The Armory by Logrith

Format: Commander

Commander: Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist and Tymna the Weaver

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

An Orzhov equipment-voltron deck built around Ardenn's free-attach trigger and Tymna's lifelink draw. The primary plan is to tutor Grafted Exoskeleton and Colossus Hammer, stack them on an evasive or already-present creature, and kill each opponent with one 10+ poison hit. The secondary plan is a token/lifegain drain using Bitterblossom, Court of Grace, Anointed Procession, and Elas il-Kor. Swords add card advantage and protection while attacking. Kemba, Kha Enduring and Armored Skyhunter are support cards, not hidden commanders. Cheap artifacts, Sol Ring, and Equipment tutors let the deck assemble its finishing pieces quickly, while a small instant-speed protection package protects the critical turn.
