Deck overview

This Gruul turbo deck leverages Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers as a rapid creature-cheat engine from the command zone. The deck features format-ceiling acceleration through fast mana artifacts, sol lands, and red rituals to cast its seven-mana commander on Turn 3. Because Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers has haste and trample, it attacks the turn it enters. The 99 intentionally excludes all small utility creatures and mana dorks, ensuring that every attack trigger flips one of six game-ending bombs: Blightsteel Colossus, Port Razer, Old Gnawbone, Ancient Copper Dragon, Raphael, Tag Team Tough, or Treasonous Ogre. A single attack can eliminate an opponent with infect, chain combats with Port Razer, or produce dozens of Treasures to fuel infinite combat steps alongside Aggravated Assault. The deck defends its explosive turn with free redirection and efficient stack interaction like Deflecting Swat, Veil of Summer, and Pyroblast, closing out the table by Turn 4.
