TMNT: Heroes of the Arcade by TiredDad50

Deck overview

This five-color Midrange deck leverages the Partner-Character select pairing of Leonardo, the Balance and Michelangelo, the Heart to create a compounding board presence through +1/+1 counters and token generation. Michelangelo deploys on Turn 2 to establish early combat pressure and generate Food tokens via Raid. Leonardo enters on Turn 4, converting every token creation into a team-wide +1/+1 counter trigger once per turn. The deck compounds this board advantage with counter multipliers such as Corpsejack Menace, High Score, and Arcade Cabinet, while top-end threats like Leatherhead, Iron Gator, Raphael, the Muscle, and Shredder, Shadow Master scale damage output into a multi-turn combat finish. Interaction features flexible removal spells and asymmetric board wipes like Wave Goodbye, while cards like Continue? and Together Forever provide resilience against board wipes.
