Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer — Tempo Evasion
Brawl deck list · by Tester1
Ragavan pressures the opponent from turn one, using Dash to safely connect for combat damage and generate Treasure tokens while exiling and casting the opponent's own cards against them. The deck floods the board with cheap, efficient red creatures and burn spells to close games quickly before the opponent stabilizes. Treasure tokens accelerate mana to deploy threats ahead of curve or recast Ragavan through commander tax. The stolen cards provide unexpected value and resource advantage, letting the deck run the opponent out of options while maintaining board pressure. In a 25-life format, the goal is to win before turn 6-7 by overwhelming tempo rather than grinding.
