Deck overview

This is an Assassin-tribal Equipment deck commanded by Ratonhnhake ton. The primary game plan is to deploy the commander early - his hexproof and unblockable status until he deals damage make him an ideal carrier - then suit him up with Equipment that provide evasion, card advantage, or mana acceleration. Each successful combat damage trigger creates a 1/1 Assassin token and recurs an Equipment from the graveyard, building a growing board of suited-up threats. The deck leverages the historic creature type (artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas) for card draw, recursion, and cost reduction. The primary win condition is overwhelming combat damage, with Ramses, Assassin Lord providing an alternate "you win the game" trigger when an opponent loses the game after being attacked by an Assassin. The deck is a mid-range tempo strategy that relies on repeated, evasive combat to generate value and eventually close out the table.
