Deck overview

This is a Mono-Red Warrior tribal aggro deck helmed by Gornog, the Red Reaper, built around a single explosive axis: flood the board with Warriors, turn opposing creatures into Cowards so they can't block, and then chain extra combat steps to run over the table in one turn. Gornog is the primary damage amplifier - his haste lets him attack the turn he lands, and every attack converts a blocker into a Coward while pumping all attacking Warriors by the Coward count. The deck packs nine extra-combat effects (Aggravated Assault, Relentless Assault, Savage Beating, Combat Celebrant, Moraug, Fury of Akoum, and more), plus a dense anthem suite (Shared Animosity, Lovisa Coldeyes, Berserkers' Onslaught, Gratuitous Violence) to turn a modest Warrior board into a one-turn kill. Secondary lines include treasure generation into Knuckles the Echidna's alternate win condition and mana-generating combat engines like Neheb, the Eternal and Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion to fuel infinite combats.
