Deck overview

This deck is a high-tempo Naya Equipment aggro strategy helmed by Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER. The primary game plan focuses on deploying high-impact Equipment on the first three turns, followed by casting Cloud on Turn 4. Thanks to Cloud's enter-the-battlefield trigger and haste, he automatically equips heavy weapons such as Colossus Hammer, Buster Sword, or Genji Glove without paying equip costs and attacks immediately. Each attack draws cards and generates two Treasure tokens whenever Cloud reaches 7 or more power, fueling rapid mid-game board development and protection spells. The deck features redundant equipment tutors and cost-cheat enablers to ensure high consistency. While multi-turn combat eliminations expose the board to sweepers, the inclusion of Deflecting Swat, Heroic Intervention, Mithril Coat, and Conqueror's Flail provides strong shielding against opposing disruption, enabling a reliable finish by Turn 7.
