Deck overview

This deck is a Naya Voltron and Equipment aggro strategy led by Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER. The primary game plan revolves around casting high-stat Equipment such as Colossus Hammer, Hero's Blade, or Genji Glove in the opening turns, then casting Cloud on Turn 4. Cloud enters with haste, attaches an Equipment for free, and attacks immediately. When his power reaches 7 or higher, his attack trigger nets a fresh card and two Treasure tokens, creating sustained mana velocity. The deck uses equipment tutors like Stoneforge Mystic and Fighter Class to guarantee access to key weapons. Mid-game turns scale combat pressure using double strike enablers, extra combat steps from Tifa, Martial Artist, and protective artifacts like Champion's Helm. Because Cloud eliminates opponents sequentially through combat, the deck protects its board through phasing and indestructible effects while systematically dismantling opposing life totals by Turn 7.
