Amarant just keep swinging by Xenzei

Deck overview

This deck is a Gruul Voltron aggro strategy led by Amarant Coral. The commander features trample and the No Mercy ability, which mirrors all combat damage dealt to an opponent across every other opponent at the table. The game plan accelerates mana on turns one and two using efficient ramp, deploys Amarant Coral by turn four, and attacks on turn five with powerful pump spells or double strike enablers like Bulk Up, Invigorate, and Fireshrieker. Because Amarant damages all three opponents at once, a single massive swing drastically lowers table life totals, setting up a decisive finish on turn six. The deck protects its commander using low-cost instant-speed spells like Royal Treatment, Defend the Rider, and Overprotect. While the list excels at rapid, table-wide combat damage, it has minimal instant-speed removal for opposing threats and relies on attacking through combat rather than infinite combos.
