The Armory of Lucis by Juan_Pablo

Format: Commander

Commander: Noctis, Heir Apparent

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

An Esper equipment-voltron deck built to turn Noctis's Warp-Strike into a repeatable one-shot. The commander exiles himself and returns unblocked and attacking during the same combat, and his enter-combat trigger free-attaches one Equipment; Forge Anew and Puresteel Paladin turn that into a mass-equip turn. The primary kill is Noctis dealing 21 commander damage with Colossus Hammer (or Blackblade Reforged) plus double strike from Squall, Duelist's Heritage, or Genji Glove. Secondary routes use Armory Automaton, Beatrix, and Squall as equipment carriers and recursive beaters. The deck is fast but fragile: it relies on a single unblockable commander, a dense artifact core, and a small protection suite. No hidden commander sits in the 99-Squall is the most important supporting piece.
