Deck overview

This is a mono-red Equipment Voltron and extra-combat deck helmed by Gilgamesh, Master-at-Arms. The core plan is to ramp into Gilgamesh, who repeatedly digs six cards deep on ETB and on attack to dump Equipment directly onto the battlefield and attach one to a Samurai. The deck then closes through massive equipped attackers, multiplayer reach via Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar, and extra-combat chains from Godo, Bandit Warlord, Genji Glove, Akki Battle Squad, and Full Throttle. Secondary paths include Chandra's Ignition on a pumped body, the Helm of the Host + Godo infinite-combat loop, and Knuckles the Echidna's artifact-count alternate win. Gilgamesh is the primary assembly engine-a repeatable battlefield Equipment tutor-while the 99 supplies dense payoffs, haste enablers, and a handful of backup tutors. The list is extremely artifact-centric and wins by turning one large combat step into a table elimination.
