Deck overview

This deck is a Naya combat control and token swarm engine commanded by Marisi, Breaker of the Coil. The strategy focuses on establishing early mana acceleration and low-cost token generators, followed by casting Marisi to enforce combat-phase spell silence. By leveraging evasive and keyword-buffed attackers—granting first strike, deathtouch, and menace through pieces like Aragorn, Hornburg Hero, Bow of Nylea, and Gruul War Chant—the deck reliably connects combat damage across multiple opponents to trigger full-table goad. Goaded opponents are forced to exhaust their forces and life totals attacking each other while the pilot remains shielded from creature retaliation. Backed by token doublers such as Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Doubling Season, and finishers like True Conviction, the deck cleans up the weakened survivors in decisive swings by turn 7.
