Mox strategy
How to Start a Riot is a red instant lesson that grants menace to a creature and pumps all creatures a player controls with +2/+0 until end of turn. Its strengths lie in enabling evasive attacks and boosting offensive pressure in aggressive or token-based decks. It synergizes well with decks focused on wide board presence or those that benefit from multiple creatures striking, such as Gruul or Boros aggro. Key mechanics supported include evasion through menace and combat pump, making it practical for finishing games or pushing through blockers. Best used in decks that aim to capitalize on combat tricks and sudden damage bursts.
