Strategy
Butch DeLoria is a scrappy aggro commander that turns your Rogues and Snakes into a growing threat. Every time Butch attacks, it gets stronger for each Rogue or Snake you control, meaning you're rewarding yourself for building a tribal-ish deck while naturally getting bigger. The menace ability makes Butch hard to block early, and his activated ability lets you convert random creatures into Rogues, giving you flexibility and synergy with evasion-focused payoffs.
Your game plan is straightforward: build a critical mass of Rogues and Snakes, swing with Butch and your crew, and watch your commander grow into a lethal threat. You'll want cheap, evasive creatures that both pressure opponents and enable Butch's pump effect. Evasion lords, anthem effects, and cards that reward attacking create a synergistic engine. This isn't a complex deck—it's pure aggro momentum where you're attacking on turn 3-4 and closing games by turn 6-7.
