Living Weapon by GarnetGambit

Format: Commander

Commander: Ekthi, Contaminator Priest

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Ekthi, Contaminator Priest is the engine of a mono-white Equipment deck: he gives every Equipment living weapon, so each Sword or Hammer creates its own Phyrexian Germ and enters already attached. The primary plan is to feed that attach-on-entry value into a single massive attacker, using Ardenn-essentially a hidden commander-Balan's mass-equip ability, or Puresteel Paladin's free equips to concentrate Equipment (Colossus Hammer, Kaldra Compleat, Swords) and win via one-shot commander damage. Secondary paths use Anointed Procession and Mondrak to flood Germs, and Sram/Skullclamp/Stoneforge for engine consistency. Ekthi both supplies the Germ bodies and pumps them, but Balan turns those bodies into lethal double-strike swings.
