Strategy
Joven and Chandler is a scrappy artifact-destruction engine wrapped in a combat-focused red creature. The backup mechanic lets you pump a target creature (including itself) with +1/+1 counters while passing haste down, setting up an aggressive early game. Once Joven starts swinging, you're forcing opponents to sacrifice their best artifacts every turn—mana rocks, utility pieces, even key combo components. The deck wants to go wide with token generators and anthem effects to turn that backup pump into a real clock, while your artifact destruction keeps everyone else's board manageable. You're not trying to be a tempo deck; you're a tempo-plus-disruption strategy that punishes opponents for playing value artifacts.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip the expensive red dual lands and run basics with Rugged Highlands or Cinder Glade; Boros Charm and Impact Tremors are pricey, so swap in Warstorm Surge and cheaper pump spells like Titan's Strength.
