Deck overview

This Mardu aggressive deck is built around Tsagan, Raider Warlord, utilizing a dense package of low-cost first strike and double strike creatures to fuel Tsagan's scaling team-wide power buff. By deploying evasive and efficient one- and two-drops on the opening turns, the deck casts Tsagan on Turn 3 and immediately begins attacking on Turn 4. On Turn 5, damage multipliers such as Blade Historian, Windcrag Siege, or Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar turn small attackers into lethal threats, threatening 30 to 40 damage per combat. The deck backs up this aggressive clock with high-impact protection spells like Flawless Maneuver and Boros Charm, while utilizing proactive stax pieces like Thalia, Heretic Cathar and Voice of Victory to deny opposing interaction. While vulnerable to mass exile sweepers and reliant on natural draws for top-end finishers, it delivers fast, punishing combat pressure that closes games cleanly by Turn 7.
