Roon, Master of Time and Space


Poc

Recommended Posts

This is my Roon deck, its a creature control deck and one of the most fun EDH decks I've played. The deck focuses around using creatures with powerful ETB effects
and flickering them with Roon to continously generate value from them. It mostly plays as a control deck but wins through agressive combat. The creature tutors in this
deck are expensive (moneywise) but are very nessisary for the deck to run. Creature control decks are toolbox decks and require you to be able to get the creature you need
when you need it. Below the list i've added some maybe-board cards that you can swap in or out depending on your meta. I've kept the nonbasic land count for this deck to a minimum because my meta plays a lot of red. Early game blood moons and ruinations are common and are devestating to a 3 color deck.

[spoiler='Maybe Board']

 

-Cathars Crusade

Puts 1/1 counters on your creatures every time a creature ETB under your control, can grow your creatures very fast

-Trostani's summoner

Can vomit out tokens very fast with Roon

-Momor Vig

Tutoring and card draw, ill be putting him into my deck when I can aquire one

-Yisan, the wanderer bard

a much slower birthing pod but can tutor creatures onto the battlefield

-Wordly tutor

Land and creature tutor, somewhat expensive to buy

-Survival of the fittest

Extremely strong creature tutoring, if you have deep pockets I'd reccomend grabbing one

-Gilded drake

Much like perplexing chimera, steal your opponents stuff and then flicker him back under your control. Expensive to buy, again, if money is no object this is one of the best cards for this deck

-Diluvian Primordial

If your playing in a meta with spell heavy decks he becomes a ton of fun to play, you can do some silly things with him the more opponents you play against

-Archaeomancer

The welfare snapcaster, doesn't exile your spells after using them though

-Village bell ringer

Gives your creatures a pseudo-vigilance effect

-Zameck Guildmage

Card draw, works well with Cathars crusade

-Venser, Shaper savant

Repeatable Remand

-Venser, The sojourner

Roon, the planeswalker, does some other things too I guess

Leyline of Anticipation

Gives your stuff flash, very useful

-Seedborn Muse

Prophet of Kruphix lite. Harder to remove since its out of bolt range

-Brago, King Eternal

Flicker everything at once if you can get through your opponents defenses

-Ephara, God of the Polis

Card draw, turns into a good beater

-Mystic Snake

Counterspells, a bit tricky to use though since flickering him with roon to counter a spell wont work

-Reveilark

Graveyard recursion, very good if your going for a more aggresive game plan

-Stone-Horn Dignitary

make aggro and voltron decks cry

-Aura Shards

Repetable artifact and enchantment removal

-Rest in Peace

The best graveyard hate card you can get, this deck has a fair bit of graveyard recursion so it might not be the best option

Typical Urza block broken ass creature, can make infinite mana with Deadeye Navigator

-Peregrine Drake

See palinchron

Repetable counterspells, easy to reset with flicker effects
