Deck overview

This deck uses Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos to turn the entire table into a lethal combat arena. Because Alexios changes controllers on each player's upkeep, gains a +1/+1 counter, gains haste, and must attack someone other than you, he attacks four times per turn cycle. The deck supports this aggressive engine by attaching equipment and auras that grant unblockability, damage doubling, and protection. Equipment attached to Alexios remains equipped even when opponents control him, meaning combat triggers like Mask of Memory and Beamtown Beatstick reward you directly on every combat step. Supporting pieces like Smoke and Silent Arbiter break parity by locking down opposing armies while Alexios untaps automatically and swings unhindered. While the deck lacks tutors and relies on natural draws, its high density of protection pieces and damage amplifiers enables table-wide commander damage eliminations by Turn 6.
