Ace, Fearless Rebel

Ace, Fearless Rebel is a scrappy green fighter who gets stronger by sacrificing artifacts and making enemy creatures fight. Your core plan is to attack with Ace while building up a small artifact package—think mana rocks, treasure tokens, and sacrifice outlets—so you can trigger Nitro-9 repeatedly. Each activation pumps Ace and forces an opponent's creature into combat with her, whittling down their board while you grow. The deck wins through commander damage as Ace snowballs with counters, or by attrition as you systematically remove blockers.

Since Ace rewards artifact sacrifice, you'll lean into Gruul-adjacent sacrifice synergies: cheap artifacts like Ornithopter or Ichor Wellspring, token generators like Treasure Chest, and cards that double down on the fight effect for value. Green's ramp and creature tutors help you find Ace quickly and set up explosive turns. The Doctor's companion mechanic means you can pair her with a Doctor commander for hilarious flavor, but she's perfectly functional as a solo general in the 99 as well.

This is an efficient, straightforward deck at its core—attack, sac artifacts, grow bigger, remove threats. It doesn't require infinite combos or complex sequencing, making it approachable for newer players while still rewarding clever artifact selection and timing.
