God of War by complexus

Format: Commander

Commander: Kratos, God of War

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Kratos, God of War heads an aggressive mono-red deck built to win through hasted combat and extra combat steps. Kratos's double strike and global haste make him the natural target for damage multipliers and equipment, while his end-step trigger punishes anyone who keeps blockers back; goad effects like Disrupt Decorum turn that trigger into a political weapon. Secondary paths are voltron kills with Commander's Plate/Reaver Cleaver and treasure-fueled card advantage from Goldspan Dragon and Professional Face-Breaker. There is no hidden commander; the DFC Clive, Ifrit's Dominant // Ifrit, Warden of Inferno is a devotion value piece, not the build's focus.
