Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Naya deck is a combat-focused "Elder Dinosaur plus Final Fantasy legends" pile that looks to overwhelm the table with oversized attackers and repeated combat phases. Commander Zacama, Primal Calamity serves as a late-game mana sink and flexible removal engine: casting it untaps all lands, then its activated abilities destroy blockers, artifacts, or enchantments while its 9/9 trample body closes out games. The true engine, however, is Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER, a hasty attacker that draws cards, creates Treasures, and turns Equipment into momentum. Raph & Leo, Sibling Rivals supplies an extra combat each turn, re-firing attack triggers from Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER, Ghalta and Mavren, and the token producers. The deck finishes with an alpha strike from Moonshaker Cavalry or a giant Ghalta and Mavren Dinosaur token, with Hellkite Tyrant as an incidental artifact-win alternative. The plan is resilient but slow and tutor-light, relying on natural draws and curve plays rather than combo assembly.
