Strategy
Rothga is a self-buffing engine that rewards you for going wide with creatures. When it enters, you get a permanent boost that makes every creature you cast exponentially bigger—a 2/2 becomes a 4/4, then an 8/8, and so on. The deck leans into playing lots of creatures, ideally cheap ones you can chain together to maximize the snowball effect. You're not trying to go infinite; you're just leveraging the boon to turn a steady stream of medium creatures into a tidal wave of huge tramples that bash through for lethal.
Build around token generators, efficient creature producers, and cost-reducers so you can cast multiple creatures per turn and accelerate the power growth. Cards like Llanowar Elves, Elvish Archdruid, and Parallel Lives turn your creature count into real board presence. Sacrifice outlets and recursion help you rebuild after a wipe and keep the boon train rolling. Your win is straightforward: swing with an army of oversize tramplers and end the game before anyone stabilizes.
