Lu Bu, Master-at-Arms

Lu Bu is a straightforward aggressive commander that wants to hit the table fast and deal damage before opponents can stabilize. With haste and horsemanship, he's immediately threatening—horsemanship especially matters in multiplayer where most decks won't run the answer creatures needed to block him. Your game plan is to build a deck full of aggressive creatures and pump spells that turn Lu Bu and friends into a damage machine, then swing for the win.

The deck leans heavily into red's strengths: cheap efficient creatures, combat tricks, and direct damage to smooth out the race. Cards that grant extra combat steps, temporary boosts, or that punish blocking synergize beautifully with horsemanship. You're not trying to go infinite or pull off complex combos—just overwhelm the table with a focused, efficient offense before the game goes long. This is a race deck, plain and simple.
