Deck overview

This Gruul stompy deck is commanded by Roxanne, Starfall Savant, focusing on aggressive mana acceleration, artifact token synergy, and overwhelming combat finishes. The early game establishes acceleration through 1–2 CMC dorks and land ramp to cast Roxanne by Turn 4. Roxanne immediately generates Meteorite tokens that bolt opposing utility creatures and tap for two mana of any color. By Turn 5, the doubled mana engine casts massive threats such as Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus, Etali, Primal Conqueror, Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant, and Last March of the Ents. The deck closes the game on Turn 6 by trampling over blockers using power doublers or chaining extra combat phases via Karlach, Fury of Avernus, Moraug, Fury of Akoum, or an infinite combat loop with Aggravated Assault and Old Gnawbone. While highly resilient to single-target removal thanks to robust recursion and high threat density, the deck remains vulnerable to well-timed board sweepers and mass exile effects.
