Deck overview

This deck is a five-color midrange combat deck led by the partner pairing of Leonardo, the Balance and Raphael, the Muscle. It leverages Mutant, Ninja, and Turtle creature synergies to combine wide token generation with rapid +1/+1 counter distribution. Leonardo turns every newly created token into a team-wide permanent buff and provides a decisive five-color combat activation granting menace, trample, and lifelink. Raphael acts as a lethal amplifier by doubling all damage dealt by creatures with counters, turning modest boards into game-ending threats. The list reinforces this plan with powerful scaling pieces like Doubling Season and Corpsejack Menace, alongside asymmetric board breakers such as Wave Goodbye. While the deck excels at building formidable board presence and overwhelming opponents through multiplied combat damage, its reliance on creature-based combat leaves it vulnerable to well-timed sweepers and exile removal.
