Deck overview

This mono-red deck is built around Kratos, God of War as a relentless damage engine. Kratos provides global haste and an end-step drain that punishes opponents for not attacking, while the deck amplifies that damage through redundant multipliers like Gratuitous Violence, Fiery Emancipation, and City on Fire. Extra combat steps from Combat Celebrant, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, Port Razer, World at War, and Seize the Day allow Kratos to attack multiple times per turn, stacking the drain and combat damage into a fast kill. Treasures and rituals (Jeska's Will, Seething Song) accelerate the curve, and equipment like Basilisk Collar and Shadowspear provide lifelink and hexproof-breaking reach. The deck has no tutors, so its primary path relies on drawing into its critical pieces, but the explosive damage amplification can end games out of nowhere.
