Cheating Magnus by user8162201

Format: Commander

Commander: Ultra Magnus, Tactician // Ultra Magnus, Armored Carrier

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Naya deck, helmed by Ultra Magnus, Tactician // Ultra Magnus, Armored Carrier, is a high-octane artifact-creature beatdown strategy. The commander's converted cost ({2}{R}{G}{W}) plus haste means it attacks the turn it lands, cheating a big artifact creature from hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking, then converting into a Vehicle with living metal. The primary win is overwhelming combat damage from enormous artifact creatures - Blightsteel Colossus (one-shot infect), Darksteel Colossus, Krang, Utrom Warlord (a flying/trample/indestructible/haste anthem), and Ancient Stone Idol. A dense ramp package (dorks, rocks, and cost reducers like Foundry Inspector and Cloud Key) accelerates the curve, while value engines - Losheel, Clockwork Scholar, Chimil, the Inner Sun, Cosmic Cube, and The One Ring - keep the hand full. Secondary lines include a couple of compact combos in the 99 and Smothering Tithe treasure generation.
