The Commander

Haste

{2}{G}, {T}: Target creature you control fights another target creature. This ability costs {2} less to activate if it targets two creatures you control.

If a creature you control being dealt damage causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Guide

Gameplan

Wayta turns combat damage and fights into a value engine. You build a board of beefy creatures with bite/fight triggers and damage-payoff permanents, then use Wayta's repeatable fight (often for just {G}) to trigger those abilities twice while removing opposing blockers. The deck snowballs through doubled triggers and overwhelms with hasty, oversized attackers.

Strengths

  • Repeatable, cheap removal/fight engine that doubles your damage-based triggers
  • Haste lets Wayta and friends apply pressure immediately
  • Naya's access to huge creatures, ramp, and fight tribal synergies
  • Doubles powerful triggers like Vigor, Toski, and bite payoffs for explosive value

Weaknesses

  • Heavily reliant on Wayta staying on the board; weak to repeated removal
  • Fighting can backfire, losing your own creatures to deathtouch/big bodies
  • Slow without an early board of creatures to fight or buff
  • Doubled triggers do nothing if you lack damage-payoff permanents

Key Cards

  • Vigor — Damage dealt to your creatures becomes +1/+1 counters, and Wayta doubles the trigger so fights pump your team enormously.
  • Toski, Bearer of Secrets — Each combat damage trigger draws a card, and Wayta doubles it for relentless card advantage.
  • Pathbreaker Ibex — Turns your oversized fighters into a one-shot Overrun-style kill.
  • Bloodthirster — Combat damage grants extra combat steps, and Wayta doubles the trigger for repeated attacks.
  • Soul of New Phyrexia — Provides indestructibility so your creatures win fights and survive doubled damage.

Upgrade Path

Add more damage-trigger payoffs (Vigor, Toski, Hunting Velociraptor, Polyraptor) so every fight generates maximum value, and include protection like Heroic Intervention and Lightning Greaves to keep Wayta active. Improve mana with Naya dual lands and fast ramp (Birds of Paradise, Cultivate, Sakura-Tribe Elder), then top with finishers like Craterhoof Behemoth and combat-step loops via Aggravated Assault plus Sword of Feast and Famine for a clean kill.
