Offers an option to drain out an opponent (even if it doesn't trigger prowl).So I've been testing her a ton in modern this week in order to evaluate if it's as playable as Bob in other formats. Â Flip is notable in this case as a way to search out a clone of a lord without taking up a full creature slot, while Its worth testing with some proxies to see how it matches you against the decks you are likely to play, as artifact removal is common (but getting them to sideboard it in is also good). It also dodges counterspells like vial, even if its not at instant speed and doesn't help after a wrath. Is an interesting option to turn 1 drops into 2 drops, letting you have more consistent access to lords like soaring or blackguard. if you are looking for answers its likely they've already stopped you hitting them in the face. the card disadvantage and tap/untap on it is punishing. Is a lightning helix at the face that draws a card when you are hitting your opponent, but bad without a board state.Ī solid 'no hand for you' plan does a lot to keep your rogues on the battlefield. You can mess around with mostly blue shells and add some negates, or mostly black and add push - but the best thing about rogue decks is that so long as you keep switching it up your opponents won't know exactly what they are facing, and will have to play accordingly. Most of the below cards are really cheap, and you should be able to test different kinds of shells using them. The higher up the mana curve you go, the more expensive the list gets as it turns into the faerie/ninja style lists.įrogtosser is a fun card, but without a second cheap cost reduction spell, its probably better just to play some cheaper cmc rogues, unless you plan to ramp into a particularly key card. I really reccomend running as many 1 drop rogues as you can - I was running up to 12, alongside card draw to keep them going, preferring unblockables as you can to take advantage of blackguard/thought thief and prowl. I honestly wonder if you shouldn't shave a land or 2 for Dark Ritual? I'd probably go down 2 lands and 2 of something else for 4 of Ritual, but I love that card and always try to use it, even when it doesn't strictly work.īudget rogues is a sweet brew - I ran it a long while back. 3 mana for the effect is worse, but idk, auras seem questionable vs some decks, maybe I'm wrong? When I had a similar deck, I actually enjoyed using Morsel Theft as a small draw spell/life gain effect, very helpful vs Burn, and if you can manage to cast it for B, it'll feel pretty good.Īnother way to make things Swamps in Legacy on a budget is to use Blanket of Night. Vampire Cutthroat is a nice 1 drop, lifelink is a nice perk. If your deck runs some removal it ends up being pretty hard to block, so it can draw more than 1 card sometimes. Glint-Sleeve Siphoner is a rogue that draws cards in mono-black. They just reprinted Prowler, so it can be had on the cheap.

Just tossing it out there (because it can let you toss a Filth to the bin), Oona's Prowler, which is a discard outlet for both players, suicidal in some metas obviously, but a 3/1 flying rogue for 1B is pretty pushed other than that, and if your deck is already making them pitch stuff, it'll be hard to debuff your Prowler.
