Smash Hit
It’s fun to break stuff! Correction: It’s REALLY, REALLY fun to break stuff!
Smash Hit is a Red/Green deck that just wants to destroy everything! If your opponent has artifacts, enchantments, fliers, or lands, they won’t for long! Have fun playing monsters and smashing things!
A Red-Green control deck that uses removal, and card advantage to answer every threat, grinding down opponents before deploying powerful finishers.

Game Plan
Early Game
Turns 1-2
Prioritize hitting land drops and hold up interaction. Answer the most threatening plays rather than developing proactively.
Mid Game
Turns 3-4
Start transitioning from pure reaction to building card advantage. Identify your path to a win condition while keeping answers open.
Late Game
Turn 5+
Deploy Bookwurm and Terastodon when the opponent's resources are exhausted. Keep interaction mana open even when winning — never tap out unnecessarily.
