Deck overview

This deck is a Gruul tribal aggro strategy led by Kibo, Uktabi Prince. The game plan revolves around giving all players Banana tokens, then punishing opponents when those artifacts enter the graveyard. As opponents sacrifice their Bananas for mana or have their key artifacts destroyed by cards like Gorilla Shaman, Ancient Grudge, and Vandalblast, Kibo places +1/+1 counters across your Ape and Monkey creatures. The deck translates this growing board into rapid combat pressure using evasion and haste from Kodama of the West Tree and Rhythm of the Wild. High-impact creatures like Kogla, the Titan Ape and Silverback Elder provide repeatable removal and pressure, while protection spells like Heroic Intervention keep key threats alive.
