Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Naya beatdown list led by Tifa, Martial Artist. The strategy revolves around reaching 7 or more power on attacking creatures to trigger Tifa's combat damage ability, which untaps all creatures and grants an additional combat phase. Rapid mana acceleration on turns 1 and 2 enables an early deployment of Tifa on turn 3. By turn 4, power modifiers like Melee, Bastion Protector, or Tifa's Limit Break push Tifa above the 7-power threshold, unlocking double combat steps that rapidly escalate damage and draw cards through Elemental Bond and Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar. A dense instant-speed protection suite shields key pieces from conventional removal and sweepers. While the deck lacks creature tutors, its extreme redundancy in heavy beaters like Elder Gargaroth and Ghalta, Primal Hunger ensures consistent board pressure and clean table-wide elimination by turn 6.
