Deck overview

This deck is a mono-red aggro and discard-synergy strategy led by Jiang Yanggu, Alone. The game plan revolves around declaring solo attacks with large, evasive creatures to trigger Yanggu's rummaging and +1/+1 counter growth. By discarding cards naturally through combat, cycling, and rummaging spells, the deck generates compounding advantages using madness creatures, burn triggers, and Treasure tokens. Key engine pieces like Inti, Seneschal of the Sun, Surly Badgersaur, and Currency Converter turn card discarding into card advantage and board presence. Win conditions leverage massive combat damage from doubled damage multipliers like Gratuitous Violence, extra combats from Relentless Assault, and direct damage triggers from Vincent, Vengeful Atoner and Casey Jones, Back Alley Brute. While resilient against spot removal thanks to redirection spells like Bolt Bend, the deck plays at an honest mid-power pace without infinite combos, relying on sequential combat phases to close out the table.
