Bogles
Aliases: Aura Hexproof
Dominant mana: 
Type: Aggro
Description: Bogles is an explosive aggro deck based around cheap creatures with Hexproof or similar abilities, such as Slippery Bogle, Gladecover Scout, and Silhana Ledgewalker. In a format dominated by cheap and efficient removals, Bogles players try to race their opponents from 20 to 0 with creatures having built-in protection. Since Bogles creatures cannot be targeted once on the board, opponents are left with a few options to deal with them. Some of those include sacrifice effects, such as Chainer’s Edict, or (non-targeting) mass removals, such as Fiery Cannonade, or creatures like Standard bearer.
To consistently win games in the first 4-5 turns, Bogles features a variety of enchantments to boost creatures’ power and to grant useful combat abilities to its attackers, such as Trample and First Strike. Staples of the archetype are Rancor, Ethereal Armor, and Armadillo Cloak, that typically lead to a snowball effect in conjunction with Ancestral Mask.
To fix its mana base, Bogles uses additional enchantments like Abundant Growth and Utopia Sprawl, that also contribute to the offensive strategy.
Bogles is a non-interactive deck, with a fast clock, a low mana curve and all-in strategy that doesn’t offer many mid/late-game options. However, given its popularity, opponents typically reserve sideboard slots for (mass) enchantment removals that can disrupt the aggro plan.
