Deck overview

This mono-red aggro and group slug deck uses Kratos, God of War to turn combat and board stalls into high-damage clocks. Kratos provides universal haste and double strike while punishing opponents who leave creatures back on defense. The deck accelerates into play with cost reducers and ritual mana, then layers damage multipliers such as Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, and Fiendish Duo onto extra combat engines like Karlach, Fury of Avernus and Bloodthirster. Card advantage is maintained through impulse exile effects from Inti, Seneschal of the Sun, Laelia, the Blade Reforged, and Professional Face-Breaker. The game plan creates rapid life total pressure across all three opponents, forcing defensive trades while threatening to close the game on turns 5 to 6. While vulnerable to heavy board wipes and lacking enchantment interaction, the list delivers high tempo and consistent combat lethality.
