Deck overview

This deck is an Esper Voltron and combat saboteur strategy helmed by Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima. The game plan revolves around accelerating into Jin Sakai, tutoring powerful Equipment, and leveraging Jin's modal ability to grant unblockability or double strike to solitary attackers. By pairing massive stat boosters like Excalibur, Sword of Eden and multi-trigger engines like Genji Glove or Cloud, Midgar Mercenary with Jin's combat triggers, the deck deals lethal commander damage in single swings while generating extensive card advantage. A dense suite of cheap Equipment tutors guarantees key weapons on curve, while efficient countermagic, protection equipment, and spot removal defend the Voltron carrier. Even when the commander is removed, redundant threats like Squall, SeeD Mercenary and Ninjutsu payoffs seamlessly pick up the weapons to maintain continuous table pressure.
