Deck overview

This mono-red deck harnesses Neheb, the Eternal to convert symmetrical group damage into explosive postcombat mana. In the early turns, the deck sets up mana rocks and group slug permanents like Roiling Vortex, Zo-Zu the Punisher, and Ankh of Mishra to chip away at opposing life totals. Once Neheb enters the battlefield on turn 4 or 5, combat attacks and global burn spells like Flame Rift generate a massive burst of red mana during the postcombat main phase. The deck channels this mana directly into decisive game-ending spells such as Crackle with Power, Jaya's Immolating Inferno, or the infinite combat loop enabled by Aggravated Assault. While the deck features overwhelming burst lethality and strong redundancy among burn effects, it relies heavily on Neheb surviving until combat ends and carries minimal protection against instant-speed interaction.
