Take hold of the flame by CHUDLING

Deck overview

This mono-red aggressive deck converts Voltron equipment attachment into wide token swarms and table-wide burn. Piloted by Valduk, Keeper of the Flame, the deck loads low-cost Equipment and Auras onto the commander to generate temporary 3/1 trample Elemental tokens at the beginning of each combat. Instead of relying purely on commander damage, it magnifies these tokens with group-slug burn pieces like Purphoros, God of the Forge and Impact Tremors, alongside aggressive anthems like Shared Animosity. High functional redundancy across cheap artifacts ensures fast starts, while extra combat spells like Relentless Assault and Karlach, Fury of Avernus multiply token generation within a single turn. The deck also includes an infinite combat line using Neheb, the Eternal and Aggravated Assault. Its main vulnerabilities are heavy reliance on Valduk surviving to combat and minimal interaction against opposing combo wins.
