Leonardo: The Hamato Clan (TMNT Only) (duplicated from bobbymaximus) by LafcBanger3252

Deck overview

This 5-color deck is led by Leonardo, the Balance, combining Ninja, Mutant, and Turtle tribal synergies with a robust +1/+1 counter and token engine. The deck curves low-cost token generators like April O'Neil, Live on the Scene, Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11, and Donatello, the Brains into Leonardo on Turn 4. Once Leonardo is active, every token created places +1/+1 counters across your entire creature army. The deck transitions into a lethal clock on Turn 6 through Leonardo's 5-color activated ability—granting menace, trample, and lifelink—or by dropping catastrophic payoffs like All Will Be One, Raphael, the Muscle, and Triumph of the Hordes. Card advantage is maintained through engines such as Mikey & Leo, Chaos & Order and Trouble in Pairs, while asymmetric sweepers like Wave Goodbye clear opposing blockers. It delivers a resilient, high-synergy combat game plan capable of eliminating the table by Turn 8.
