Ryusei, the Falling Star

Ryusei is a flying threat that doubles as a board wipe attached to a body. Your goal is to abuse its death trigger repeatedly—either by repeatedly casting it, sacrificing it for value, or using flicker effects to rebuy the trigger. The deck leans into red's traditional strengths: cheap creatures, aggressive mana acceleration, and ways to recur or repeatedly trigger your commander. You'll fill the early game with mana dorks and velocity, then pivot into threats that force Ryusei to die and reset the board on your terms. This gives you breathing room while chipping in flying damage, building toward commander damage or a swarm of tokens that survive the wipe. Ryusei turns defensive into offensive—you're punching through while erasing blockers.
