: Pavel Maliki gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
Pavel Maliki is a Rakdos firebreathing beater: pump him with for unbounded power and connect for commander damage or huge swings. The deck plays aggressively, ramping into Pavel, loading him with evasion and protection, and pouring mana into his +1/+0 ability to kill in a swing or two. Treat games as a damage race backed by removal and recursion to keep your one threat online.
Lean hard into evasion and protection—Whispersilk Cloak, the Swords, Lightning Greaves—so Pavel reliably connects and survives removal. Add mana acceleration and rituals (Dockside Extortionist, Jeska's Will, Mana Geyser) to fuel both his cast and pump in one turn, plus damage doublers like Berserk and Fireshrieker for instant kills. Round out with top-tier Rakdos removal and recursion (Feldon, Phyrexian Reclamation) to ensure you always have a threat and an open lane.
