...and then he Zeus-ed all over the board!

Summary

A monored combatcontrol / voltron deck that is materially stronger and harsher than a normal Bracket 1 table expects. It can seize combat with goad, attack taxes, and damage amplification, then end games through commander damage, extra combats, or a niche infect line. The ceiling is high, but the floor is exposed by very low counted draw, no counted spot removal, and a heavy dependence on combat plus artifacts/equipment.
