Loki, God of Lies

Loki, God of Lies is all about stealing creatures temporarily and turning them into threats you control. Every single-target spell you cast—whether it's a combat trick, removal, or utility spell—triggers Loki to borrow an opponent's creature, untap it, and give it haste, letting you swing with it immediately. The deck wants to load up on cheap, efficient spells that target single creatures: burn spells, pump effects, combat tricks, even cantrips that happen to target. You're essentially playing a tempo-theft strategy where you're making opponents' own best creatures do the work for you, swinging for lethal before returning them at end of turn.

The core gameplan revolves around velocity and flexibility. You'll run a mix of instant-speed tricks so you can steal creatures during combat or even as a combat response, plus sorcery-speed theft effects that set up explosive turns. Cards like Loki's Scepter and Mjölnir double down on the theft theme while providing additional value. Equipment like Captain America's Shield and Vibranium Strike Gauntlets can be slapped on stolen creatures for devastating attacks. Because you're in mono-red, your win condition is pure combat damage—you're stealing the biggest threats, pumping them further, and bashing through for the kill.
