Deck overview

Tsagan, Raider Warlord commands an aggressive Mardu deck that blends group slug damage with explosive combat scaling. The game plan focuses on dealing early damage to trigger the Start your engines mechanic and rapidly reach max speed. Tsagan rewards an army of first strike and double strike creatures by granting global power boosts whenever he attacks, transforming low-cost threats into lethal attackers. Burn engines like Razorkin Needlehead and Creeping Bloodsucker ensure steady speed progression each turn while whittling enemy life totals. The deck closes games through overwhelming alpha strikes, damage amplification from Torbran and Mechanized Warfare, and extra combats from All-Out Assault.
