Strategy
Stilt-Man is a theft-focused commander that turns your Villains into a control engine. Every time your Villains connect in combat, you temporarily steal your opponents' noncreature permanents—artifacts, enchantments, planeswalkers—locking them down until end of your next turn while preventing sacrifice shenanigans. This fits perfectly in a Villain-heavy red deck that aims to pressure opponents while dismantling their resources one combat phase at a time.
Your gameplan revolves around assembling a small army of efficient Villains (many new to the MSH set) and attacking to trigger Stilt-Man's theft ability repeatedly. You'll steal mana rocks, utility artifacts, and key enchantments, temporarily neutering your opponents' game plans. The deck doesn't need to kill with combat damage alone; controlling their best permanents creates a soft lock that eventually tips the board in your favor. Think of it as a red control deck wearing a Villain suit.
