Samut, Hazoret's Champion

Samut is a straightforward haste lord that turns your entire team sideways immediately. This is a red aggro shell that wants to pack creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects—especially the new double-faced prepared cards from Reality Fracture that trigger immediately when they land, then give you repeatable spell value for the rest of the game. Think of her as the glue that makes your creatures dangerous on turn two, letting cards like Stingcaster Mage, Craterclaw Colossus, and the prepared creatures punch through defenses before opponents stabilize.

Your gameplan is to curve low and fast, playing creatures that reward haste and early attacks. The prepared mechanic is perfect here: creatures come down ready to attack, trigger their ETB effects right away, then provide spell copies in later turns. Samut's anthem makes even small bodies threatening, and haste means you're often swinging for lethal before targeted removal can slow you down. You'll win through aggressive combat damage, ideally closing games by turns 5–7 before your opponents assemble blockers or boardwipes.

Fill the remaining slots with classic red tempo: cheap haste creatures (Dragon's Rage Channeler, Monastery Swiftspear), lords and anthem effects (Fervent Champion, Embercleave), and interaction that protects your army (Lightning Bolt, Unholy Heat). The deck is naturally fast and doesn't require a ton of complex sequencing—just play creatures, attack, and count to 20.
