War never Changes by Humanissue

Format: Commander

Commander: Ares, God of War

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Ares, God of War fronts a Rakdos attack-sacrifice deck. The primary plan is to turn hasty or token creatures sideways, then sacrifice them after combat damage to trigger drain, card draw, and treasure generation while Ares returns the attacker to hand for reuse. Secondary paths are aristocrat grinding through Blood Artist, Judith, and Mayhem Devil, plus extra-combat surges using Breath of Fury or Full Throttle. Ares is the engine that provides repeatable recursion for attackers; there is no hidden commander. The deck is aggressive but flexible, combining combat pressure with sacrifice-based attrition.
