Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder

Gameplan

Mr. Orfeo turns one big attacker into a one-shot kill: each combat you double a creature's power, and with double strike or trample that math snowballs into lethal commander/general damage fast. Ramp into a beefy threat, swing, double its power, and convert that into a knockout—ideally with evasion or a second double-strike multiplier.

Key Cards

• Rampaging Baloths — Generates trampling beaters, but better as a body for Orfeo to double into a haymaker.
• Rancor — Cheap, recurring trample enabler that pushes doubled damage straight through blockers.
• Berserkers' Onslaught — Grants double strike so Orfeo's doubling effectively quadruples your attacker's damage.
• Xenagos, God of Revels — Stacks another power double plus haste, turning any creature into instant lethal.
• Triumph of the Hordes — Combines with the power double for an easy infect one-shot across the table.
• Lightning Greaves — Protects your doubled threat from spot removal so the kill resolves.

Upgrade Path

Lean into double strike and trample enablers (Berserkers' Onslaught, Rancor, Embercleave) so the power doubling translates into unblockable lethal damage, and add protection like Heroic Intervention and Lightning Greaves to keep your key attacker alive. Tighten the mana base with fast ramp (Sol Ring, signets, Cultivate) to deploy threats earlier, and consider an infect package for the lowest-risk one-shot. Round it out with reanimation/recursion (Eternal Witness, Victimize) so removed threats come right back.
