Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color midrange strategy built around Michelangelo, the Heart and Leonardo, the Balance. The game plan revolves around generating tokens to trigger team-wide +1/+1 counter distribution. Michelangelo provides early aggression and a reliable stream of Food tokens via his Raid trigger. Leonardo converts each token entry into counters on all friendly creatures, steadily growing your board. Counter amplifiers such as Corpsejack Menace and High Score accelerate this growth, while thematic payoffs like Raphael, the Muscle, Leatherhead, Iron Gator, and Leonardo's 5-color activated ability turn the buffed board into an overwhelming combat force. The deck leans heavily into its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and retro video game theme, featuring flavorful interaction and utility spells. While it lacks fast combo finishes and stack interaction, it offers a resilient combat curve and asymmetric board wipes like Wave Goodbye to secure victory through combat damage.
