Magic the Gathering Planechase Precon Strike Force Deck

Strike Force

The "Strike Force" deck comes out of the gate quickly to deliver an endless stream of pain. Hasty creatures, fiery burn spells, and vicious double-striking monsters will make short work of all who oppose you.

Hit hard and fast with a swarm of small creatures. Thanks to double strike, Boros Swiftblade and Hearthfire Hobgoblin fight better than most creatures their size. Cards that boost power like Reckless Charge and Glory of Warfare are doubly effective with them. Follow up with powerful midgame bombs: Flametongue Kavu gets rid of troublesome creatures, and Menacing Ogre delivers a hasty beatdown. Late game you can turn things over to powerhouse creatures like Rorix Bladewing and Razia, Boros Archangel to finish off whoever is left.

Whenever you come out this strong, you're sure to inspire opponents to team up against you. Luckily, you're prepared. Focus your burn spells on one enemy at a time to quickly knock each one out of the game. Turn your opponents' armies against them with a well-timed Insurrection and you can defeat one, two - or maybe even all - of your opponents in one big attack! Or if things get out of hand, you can resort to using Akroma's Vengeance to clear the board.

Be sure to planeswalk when you need to turn up the heat. Inside the Stronghold Furnace, damage is doubly effective. Likewise, the Izzet Steam Maze makes a copy of each deadly burn spell you cast. At the Academy at Tolaria West, an empty hand is not just okay, it's the quickest way to draw seven cards.
