Deck overview

This deck is a high-velocity Gruul turbo combo deck commanded by Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers. The primary strategy leverages format-ceiling fast mana and explosive rituals to cast the 7-mana commander on Turn 2 or 3. Because the commander possesses haste and an attack trigger that puts a creature from the library directly onto the battlefield tapped and attacking, the creature suite is strictly curated to eight game-ending hits. Cheating into play Bloodthirster, Port Razer, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, Raphael, Tag Team Tough, Old Gnawbone, or Blightsteel Colossus initiates a chain of additional combat phases on the same turn. Manual extra-combat spells and the Aggravated Assault plus Old Gnawbone infinite loop ensure that all three opponents are eliminated during a single explosive turn cycle with zero response cycles allowed.
