Commander deckG
Hit-Monkey
Aggressive mono-green Voltron strategy leveraging deathtouch, trample, fight spells, and massive power-doublers to quickly deliver 21 commander damage and clear blockers efficiently.
Asked for“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.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
