Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh / Thrasios, Triton Hero

How it plays & wins

The deck is a creature-based midrange shell with a heavy free-interaction suite. Mana dorks like Birds of Paradise and Delighted Halfling, plus Sol Ring, Mana Vault and Chrome Mox, power out Thrasios and Rograkh. Thrasios gives card selection, and Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora add value. Chord of Calling, Green Sun's Zenith, Eldritch Evolution and Gamble find the right piece, while Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship, Pact of Negation and Swan Song protect the turn.

The win condition isn't clearly defined by the list, and I can't point to a confirmed infinite combo. The most plausible routes are going wide with Chatterstorm, Gaea's Cradle and Cryptolith Rite, or simply grinding ahead and attacking with a big board, with Training Grounds helping the mana. Its top-two finish probably owes as much to tight piloting and counterspell backup as to a single kill line.
