You said "brainstorm" in reference to "Underworld Breach" (combo), when I think you were meaning "Brain Freeze", to mill into the graveyard. :)

I have decided to give you guys my secret rograhk and thrasios cedh brew. Magda, Goldspan Dragon, dockside extortionist, skullwinder, signal the clans, jeska’s will, dualcaster mage, kinnan, Barrin Master Wizard, Ghostly flicker, Twinflame, Meria, Tireless provisioner, etherium sculptor, equilibrium, Battered golem, seedborn muse, eternal witness, defiler of dreams, shrieking drake, Baral’s expertise, prosperous innkeeper, relic of legends, goblin engineer, tamiyo collector of tales, displacer kitten, cryptolith rite, displace, the reality chip, douse, gilded drake, Jaheria, fury storm, guild artisan, goblin matron, sanctum weaver, consuming tide, muddle the mixture, replication technique, goblin welder, hullbreaker horror, crafty cutpurse, academy manufactor, guided passage, static orb, winter orb, sublime epiphany, urza lord high artificer, adrix and Nev twincasters, paradoxical outcome, Mox amber, nyxbloom ancient, bloom tender, lifeforce, drafna founder of lat nam, ghostly pilferer, mana crypt, sol ring, galazeth prismari, imperial recruiter, threats undetected, lonis Cryptozoologist, voldaren epicure, intuition, cloudstone curio, sensei’s divining top. + 32 lands and Rograhk and thrasios in command zone. It’s something that’s definitely typically a little slower out the gate but that’s kinda an advantage as people will underestimate your true threat potential. Always having rograhk as a combo piece and always having Thrasios as a combo mana sink is actually one of the best stax compliments ever. Also the fact you are dropping rograhk turn 1 every game is nice. Drafna is mostly in there for extra Winter and static orb interaction to help break parody. Also there are obviously a few changes you could make to slightly optimize different faucets. But I think the way I present it above is the best cedh version. Maybe cut a land for lotus petal. But I haven’t tested yet.
