Avatar Roku, Firebender

Avatar Roku is a mana-generation engine that rewards combat happening at your table. Every time any player attacks—yours or your opponents'—you bank six red mana that doesn't empty at end of step, letting you stockpile resources throughout the turn cycle. This explosive ramp fuels a straightforward game plan: pump your own creatures to lethal with Roku's activated ability, or use that glut of mana to cast spellslinger effects that close out games fast.

The deck wants to be aggressive but patient. Early turns focus on cheap threats and blockers; as combat triggers start stacking, your mana pool grows exponentially. By midgame you're effectively casting multiple spells per turn, turning Roku into a lightning rod at the table. Opponents attacking each other is your best friend—you benefit either way. The deck wins through combat damage, commander damage (Roku itself is a 6/6), or a sudden burst of Gruul-style haymakers funded by accumulated red mana.
