Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Naya Equipment aggro build led by Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER. The primary strategy focuses on deploying impactful Equipment cards during the early turns—such as Colossus Hammer, Buster Sword, or Excalibur, Sword of Eden—and following up with Cloud on Turn 4. Thanks to Cloud's innate haste and zero-cost auto-attachment trigger upon entering the battlefield, the deck bypasses expensive equip costs and applies immediate lethal pressure. Cloud generates card draw on attack and creates two Treasure tokens once his power meets or exceeds 7, fueling further board development and protection spells. While the deck boasts immense redundancy in finding Equipment and defending its board with spells like Heroic Intervention and Clever Concealment, its path to table elimination relies primarily on fair combat steps, giving opponents three response cycles across the table rotation.
