Luke Cage, Hero for Hire

Luke Cage is a straightforward red aggro commander that generates Treasure tokens to fuel explosive plays. Every combat you attack, you get mana acceleration baked into your turn sequence, letting you cast bigger threats and upgrades faster than your opponents. The strategy revolves around turning those Treasures into spell velocity: ramp into payoff cards that multiply your damage or create more tokens, then swing in hard with a growing army or a pumped-up commander. You're essentially playing red aggression with a mana advantage built into your tempo.

Your core gameplan is to establish Luke as an early threat, attack every turn to generate Treasures, and use that extra mana to cast combat-relevant spells, equipment, or effects that scale your damage output. Think of Treasures as temporary but reliable acceleration that pushes you ahead on both resources and board presence. You win by dealing commander damage or swinging with an overwhelming number of tokens and threats before opponents stabilize.
