Kellan, Planar Trailblazer

Kellan is a scrappy little creature that grows through combat and rewards you for dealing damage. The core idea is to pump mana into Kellan's activated abilities to transform it from Scout into Detective (unlocking card advantage by exiling and playing library cards), then into Rogue with double strike. Once you've got double strike going, you're dealing commander damage quickly while filtering through your deck with each hit. The deck wins by turning Kellan into a lean, mean, card-advantage machine that both pressures opponents and fills your hand with action.

You'll want to build around making Kellan evasive and hard to block—think unblockable creatures, menace, or just raw evasion. Pair this with mana acceleration so you can protect your commander and quickly level up the transformation. Red's good at pumping creatures and making them harder to deal with, so lean into that identity. Fill the rest of the deck with interaction to protect Kellan and utility creatures that synergize with your aggressive game plan.
