Deck overview

Kratos, God of War is a mono-red voltron-and-punisher deck. Early rituals and artifacts accelerate Kratos out, then equipment and auras such as Super State, Excalibur, and Grafted Exoskeleton turn his double strike into a one- or two-swing kill. Kediss and Super State convert single-target damage into damage to all opponents, while Dictate of the Twin Gods doubles those hits for a one-combat finish. Around this, the deck runs a light stax/pillow-fort suite-Crawlspace, Ensnaring Bridge, Smoke, Mudslide-and token gifts like Akroan Horse and Forbidden Orchard to make Kratos's end-step burn and Angel's Trumpet meaningful. It is fast when the rituals align, but a thin tutor base and heavy reliance on Kratos make it inconsistent and somewhat fragile.
