Find a way in
Keep two to four lands plus a dork, land enchantment, rock, or two-mana land spell. Every good heist starts with access.
The salvage run
Four steps from scavenger to warlord.
Guard the collector
Bello is kill-on-sight. Boots before bard is often the correct ordering; the hoard is inert without him.
Drag home treasure
Lead with a ring, crystal, robot, vehicle, or other four-mana object that draws cards or generates value.
Weaponize the pile
Wait until the attack produces cards or lethal pressure; then add one multiplier and turn the junkyard sideways.
Opening hand
Seven from the ninety-nine.
The waking hoard
Junk before raccoon.
Weapons after raccoon.
During your turn, each non-Equipment artifact and non-Aura enchantment with mana value four or greater becomes a 4/4 Elemental with indestructible, haste, and a card-draw trigger on combat damage.
Combat console
How hard does the junkyard hit?
A clean estimate for unblocked Bello-animated 4/4s. It deliberately ignores commander damage, printed creature power, Kessig Wolf Run, and combat tricks.
12combat damage before blockers
Keep the collector alive
Protection is part of the curve.
Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Delighted Halfling, and Plaza of Heroes make the first cast safer.
Legolas’s Quick Reflexes and Tamiyo’s Safekeeping punish spot removal without slowing the stage setup.
Heroic Intervention, Deflecting Swat, Veil of Summer, and Asceticism cover the high-leverage windows.
Cast Blasphemous Act on your turn: the animated objects are indestructible while opposing creatures take thirteen.
The complete hoard
Catalog the junkyard.
Select a card for Oracle text and its chosen public art reference.
No performer answered that cue.
The complete haul
100 cards.
Many universes.
One armed landfill.
