Deck overview

This Naya deck operates as a high-velocity cEDH combo archetype centered on compact, deterministic win conditions and dense proactive protection. Built around Toph, the First Metalbender, the deck leverages format-ceiling mana acceleration such as Lion's Eye Diamond, Mana Vault, and Chrome Mox to reach operational speed by Turn 3. The primary win condition combines Auriok Salvagers with Lion's Eye Diamond to generate infinite colored mana, which repeatedly retrieves and casts Walking Ballista from the graveyard to deal lethal damage to all opponents in a single turn. Backup lines utilize Underworld Breach alongside Grinding Station or Wheel of Fortune to mill through the library and recur game-winning pieces. To ensure unhindered execution, the deck deploys an extensive shielding suite featuring Grand Abolisher, Silence, Ranger-Captain of Eos, and Defense Grid. While vulnerable to stax pieces like Collector Ouphe and graveyard hate, the deck boasts exceptional recovery via Sevinne's Reclamation and rapid assembly velocity.
