Legendary Creature — Minotaur Warrior
Haste Cowards can't block Warriors. Whenever one or more Warriors you control attack a player, target creature that player controls becomes a Coward. Attacking Warriors you control get +X/+0, where X is the number of Cowards your opponents control.
“Warrior-fueled aggro that turns blockers into Cowards and pumps your army.”
Gornog, the Red Reaper is a aggressive Warrior lord that turns your opponents' creatures into Cowards—basically neutering their blockers while buffing your own attackers. The game plan is straightforward: swing out with Warriors early and often, converting blockers into harmless Cowards, then watch your team grow stronger as the Coward count climbs. Since Cowards can't block Warriors, you'll punch through for consistent damage while simultaneously weakening your opponents' defense.
The deck wants to be fast and lean, playing evasive Warriors and token generators that turn sideways every turn. Cards that create multiple Warrior tokens or reward you for attacking are core—think Marauding Raptor, Impact Tremors, or Goblin Instigator effects. You'll win primarily through combat damage, though the synergy between pumped Warriors and a board full of Cowards creates a snowball effect that ends games quickly. It's a straightforward aggro deck that doesn't need complex interaction, making it perfect for casual to mid-power tables.

Skip expensive dual lands—basic Mountains and budget mana accelerators like Llanowar Elves or Goblin Lackey work fine. Replace pricey Warriors with draft commons like Embercleave or Embercrown Awakener.
