Deck overview

This deck is a mono-red combo and aggressive strategy centered around Godo, Bandit Warlord. The primary objective is to accelerate rapidly into Godo using premier artifact fast mana and explosive red rituals. When Godo enters the battlefield, his ability puts Helm of the Host directly into play. Equipping the Helm to Godo triggers at the beginning of combat to create a non-legendary copy of Godo with haste. Attacking with the token triggers an additional combat phase and untaps all attacking Samurai, which causes Helm to trigger again in each subsequent combat. This creates an unbounded loop of combat phases and hasty attackers that eliminates all three opponents in a single turn. Supported by secondary infinite combos like Dualcaster Mage plus Twinflame and disruption from Blood Moon, the deck operates with extreme speed and lethal focus.
