Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Raph & Mikey is a big-mana Gruul combat deck built around casting the 7-mana commander early and letting his attack trigger cheat arbitrarily large creatures into play. Rituals, mana rocks, and one-mana land enchantments aim for a turn-3/4 commander. Each attack reveals a creature, so the deck warps around extra-combat damage triggers (Port Razer, Bloodthirster, Raphael) and trigger/damage multipliers (Wulfgar, Roaming Throne, Twinflame Tyrant). Etali and Blightsteel Colossus are alternate finishers: Etali can chain free spells, Blightsteel can poison a player in each combat. The commander's random reveal is both the strength and the main inconsistency; there is no hidden or double-faced commander build here-the deck is committed to Raph and Mikey.
