This red-focused deck combines fast aggression with clever equipment synergy to generate repeated value and pressure.

At the center are Heartfire Hero and Emberheart Challenger, both of which reward frequent equipment attachments—boosting stats and triggering powerful abilities.

Lavaspur Boots serves as the key enabler, bouncing between creatures to repeatedly trigger “whenever equipped” effects in a single turn. The deck leans into this interaction with Diamond Pick-Axe, Swords of Forge & Frontier / Once & Future / Wealth & Power, and other equipment to fuel damage output and utility.

Support spells like Felonious Rage, Count on Luck, and Full Throttle increase tempo and card velocity, while Impact Tremors adds passive pressure by punishing opponents for every creature entering the battlefield—particularly effective with token generators like Raging Battle Mouse and Manifold Mouse.

Callous Sell-Sword, Vengeful Possession, and Twisted Fealty create sacrifice loops or temporary control swings to eliminate threats or deal burst damage.

Finisher options include Kellan, Planar Trailblazer and Screaming Nemesis, with Great Train Heist providing a sudden tempo swing.

The mana base is built for consistency, with Rockface Village, Fountainport, and Three Tree City helping to enable multi-color spells when needed.

Strengths:

• Strong early aggression with combo payoff.
