Commander: Ratonhnhaké꞉ton

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is an Equipment-centric aggro strategy helmed by Ratonhnhake ton, an Assassin commander that gains hexproof and unblockable until it deals damage. The primary game plan is to suit up the commander with a dense arsenal of Equipment - Colossus Hammer, Excalibur, Sword of Eden, and Kaldra Compleat - then attack for lethal commander damage. The commander's combat-damage trigger creates a 1/1 Assassin token and recurs an Equipment from the graveyard, providing sustained value and a secondary Assassin tribal subtheme. The deck leverages a high artifact count for ramp and draw, with Sram, Senior Edificer, Puresteel Paladin, and Skullclamp generating card flow. Tutors like Fabricate and Entomb assemble key pieces, while Forge Anew and Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist bypass equip costs. A backup win condition exists via Ramses, Assassin Lord if an opponent is eliminated by an Assassin.
