Heartless Hidetsugu: Group Slugg

Only have time for a short game? Make it shorter. Or, go for a mutual annihilation draw!

Quick Info

• Bracket: 4 (due to the Blood Moon, but IMO this is probably fine at 3.)
• Colors: Mono-Red
• Style/Themes: Group Slug, Damage-Doubling, Stax
• Best for: Timmy
• Potential Salt: 4/5 - I'd make sure everyone else at the table is cool with a fast game if they don't kill Hidetsugu. Just 2 activations makes the game feel like Super Smash Bros Sudden Death. Also, random maindeck Boil, lmao.

Gameplay

Set up some artifact ramp or hate pieces, then get out Hidetsugu. Activate him as many times as possible. Maybe find some damage doublers. If the whole table dies at once, that's a moral victory.

Specific Interactions/Lines

Basilisk Collar is a great way to go from playing for the draw to playing for the win.

If you kill someone with Hidetsugu's Second Rite, they owe you a soda.

Hidetsugu + Neheb is a recipe for a ton of mana.

Powering Down

If you want, you can cut the Blood Moon for some other damage doubler I suppose.
