Monkeys are a Red and Green creature type in Magic, portrayed as clever, agile, and mischievous creatures that thrive in wild jungles and bustling cities alike. They range from tiny tricksters to larger, more imposing beasts, but they share a knack for quick, opportunistic play.
Typal Monkey decks usually lean aggressive, using cheap creatures to swarm the board and trigger payoffs that care about the creature type. Red and Green give access to combat tricks, haste, and token generation, while a few Monkey artifacts in the catalog suggest artifact synergies are also possible. Such decks often aim to overwhelm opponents before they can stabilize, mixing wide attacks with value engines that reward having many Monkeys.
