Brawn, Amadeus Cho

Brawn, Amadeus Cho is a low-cost card-draw engine with explosive scaling potential. You're looking to fill your hand quickly with cheap cantrips, card draw, and effects that reward having cards in hand. Once you've built a modest grip, Brawn's power-up ability turns him into a serious threat — you can dump mana into him and watch his power and toughness skyrocket based on your hand size. This creates a two-pronged strategy: maximize hand size through draw effects and card advantage, then weaponize those cards by channeling them into Brawn's +1/+1 counters. The deck wins through commander damage, turning your resource advantage into raw power.

The core gameplan involves cheap card draw (cantrips, wheels, hand-refill effects) paired with the Marvel Super Heroes cards that synergize with hand size and creatures. The Ten Rings becomes a pseudo-tutor at the end step, The Mind Stone blinks permanents for value, and hand-fill effects like Super Intelligence or Avengers Assemble! keep your grip fat. Use Brawn's low entry cost to hold mana for his power-up ability, then attack for commander damage once you've made him a legitimate threat. This is midrange tempo that pivots between threat and pressure.
