Rarely does Rofellos tap for less than 2, frequently he taps for like 5, even on turn three he can be tapping for 5
These include cards such as Avatar Aang (flying, firebending, transform), Aang, at the Crossroads (Ally fetch, transform), Boiling Rock Rioter (firebending, Ally reanimate), Earth King's Lieutenant (+1/+1 counters), Fire Lord Zuko (firebending, +1/+1 counters), General Tazri (Ally fetch, anthem effect), Hakoda (cast Allies out of your deck, protection), Katara, the Fearless (double triggers), Katara, Water Tribe (vigilance, 1/1 counters, waterbend), Sokka (menace, prowess, 1/1 tokens), and many more
All feel like valid strategies to me
Initiative works the same way in 1v1 Magic as it does in multiplayer games
