Deck overview

The deck's central plan is to assemble Garth One-Eye, Deadeye Navigator, and a haste source, most efficiently Temur Ascendancy. Haste lets Garth activate immediately. Garth makes a Black Lotus copy, the Lotus is cast and sacrificed for three mana, and two mana blinks Garth. Blinking resets which names Garth may choose, creating a repeatable mana surplus. The surplus becomes unlimited after repetition, and Shivan Dragon copies provide an immediate hasty kill. Temur Ascendancy also draws cards from the Dragons. This is a powerful ceiling, but the deck has no broad tutor package and must find several expensive singleton cards. Its early Leyline effects and interaction can disrupt opponents, but they do not form a consistent lock. The deck is therefore a general-power build with a late, fragile combo finish rather than a cEDH list. If the primary engine is disrupted, recovery is slow and the deck has no comparable independent finisher.
