Rocco, Street Chef

Gameplan

Rocco turns your end step into a group-wide impulse draw engine, exiling the top card of every library and letting everyone play it until your next end step. You profit hardest because every land or spell played from exile (by anyone) puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature you choose and makes a Food. Snowball those counters and Food onto a threat or sacrifice engine, then close before the table catches up on the symmetrical card advantage.

Key Cards

• Cultivate — Ramp and fixing in three colors keeps you ahead of the symmetrical draw.
• Cathars' Crusade — Every Rocco counter and creature entering pumps your whole board exponentially.
• Trostani, Selesnya's Voice — Turns the endless Food and token bodies into a massive lifegain cushion.
• The Ozolith — Banks counters from Rocco so dead creatures don't waste your value.
• Korvold, Fae-Cursed King — Sacrificing Food draws cards and grows Korvold, weaponizing the token stream.
• Etali, Primal Conqueror — Another impulse-style payoff that snowballs with Rocco's card flow.

Upgrade Path

Add ways to play extra cards each turn (extra land drops, cascade, flash) so you exploit the impulse window before opponents do, and stack counter payoffs like Cathars' Crusade and The Ozolith to convert Rocco triggers into a winning board. Tighten the mana base with fast Naya rocks and fetch/dual lands, then add a decisive finisher such as Craterhoof Behemoth or Triumph of the Hordes so the snowball actually closes games.
