Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Jund stompy list centered on Eddie Brock // Venom, Lethal Protector. The strategy accelerates mana in the opening turns using efficient ramp spells and small utility creatures like Wood Elves and Farhaven Elf. Once six mana is available on Turn 5, Eddie Brock transforms into Venom and immediately attacks with haste. By sacrificing a creature during the attack, Venom draws cards equal to that creature's mana value and cheats a permanent of equal or lesser cost directly onto the battlefield. This engine deploys game-ending threats such as Etali, Primal Conqueror, Gruff Triplets, Ghalta, Primal Hunger, and Bloodletter of Aclazotz ahead of curve while continuously refilling the hand. Supported by damage doublers and extra combat steps, the deck presents an overwhelming board state on Turn 5 and eliminates all opponents through lethal combat damage by Turn 7.
