Saved commander deck
Rocco, Street Chef
Force players to cast cards from exile using 'Group Hug' effects to trigger Rocco's ability, buffing your board and generating Food tokens while punishing opponents for taking the bait.
Prompt: A Rocco street chef deck based around group hug/group slug, food tokens, exile, and counters. Please include expedited inheritance, Jolene the plunder queen, and focus the deck on tempting other players to take actions that benefit me, for example, reward other players for attacking my opponents, and give them cards to play from exile that will activate Rocco street chefs ability
