Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Mardu combat deck commanded by Tsagan, Raider Warlord. It curves early first strike and double strike creatures into Tsagan to rapidly scale team power through attack triggers and the engine mechanic. Once speed builds, Tsagan grants universal deathtouch and first strike, making opposing blocks virtually impossible. Payoffs like Kwende, Pride of Femeref and Isshin, Two Heavens as One accelerate damage, while token generators such as Adeline, Resplendent Cathar widen the board. The deck protects its assaults with efficient answers like Flawless Maneuver, Deflecting Swat, and Teferi's Protection, alongside a compact infinite combat finish in Aggravated Assault paired with The Reaver Cleaver.
