Rasaad yn Bashir

Rasaad yn Bashir flips the script on combat damage by making your creatures deal damage equal to their toughness instead of power. This means you want to build a deck full of creatures with high toughness—think walls, defenders, and beefy blockers that normally sit back. The real payoff comes when you're attacking with the initiative, which doubles your creatures' toughness and turns them into serious threats.

Your core gameplan is straightforward: ramp into cheap, high-toughness creatures, take the initiative early (via cards like Initiative cards and effects), then swing in once Rasaad's doubling ability kicks in. A single creature with 4 toughness becomes an 8-damage attacker, and multiple creatures stack up fast. This deck is part combat aggression, part defensive resilience—you're happy blocking with your creatures since they're built to absorb damage anyway.

You'll want to include initiative-granting cards, creature tutors, anthems that boost toughness, and evasion effects to ensure your hits connect. Since you're in white, you have access to board wipes to protect yourself, plus cards that reward you for having lots of creatures in play.
