Commander: Balan, Wandering Knight

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

A mono-white Equipment voltron deck built around Balan, Wandering Knight. The main path is to tutor out cheap equipment, cast Balan, and use his {1}{W} ability to pile a critical mass of swords and utility equipment onto him. Double strike plus either 11 power or Grafted Exoskeleton's infect makes one-shot commander or poison kills; Ardenn and Stonehewer Giant act as hidden redundancy for the all-equip trick. Secondary axes include Stonehewer-cheated equipment, Armored Skyhunter value, Cloudsteel Kirin's unbeatable lock, and a small infect package through Inkmoth Nexus, Mirrex, or Skrelv.
