Monke (Kogla the Titan Ape) by Serein

Format: Commander

Commander: Kogla, the Titan Ape

Bracket: 2

DeckCheck Threat Index: 31

Deck overview

This mono-green deck uses Kogla, the Titan Ape as both a primary threat and a repeatable removal engine. The game plan accelerates through dense low-cost ramp to deploy Kogla on Turn 5, immediately removing a key opposing creature via Kogla's fight trigger. On subsequent turns, Kogla attacks to destroy artifacts and enchantments while applying heavy combat pressure. Synergistic Human creatures like Eternal Witness, Hyrax Tower Scout, and Briarbridge Tracker provide continuous value and allow Kogla to gain indestructible on demand. Card draw engines such as Garruk's Uprising, Return of the Wildspeaker, and Colossal Majesty maintain card advantage by capitalizing on Kogla's 7/6 stat line. Evasion enablers like Champion of Lambholt and trample granting effects allow the deck to push through lethal combat damage across all three opponents by Turn 9.
