo control deck.\n\nTwo cute synergies I found were Storm of Souls and Field of Souls. Storm of Souls lets us quickly rebound from a board wipe, the change to 1/1 spirit has no drawback as most of our creatures are already 1/1s. Field of Souls lets us continue to have evasive 1/1s when our creatures start dying so we can continue to advance our game plan.\n\nWelcoming Vampire, Mentor of the Meek, Guardian Project, and Beast Whisperer could easily slot into the deck to provide other ways to draw cards off of our creatures. Due to our redundancy and two pieces of graveyard interaction, we don't really care about reusing things from our graveyard, so aggressive graveyard hate like Rest in Peace could be added. Strixhaven Stadium is another card to consider, but I find it too unreliable in my meta. \n"}]}

Abuse ETBs from Tivit and other creatures to generate massive value, use Deadeye Navigator to go infinite with your commander and dump your clues into Time Sieve to take infinite turns. If you have a way to make 3 treasures for each Deadeye activation, such as Anointed Procession or a third vote from Ballot Broker or Brago's Representative, you can make infinite treasures and infinite clues. Then just draw your whole deck, play Nadier's Nightblade, and sac treasures to drain everyone out. Lots of ways to win, and your opponents are guaranteed to hate every single one of them.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"#2f2c2b","link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/2657738#Thumb_on_the_Scale"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/2657738#Thumb_on_the_Scale"},{"insert":"\n"}]}

I know you might like some of the cards you're drawing in Raffine, but I wouldn't get too attached, they'll be gone before you know it, as we're going to be absolutely stacking LOADS of counters on our Armies in a Can, or, more preferably, any of the big buddies in the \"Stock Up\" category.

(Hint: Use it to cast cards that you've been holding onto or activating abilities!) Anything else you need? Hold tight, you'll know it when you see it.\n\nIf you suffer from separation anxiety, don't worry, I've got you covered.

(It's cool, I like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts"}},{"insert":" too.) Don't sweat it, though!

Don't think you can find these cards when you're playing? You'll be rummaging through the deck at a rapid pace, so you'll come across them sooner than you think.\n\nI could rant even further about the different lines that you COULD take, but I think it's time for you to glance through and piece together your own strategy. With Raffine, you'll be taking a lot of different back alleys and avenues, finding some intriguing combinations as you rummage through, stitching together a unique gameplan every time. Take control yourself and find out why exactly the best army is the one you just happened to scrounge up.\n"}]}
