Deck overview

This is a five-color Mutant, Ninja, and Turtle combat deck centered on Leonardo, the Balance and Raphael, the Muscle. The main line develops counters and tokens, then uses Endless Foot Assault to make attacking Ninjas while Raphael, the Muscle doubles damage from countered creatures. Doubling Season, Corpsejack Menace, Leatherhead, Iron Gator, and Biogenic Ooze increase the board's growth. The deck has reasonable ramp and broad creature removal, but its mana is slow, its key cards are mostly singletons, and it has almost no reliable protection or tutoring. A normal full setup reaches its first serious attack around turn 8. That attack is threatening but not lethal, and the list does not support a dependable route to kill all three opponents on a known turn. Its best games come from surviving long enough to build a wide countered board and using combat triggers and recursion to recover value.
