NEW: Aragorn, King of Gondor by hixg

Format: Commander

Commander: Aragorn, King of Gondor

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Jeskai monarch deck: use Aragorn and a suite of 'become the monarch' cards to claim the crown, then convert monarchy card advantage and unblockable attacks into lethal equipment and extra-combat damage. Pillow-fort cards keep other players from snatching the crown, while token producers and swords build a wide evasive board. The listed two-card loop (Aggravated Assault with Sword of Feast and Famine) is an incidental finisher; planned wins come from repeated combat with Aurelia and token engines. Commander is both the best early monarch trigger and the 'no blocks' effect.
