Maraxus of Keld

Maraxus of Keld is a unique voltron creature that grows by having more untapped permanents on the battlefield. Your goal is to build a wide board of artifacts, creatures, and lands, then swing in with a massive flyer. The deck leans into artifact synergies and mana acceleration so you can quickly build up a sprawling board state and turn Maraxus into a lethal threat. Since his power scales with untapped permanents, you'll want to avoid tapping things unnecessarily and prioritize instant-speed plays during combat.

The core strategy revolves around playing low-cost creatures and artifacts early, ramping into bigger payoffs, and protecting Maraxus with combat tricks or damage prevention. Cards that create multiple permanents—like Artifact tokens, creature tokens, or land ramp—are especially valuable since they directly feed Maraxus's power. You win by turning Maraxus sideways as a massive attacker, often delivering 15+ power in the mid-game before opponents stabilize.
