Iroh, Firebending Instructor

Gameplan

Iroh is a mono-red aggro general who turns every attack into an alpha strike, pumping your whole board +1/+1 each time he swings. Deploy cheap creatures and token-makers early, curve into Iroh, then attack into open boards while extra-combat and haste effects multiply his anthem trigger. You close fast by overwhelming the table before they stabilize.

Key Cards

• Aggravated Assault — Untaps your team for extra combats, stacking Iroh's attack trigger for repeated team pumps.
• Goblin Bombardment — Sacrifice outlet that converts your wide, buffed board into reach and finishing damage.
• Krenko, Mob Boss — Floods the board with tokens that all get bigger when Iroh swings.
• Impact Tremors — Turns your token-heavy go-wide draws into incremental, removal-proof damage.
• Hellkite Charger — Provides additional combat steps that retrigger Iroh's anthem and finish the table.
• Fervor — Gives haste so freshly cast attackers immediately benefit from the attack pump.

Upgrade Path

Add extra-combat enablers (Aggravated Assault, Hellkite Charger, Combat Celebration) and haste sources to maximize triggers, then bolster the token engine with Krenko, Hordeling Outburst, and Purphoros, God of the Forge for resilient go-wide damage. Improve mana with fast rocks and red rituals, and shore up card flow with Outpost Siege, Theater of Horrors, and Wheel of Misfortune so you refuel after wipes.
