Dain and the pimp squad by Kowura

Format: Commander

Commander: Dáin of the Ancient Halls

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Boros Dwarf-tribal deck built around Dain of the Ancient Halls' haste, vigilance, and attack-triggered damage to all opponents. The primary plan is to build a critical mass of Dwarves, then use Dain to convert that board into multi-opponent damage, usually amplified by Gisela, Fiery Emancipation, or Torbran and repeated with extra combat effects or trigger doublers. Secondary paths include Equipment-voltron beats via Bruenor Battlehammer and Embercleave, and a treasure-tutoring engine with Magda that finds key Equipment. There is no hidden commander; the single-faced Dain is the engine and the deck is explicitly built to maximize his attack trigger.
