Deck overview

This deck leverages Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos as a lethal, self-accelerating threat that circulates the table every turn cycle. Built with fast mana, aggressive damage enhancers, and forced-combat mechanics, the strategy accelerates Alexios out on Turn 2. Because Alexios gains a +1/+1 counter and haste on every player's upkeep and must attack each combat, damage escalates rapidly. Opponents are forced to attack each other, tearing through life totals while sparing you. Stax elements like Blood Moon and Silent Arbiter prevent opponents from developing or defending against the onslaught. Equipment and damage doublers ensure opponents are eliminated via commander damage within two turn cycles. The deck transitions into backup threats like Slicer, Hired Muscle or infinite combats via Aggravated Assault when primary lines face disruption.
