Legendary Creature — Human Assassin
Whenever Combustion Man attacks, destroy target permanent unless its controller has Combustion Man deal damage to them equal to his power.
“Forcing engine: attacks demand board wipes or damage taken”
Combustion Man is a forcing engine that puts opponents in a bind: block your 4-power attacker or lose a permanent. Each attack demands a choice, and since you control the power of Combustion Man, you can scale the threat up or down to pressure different targets. The deck wants to lean into evasion and power-boosting effects—unblockable creatures, damage doublers, and anthem effects turn every swing into a threat multiplier. Your gameplan is straightforward: turn Combustion Man sideways, force tough decisions, and gradually dismantle opponent boards while dealing damage. Ramp into him early, protect him with combat tricks, and use the permanent destruction as removal while your commander chips away at life totals.

Skip the pricey power-doublers like Doubling Season and Embercleave; use efficient cantrips like Assault Strobe or Borrowed Time, and ramp with Seething Song or Haste-lords like Embercleave's budget cousins.
