Cloud by Nadz6609

Format: Commander

Commander: Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Naya Equipment Voltron deck built around Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER, whose haste and attack trigger make him a self-contained clock the moment he resolves. The plan is to deploy Cloud early, suit him with a dense Equipment package, and use his attack trigger - draw a card per equipped attacker, plus two Treasures once he hits 7 power - to snowball into a lethal commander-damage kill. The deck leans hard on cheap equip synergies: Sigarda's Aid, Puresteel Paladin, Hammer of Nazahn, Forge Anew, and Astor, Bearer of Blades cut or eliminate equip costs, letting Cloud swing the turn he lands. Secondary paths include Tifa, Martial Artist granting extra combat phases, Vincent, Vengeful Atoner spreading 7+ damage across the table, Hellkite Tyrant's artifact-steal alt-win, and a suite of legendary backups that double as equipment carriers and value engines. The deck wants to end games through overwhelming combat inevitability rather than a single fragile infinite line.
