$220.00

This mono-red Commander deck is built around Tannuk, Steadfast Second, emphasizing explosive combat phases, damage amplification, and artifact-supported value engines. The list is designed to pressure the table through aggressive creature deployment while converting combat and damage into card advantage, mana bursts, and decisive board swings. Every component reinforces a cohesive, proactive game plan that rewards precise sequencing and timing.

Deck Overview

This build functions as a combat-driven midrange engine with artifact synergies and damage payoffs. Large, high-impact creatures and extra combat effects define the deck’s pacing, while red’s burst mana and looting effects maintain momentum. Artifact recursion and duplication elements provide resilience and scaling power into longer games.

Key Strategic Elements

Explosive Combat Pressure

The deck leans heavily into aggressive combat with threats such as Drakuseth, Maw of Flames, Scourge of the Throne, Ilharg, the Raze-Boar, and Etali, Primal Storm. Extra combat and attack-trigger synergies allow Tannuk to consistently apply pressure and punish opponents for leaving openings.

Damage as a Resource

Direct and indirect damage is leveraged for both control and value. Cards like Chandra’s Ignition, Heartless Hidetsugu, Chain Reaction, and Blasphemous Act allow the deck to reset or swing the board while advancing its own win conditions.

Artifact Value and Recursion

Artifacts form a secondary engine, with pieces such as Panharmonicon, Helm of the Host, Conjurer’s Closet, and Spine of Ish Sah providing repeatable value. Buried Ruin and Coveted Jewel reinforce staying power after interaction or board wipes.

Mana Bursts and Card Flow

Red’s explosive mana production is highlighted through Mana Geyser, Neheb, the Eternal, Thran Dynamo, and Gilded Lotus. Card selection and draw are handled through effects like Faithless Looting, Big Score, Knollspine Dragon, and Sandstone Oracle, keeping the deck stocked with threats.

Closing the Game

The deck converts advantage into wins through overwhelming combat, repeated damage triggers, and artifact-enabled scaling threats such as Triplicate Titan, Myr Battlesphere, and Threefold Thunderhulk. Utility lands like Rogue’s Passage ensure key creatures can finish games even through stalled boards.

Build Philosophy

This deck is intentionally tuned for cohesion, pressure, and consistency. Each card supports either combat dominance, damage conversion, or artifact-based value, ensuring no slot is incidental. The mana base and ramp suite are balanced to support high-impact plays while maintaining smooth progression from early pressure into late-game inevitability.
