Nobody really knows what Rodrigo's deal is. He is a perpetual enigma, an unknown quantity, the X factor.

Each color has a handful of paths that it likes to follow to victory and if you stay within that framework you can build a decent deck without too many problems.

Check out my deck recommendations, after the jump!
