Raphael, Ninja Destroyer, Legendary creature — mutant ninja turtle, designed by Fajareka Setiawan first released in Jan, 2026 in the set Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
Raphael, Ninja Destroyer fits best in a mono-red or Gruul (red‑green) midrange/aggro deck that can both force combat and exploit his Enrage ability for explosive mana turns—especially alongside damage-based sweepers like *Blasphemous Act*, *Chain Reaction*, or repeatable pingers such as *Cunning Sparkmage*, letting you generate massive red mana to cast big follow-ups in the same turn (e.g., *Comet Storm*, *Crackle with Power*, or large creatures). He also synergizes with damage-doublers like *Torbran, Thane of Red Fell* or *Fiery Emancipation* to multiply mana output. However, at 2RR with no evasion or protection and a “must be blocked” clause, he’s vulnerable to chump blocks and removal, making him weaker than established four-drops like *Torbran, Thane of Red Fell* (more consistent damage boost), *Hazoret the Fervent* (resilient and immediately impactful), or *Surrak and Goreclaw* in Gruul shells. While powerful in a synergy-driven Commander or casual build built around damage trigge
