Deck overview

This is an Esper Assassin Equipment Voltron deck helmed by Ratonhnhake:ton, a 3-drop who is hexproof and unblockable until he connects, then converts every hit into an Assassin token carrying a freshly-reanimated Equipment straight from the graveyard. The deck layers a huge Equipment suite (30+ pieces) with a genuine recursion engine - the commander, Forge Anew, Emry, Lurker of the Loch, Restart Sequence, and Pre-War Formalwear all rebuy artifacts - so the voltron plan rebuilds itself. The primary win is commander damage through big hammers like Colossus Hammer and Kaldra Compleat with double strike from Fireshrieker or Leyline Axe, backed by a dense Assassin subtheme (Ramses, Assassin Lord, Rooftop Bypass, Brotherhood Regalia) that offers an alternative "you win the game" line. Because the deck leans so heavily on artifacts, it is fast and explosive but structurally vulnerable to a single resolved hate piece.
