Ekthi, Contaminator Priest by Brandchance

Format: Commander

Commander: Ekthi, Contaminator Priest

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Ekthi turns every Equipment into a Phyrexian Germ token, making even a zero-mana Hammer a creature generator. The deck is a mono-white Equipment voltron list that chains cheap equipments through Sram, Puresteel Paladin, and Skullclamp, then consolidates them with Ardenn, Forge Anew, or Balan. The primary finish is 21 commander damage from Ekthi after Colossus Hammer, Nettlecyst, and Blackblade Reforged are attached; a wide Germ backup can close games under Elesh Norn and Mite Overseer. Ardenn is the hidden commander, letting the deck attach an arbitrary number of Equipment at no mana. There is no infinite combo; the deck wins by repeated large combat steps.
