Deck overview

This mono-green stompy deck is led by Radagast of Rhosgobel, who grants the first creature spell cast each turn flash and a two-mana discount. This ability transforms a traditional green midrange strategy into an instant-speed flash engine. By deploying two-mana ramp on Turn 2, the deck consistently casts Radagast on Turn 3. On Turn 4, it establishes permanent draw engines such as Elemental Bond, Garruk's Uprising, or Guardian Project. Radagast then enables casting discounted high-power creatures on each opponent's turn, refilling the hand continuously while sidestepping sorcery-speed sweepers. By Turn 5, the deck establishes an overwhelming board presence with power multipliers like Railway Brawler, Unnatural Growth, and Surrak and Goreclaw. On Turn 6, it finishes the game through massive trample damage via Craterhoof Behemoth, Tyvar, the Pummeler, or Return of the Wildspeaker, easily overwhelming all three opponents simultaneously.
