Deck overview

Sergeant John Benton leads a high-velocity Selesnya stax and combo deck. John Benton enters combat immediately with haste and trample, drawing bursts of cards to break parity on severe resource denial. You deploy disruptive hatebears and artifacts like Rule of Law, Archon of Emeria, and Winter Orb to strangle opponent mana and spell counts while your draw engine stays fully active. After locking down the board and silencing interaction with Grand Abolisher or Ranger-Captain of Eos, you assemble an instant-win combination. You finish games using Heliod, Sun-Crowned with Walking Ballista, generate infinite mana with Selvala, Heart of the Wilds and Umbral Mantle, or resolve Armageddon to eliminate opposing answers.
