Monkeys by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Kibo, Uktabi Prince

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Gruul Ape/Monkey tribal deck built around Kibo, Uktabi Prince's banana engine. Kibo taps to hand every player a Banana artifact token, then his attack trigger forces the defending player to sacrifice an artifact - usually their own Banana - which feeds his second ability and puts a +1/+1 counter on every Ape and Monkey you control. The deck floods the board with oversized primates - Kogla, the Titan Ape, Grunn, the Lonely King, Ancient Silverback, Kogla and Yidaro - and grows them into lethal, trampling threats over a few combat steps. A dense artifact/enchantment destruction package (Decimate, Silverback Elder, Gearbane Orangutan) keeps the path clear. The primary win is combat damage from a counter-boosted ape army; there are no infinite combos. This is a straightforward, commander-centric midrange beatdown that wins through incremental board growth and removal.
