Saved commander deck
Hit-Monkey
Aggressively ramp out Hit-Monkey on turn 1-2, stacking power doubling, deathtouch, and trample via equipment and cheap pump spells to achieve lethal 21 commander damage in 1-2 swings while using fight effects as deathtouch-powered single-target removal.
Prompt: Build a high-power (8/10, non-cEDH) Mono-Green Commander deck with Hit-Monkey (MSC #723) as commander. Focus on aggressive Voltron and winning through commander damage. Prioritize Equipment, Auras, +1/+1 counters, power boosts/doubling, trample, block manipulation, and reliable ways to connect. Deathtouch + trample is especially valuable. Include fight effects that make Hit-Monkey or your creatures fight opposing creatures, using deathtouch as removal. Add combat-damage payoffs for cards, mana, Treasures, counters, etc., plus double strike, extra combats, or damage multiplication where possible. Avoid redundant hexproof/haste protection; protect against wipes, sacrifice, and non-targeted removal. Add fast ramp for turn 2-3 Hit-Monkey, draw, removal, recursion, and 35-37 lands. Prefer newer cards, including MSC. Exactly 100 legal Mono-Green cards. Explain game plan, best buffs, fight cards, evasion, protection, fastest 21-damage lines, and weaknesses.
