Ragavan, Hot Soup!!!! by The_Tobes

Format: Commander

Commander: Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ragavan leads a mono-red Equipment Voltron and theft aggro deck that wins through combat damage, not combos. The primary plan uses Ragavan's Treasure and exile to ramp and cast opponents' cards while suiting a single threat with Swords, Embercleave, and Reaver Cleaver to deal 21+ commander or 40 regular damage. Secondary paths go wide with Cori-Steel Cutter monks and Gut skeletons, or grind value from Etali, Professional Face-Breaker, and Stolen Strategy. Ragavan acts as early pressure, ramp, and card advantage. Etali, Primal Storm serves as hidden commander, providing repeatable free casts that take over the late game when Ragavan is answered.
