Recently switched to {Rafiq of the Many} voltron and I needs yo advice!  What are some key cards to include at all costs? 

Spencer Addington

Swords are awesome with double strikes.

Mattao19

{Shield of the Oversoul} is nuts!!! So are:

{Steel of the Godhead}

{Favor of the Overbeing}

Remillo

{Finest Hour}.  That is all.

Gocougs509

{Alpha authority} for that necessary hexproof.

{Dauntless Escort}, {hyena umbra}, {spider umbra} and {bear umbra} for survival?

And {Sigarda, host of herons} is pretty great for the anti-sacrifice effect as well as being a back-up voltron route.

Almosteric

 {Battle Mastery} for when you don't attack alone. {Celestial Mantle}  {Corrupted Conscience} are mean.
Of course {Winds of Rath}
and the tutors
{Enlightened Tutor} 
{Idyllic Tutor}
{mystical tutor}
{three dreams}
Are all auto include to get you voltroned up.

:D you guys are the best!  All of these suggestions are incredible and fairly cheap!! 

Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

{Privileged Position}, {Ethereal Armor}, {Armadillo Cloak}, {Unflinching Courage}, {Curiosity} and {Spectra Ward}

Also, why Rafiq over Derevi? Derevi has flying, which is arguably better than exalted and a cool ETB ability.

Double Strike to any guy that's suited up and +1/+1 makes damage add up fast.

Very different builds.  I started with {Jenara, Asura of War} for the evasion and the self-pump, then decided that I was way more excited to see Rafiq hit the field.  He has been performing way better than her.  Derevi just seems like your typical Bant ETB kinda deck, not really a super voltrony build.

It would be cool as hell to see a competitive Rafiq voltron vs. Uril voltron.

The real question is are you favoring enchantments or equipment more? (Or a combo of both?) My Isamaru list starte more equipment heavy but now runs a mix of both since you can only cast and equip so many in a turn.

Because you have access to blue you can add in some control which is nice! My friend swore by {Might of Oaks} in his Rafiq deck 😉

:o  I like {Might of Oaks} a lot even though it is super narrow.  I am still stuck with the control shell from Jenara, so I'm up for either direction.  Probably more enchantment based since I just sold all but two swords :P
