Deck overview

This deck is a Jeskai Voltron and combat control build commanded by Ruhan of the Fomori. The primary strategy accelerates Ruhan out on Turn 4, leveraging his massive 7/7 stat line to threaten rapid commander damage eliminations starting on Turn 5. Because Ruhan attacks random opponents, the deck incorporates combat redirection, damage multipliers, and equipment to ensure each swing connects decisively. To survive multi-opponent combat, the deck deploys a pillowfort defense featuring attack taxes like Collective Restraint, untap restrictions like Smoke, and potent combat traps like Comeuppance and Deflecting Palm. While the deck boasts high-quality reactive answers and board wipes, its clock is prolonged across four or more turn cycles because it must eliminate opponents one by one without infinite combos. It thrives in battlecruiser and mid-power multiplayer games where combat tricks and asymmetric punishment punish aggressive tables.
