Deck overview

This mono-green deck uses Oviya, Automech Artisan to bypass high mana costs and cheat devastating creatures and artifacts directly onto the battlefield. Early turns prioritize deploying 1-CMC mana accelerators like Llanowar Elves, Birds of Paradise, and Wild Growth to cast Oviya ahead of curve on turn 2 or 3. Once operational on turn 4, Oviya taps for a single green mana to deploy game-ending threats such as Blightsteel Colossus, Worldspine Wurm, and Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant. Oviya gives attacking creatures trample, turning large bodies into lethal combat damage across subsequent turns. Supporting pieces like Lightning Greaves and Thousand-Year Elixir grant haste, while redundant cheat enablers such as Elvish Piper and Monster Manual ensure resilience against commander removal. Although the deck lacks heavy reactive interaction and stax pieces, its explosive deployment speed and trampling combat finishers create decisive pressure that eliminates the table by turn 6.
