The written guide will be on Roach Forest + brief SVO advice
🕑 Added 2025-07-24 14:49:58 +0000 UTCI've decided to write a guide on Roach Forest but as it is still under construction, I will share the list that I recommend and a few ideas for SVO.
This is the Roach list that I recommend the most for SVO. It is the easiest version to pilot in my opinion, and doubly so with my guide (which will come, hopefully, in the next 1-2 days).
I think Roach only has two bad matchups currently, Aggro Abyss and Ward Haven. Ward Haven is not only expensive, but it's also not very good, so you're unlikely to see it much in SVO. Aggro Abyss, however, is definitely one of the top decks and needs to be considered as a threat.
I would recommend these two lineups for people playing SVO:
Puppet Portal + Roach/Spellboost: Puppet covers a lot of Roach/Spellboost's weaknesses. Although Spellboost already demolishes Ward Haven, the same cannot be said for Roach. Puppet gives you an easy out to Ward Haven lineups. The key reason to consider Puppet is to hedge against Aggro Abyss, as the matchup is heavily Puppet favoured. This lineup means that the worst situation you can run into is a 50-50.
Aggro Abyss + Roach/Spellboost. This one follows a similar principle to the above, except Aggro Abyss is obviously 50-50 against itself. You only really want to run this if you're fine with playing the Aggro Abyss mirror.
While you can get away with any deck you want, given it's a bo1 format, when I consider the overall matchup spread, these are the only two lineups that seem safe to me. You can also take more risky lineups, but the only reason you would do that is if you were unwilling to play one of the decks above imo.
