Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Lightning, Army of One is a Boros equipment-Voltron deck built to turn a single unblocked hit from Lightning into a one-turn kill of the entire table. The typical line pairs Colossus Hammer with Embercleave and Kediss: the Hammer and Embercleave make Lightning 14/13 with double strike, Stagger doubles the normal hit, and Kediss spreads 42 damage to each opponent. Seven extra-combat effects give alternate paths when the one-shot pieces are missing. The deck runs a low curve, many equipment tutors, and a large instant-speed protection package, but it leans on Lightning staying alive and on assembling the right equipment, double-strike, and damage-spread combination. No hidden commander exists; Sunforger acts as a toolbox rather than a second engine.
