Character Background
Overpowering Attack is a red sorcery that converts a single successful strike into uninterrupted follow‑through: untap all creatures that attacked and, if cast in your main phase, grant an additional combat phase then another main phase. It best supports an aggressive/tempo plan — think repeated damage windows to close out opponents or to pile on combat triggers — while also fitting into combo lines that need multiple attack steps. Build around reliable Assassin damage (or an Assassin commander) and evasion: include cheap evasive attackers, haste sources, and double‑strike/damage‑on‑attack creatures so you can pay the cheaper freerunning cost (2R) consistently. Specific synergies include anthem effects to amplify the second swing, pump spells to convert untapped attackers into lethal damage, and cards that trigger when creatures deal combat damage to players. Play it after an opening hit to surprise the table with a second, decisive combat or to chain attack triggers for value — timing and a low curve are key.
