Deck overview

This mono-red goad/extra-combat build is helmed by Kratos, God of War, who supplies universal haste and double strike to the entire army. The deck's primary plan is to deploy a damage-doubling enchantment (Gratuitous Violence, Dictate of the Twin Gods, Fiendish Duo), then attack with a creature that generates extra combat steps (Port Razer, Scourge of the Throne). Because Kratos grants haste, those creatures attack the turn they come down, and the extra-combat chain resolves inside a single turn. The goad package (Disrupt Decorum, Vengeful Ancestor, Frontier Warmonger) forces opponents' creatures to attack elsewhere, buying time while the deck assembles its damage multipliers. There are no infinite combos; victory comes from overwhelming combat damage in one explosive turn.
