Deck overview

This Naya deck is a forced-combat and political aggro strategy commanded by Gahiji, Honored One. Its primary plan is to accelerate mana into protective pillowfort permanents like Ghostly Prison, Crawlspace, and Norn's Annex, then unleash mass goad effects such as Marisi, Breaker of the Coil, Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer, Disrupt Decorum, and Taunt from the Rampart. Gahiji rewards and amplifies attacks directed at opponents by giving attacking creatures +2/+0, turning opponents' own armies into lethal weapons against one another. High-impact card engines like Trouble in Pairs, Firemane Commando, and Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser ensure steady card flow as combat triggers continuously resolve across the table. Once opponents whittle each other down, finishers like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Death Kiss, and Beastmaster Ascension allow the pilot to close the game in 1v1 combat. The deck excels at dictating combat tempo while maintaining a fortified position.
