Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Izzet combat deck led by Karlach, Fury of Avernus and Sword Coast Sailor. The strategy focuses on taking multiple combat steps each turn while using Sword Coast Sailor to make Karlach unblockable against the player with the highest life total. Early turns focus on deploying mana rocks, utility equipment, and the Background enchantment. On Turn 4, Karlach enters the battlefield. Beginning on Turn 5, Karlach attacks twice per turn, dealing at least ten unblockable commander damage each round. Equipment such as Two-Handed Axe, Commander's Plate, and Lizard Blades rapidly accelerate this clock into one-shot commander damage knockouts. Combat-triggered card draw engines like Bident of Thassa and Reconnaissance Mission draw multiple cards per turn to maintain gas. Meanwhile, a dense suite of cheap counterspells and protective equipment shields Karlach from opposing removal. High-impact dragons and additional extra-combat spells provide redundant pressure to close out the game by Turn 7.
