Make a Statement

Black/Red Kaldheim Boastful Berserkers

Cleaving Reaper by Victor Adame Minguez

They say you should speak softly and carry a big stick. I say, BETTER TO SPEAK BIG AND TELL THEM WHERE TO STICK IT!

Make a Statement is a highly aggressive Berserker tribal deck fueled by the Boast mechanic. Talk trash, attack often, and when your creatures die, bounce them right back onto the battlefield with graveyard recursion. Token generators and some truly brutal Equipment round out the package.

Use Kardur to goad your opponents’ creatures into the embrace of the Eradicator Valkyrie for a life boost or siphon your opponents’ graveyards to pump up a colossal Vampire Dragon. Don’t forget to save some graveyard recursion for Cinderheart Giant – or pair it with Kardur’s Vicious Return for some truly lethal fireworks. And keep the insults coming!
