Kratos, God of War

$51.40Legendary Creature — God Warrior
Mono-red aggro that gives everything haste and punishes any player whose creatures stay home at end of turn.
Read more
Kratos is a 2/3 double striker for {R}{R}{R} that gives all creatures haste. At the beginning of each player's end step, he deals damage to that player equal to the number of their creatures that didn't attack that turn. Opponents either swing into each other or take damage for holding back blockers. The deck plays fast creatures and equipment, and uses Kratos himself as a commander damage threat, since double strike doubles every pump.
In the recorded games, Kratos usually came down early and the deck played straight aggro. Lightning Greaves kept him safe and let him swing right away, and one big double strike attack with trample hit for 12. One unusual list even ran Urza's Tower and the other Tron lands to ramp into its threats faster. The end step trigger changed how the whole table played, since nobody wanted to keep creatures back. The weakness was the usual one for mono-red aggro: once opponents stabilized or out-built the board, the deck had little card advantage to keep up.
