Deck overview

This deck is a mono-red aggressive strategy led by Kratos, God of War, a 2/3 God Warrior with double strike that grants all creatures haste and punishes opponents at their end step for failing to attack. The deck capitalizes on Kratos's inherent combat efficiency by equipping him with powerful weapons such as Commander's Plate, Sword of Feast and Famine, and The Reaver Cleaver, while stacking extra combat phases using Karlach, Fury of Avernus, Port Razer, and World at War. To wear down opposing life totals and maintain combat dominance, the deck runs a group slug package featuring Burning Earth, Zo-Zu the Punisher, and Sulfuric Vortex. This forces opponents into difficult combat choices while Kratos rapidly eliminates players with commander damage.
