Paladin tribal by DillyDally

Commander: Aragorn, King of Gondor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Jeskai Paladin-and-Equipment midrange deck helmed by Aragorn, King of Gondor. The plan is to develop a critical mass of Knights/Paladins and Swords, cast Aragorn to seize the monarchy, then attack with a functionally unblockable team every combat. Aragorn's attack trigger blanking blockers (and blanking *all* blockers while you are the monarch) turns even a modest board into a one-sided alpha strike, while his lifelink and the dense Equipment suite push commander-damage and wide-combat clocks simultaneously. Primary wins are fair combat amplified by Halvar, God of Battle // Sword of the Realms, Aurelia, the Warleader, and Aggravated Assault; a supporting infinite-combat line exists via Aggravated Assault plus Sword of Feast and Famine. The list is heavily tribal-synergistic but light on tutors, ramp, and stack interaction, so it wins by grinding value through monarchy, Equipment triggers, and repeated unblockable swings rather than by comboing off early.
