Deck overview

Helmed by Sonic the Hedgehog, this Jeskai deck is a flash/haste aggression build that converts combat triggers into a snowballing Treasure economy and finishes with artifact-based reach and a giant combat Aura. Sonic's haste is a rules fact: he attacks the turn he's cast, and his attack trigger grows every flash/haste creature he controls - himself included - while his second ability turns incidental damage to flash/haste creatures into tapped Treasures. The engine layer - Goldspan Dragon, Professional Face-Breaker, Captain Lannery Storm, Academy Manufactor, Storm the Vault - turns every connect into extra mana and cards. Wins are layered: Super State on Knuckles the Echidna (the de facto hidden commander) triples combat damage across the table; Hellkite Tyrant and Knuckles both present artifact-total alternate wins; and Ingenious Artillerist plus All Will Be One convert the artifact swarm into direct damage. A compact equipment core with boots, Champion's Helm, and phase-out protection keeps the plan intact.
